It’s World Pizza Day TOMORROW Tuesday, February 9 and Australian influencer has just released a gorgeous and healthy plant-based pizza from her fitness app, Tammy Fit.

 

The plant-based pizza recipe which will be released soon as part of the Family Meal section, is just one of many plant-based family meals that are currently being developed for the app by New Zealand nutritionist Kelsi Boocock.

 

Tammy says, “Plant-based dishes are becoming more popular and we’ve had so many requests for them in the app as more families are following vegan and vegetarian diets.”

 

Nutritionist Kelis Boocock says when it comes to our health, people seem to be missing the connection between what we eat and how it makes us feel.

 

“Eating more whole foods such as fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts, legumes and seeds can have the ability to not only help your physical wellbeing but also lift your mood, and improve your confidence and self-esteem,” says Ms Boocock.

 

“There are endless stats and figures about the benefits of a plant-based diet, but I think how we feel is ultimately the most important factor, and by increasing your plant intake you will not only help reduce the load on the environment but also impact your overall health and wellbeing.”
