SPOOKY, BUT GOOD FOR YA, SNACKS FOR POST-RUN

Kate Dzienis • October 29, 2022

Something a little bit different for this edition of Ultramag!

It’s spooky season! Halloween is this Monday, and we know some of you don’t take to the day – and that’s okay! Others, like myself, like to have a little bit of fun on October 31 so I’d thought I’d provide some choice post-run snacks that are high in protein so you can hit stop on those lolly cravings after the kids have gone trick or treating!

Crust
2 ½ cups shredded cauliflower

Soak up excess water from cauliflower and place the cauliflower in a bowl
Add the remaining crust ingredients to the bowl and mix well with a spoon or spatula
Line a large pan (or two medium-sized pans) with parchment paper
Divide the cauliflower mixture into six equal-sized balls, place on the parchment, and roll out to your desired thickness
Place the mini crusts in the oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until crisp but not brown

Add toppings to the crust and cook in the oven for another five to 10 minutes
