Yummy Vegan Pizza

One of my favorite things about the Thrive Diet is the pizza if you can even call it that.  I’ve tried a couple different recipes (of course with slight modifications) and both were amazing - the Adzuki Bean Quinoa Sesame Pizza and the Curry Lentil Rice Pizza.  Unfortunately, we ate all of the Adzuki Bean Quinoa Pizza before we could get a picture.  Guess I’ll just have to make it again.

Here’s the Curry Lentil Rice Pizza - made from all natural ingredients - DELICIOUS:

Here’s the Lentil Curry Rice recipe - modified a bit from the original:
