WHITE PROTEIN PIZZA
This creamy white sauce protein pizza is a deliciously satisfying way to fuel your day, offering a robust 38 grams of high-quality protein per serving to support muscle recovery and keep you energized. The luscious garlic and ricotta create a rich, velvety sauce that pairs perfectly with a crispy crust, delivering a harmonious blend of creamy, savory, and subtly sweet flavors with every bite. The tender texture of the ricotta melts beautifully into the sauce, while the garlic adds a fragrant, savory kick that elevates the entire dish. Perfect as a post-workout meal or meal prep option, this pizza is both nourishing and indulgent, making it an ideal choice for anyone looking to boost their macros without sacrificing flavor. For those with dietary restrictions, this recipe can be easily made gluten-free with a gluten-free crust, and vegan modifications are simple using plant-based ricotta and dairy-free cheese options. To achieve the best results, spread the sauce evenly over a pre-baked crust and bake until bubbly and golden, ensuring the cheese is perfectly melted and the edges are crisp. Enjoy this protein-packed treat on its own or paired with a fresh side salad for a balanced, satisfying meal that keeps you full and fueled for hours.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Slice is too dry
Try reducing baking time by 2-3 minutes, or add an extra tablespoon of Greek yogurt to the batter.
Not rising properly
Check that your baking powder is fresh (less than 6 months old). Also avoid overmixing the batter.
Gummy texture in center
This usually means under-baking. Use a toothpick to test - it should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Too dense
Make sure you're measuring protein powder correctly. Too much protein powder can make baked goods dense.
