1-2 garlic cloves
1 chia egg ( 1 tbsp pre soaked chia seeds)
1 tbsp italian seasoning
salt to taste
pepper to taste

Add chia seeds to small bowl, add about 2 tbsp of water per 1 tbsp of chia. Set aside.
Add chopped raw potatoes, chickpeas, garlic, and seasoning to blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. Add small amounts of water, SLOWLY and only as needed until smooth.
Remove mixture from blender. Place in a bowl. Add your chia egg. (Should pre soak for about 10-20 minutes)
Knead "dough" into a ball combining the chia egg evenly.
Add dough to the center of a cheese cloth or dish towel over the sink. Squeeze all remaining water out of the dough. The more you can squeeze out the better.
* Tip: Add more spices back in if you feel you lost them in large amounts of water.
Add your dough to a pizza pan. * Grease, wax paper or nonstick pan is needed. Spread the dough out evenly. Thinner will allow it to cook more evenly and thoroughly.
Place dough only into your oven on 350 degree for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown.

Add toppings of your choice. Place back in the oven just to warm the toppings.
Serve and enjoy.
Some Pretty Nourished Do's:
Benefits of Basil
Anti-inflammatory
Cancer-fighter
Pain-reducer (analgesic)
Fever-reducer (antipyretic)
Diabetes-preventer
Liver-protector (hepatoprotective)
Blood vessel-protector
Immune-booster
Herbs like basil contain essential oil compounds because these help the plant defend itself from predators like bugs, rodents and strains of bacteria in the soil. When we ingest these protective oils, we experience similar benefits: a boost in immunity and protection from disease.
Benefits of Chickpeas:
Chickpeas are a form of complex carbohydrate that the body is able to slowly digest and use for energy. This is essential, as all carbohydrates are not created equal; some quickly raise blood sugar levels and lead to “spikes and dips” in energy (these are called simple or fast carbs), while others do the opposite and give us sustained fuel ((these are called complex carbs).
Chickpeas nutrition boasts high levels of iron, zinc, folate, phosphorus, and B vitamins, all of which are especially important for vegetarians and vegans who may be lacking in these essential nutrients due to avoiding animal products. Chickpeas are great source of folate, also called Vitamin B6. Folate is important for helping the body to effectively produce new cells as it plays a role in copying and synthesizing DNA.
