Making your own pizza can save you tons of money while also giving you control over the ingredients and not to mention cleanliness of your meal.

It clogs up your body causing everything to run slower and harder. Eventually, over time this results in disease and constant fatigue as well as weight gain. Even simply switching your pizza dough to wheat free can help you greatly and its cheaper than eating out. If you are able to, buying in bulk can also save money.

The point of living healthier is to start heading in the right direction. Just in this recipe alone there are many variations we could change to make it healthier, cheaper and more environmentally friendly. Having "minimalist eyes" helps you looks for these changes and slowly implement them as you are able. Perhaps using a cloth sack for your bulk flour instead of plastic bags, or researching healthy oils that come in glass containers instead of toxic plastic ones. This also helps you support the right corporations with your money. Corporations that truly care about your health and the quality product they sell. Using our money helps us keep ourselves accountable, as well as the corporations. If enough people stopped buying products that use plastic containers by going bulk or to companies that use glass, we can eventually make a change in our environment. So please do not feel like your voice and actions do not count. There are many of us doing this all across the world and the BEST way you can help is by having more ethical practices right in your own home. Thank you!
