This is a great way to get the kids involved, have fun and be creative, as youngsters are more likely to eat foods that they helped prepare. Have ingredients prepared for the kids and let them decorate their own pizza. Bake pizzas as per package instructions.
Tip: Hemps seeds are a rich source of protein (ounce for ounce they have more protein than red meat!) and are an excellent source of essential fatty acids. They’re an easy addition to any meal. Just sprinkle on top of pizza, salads, soups and pastas – use your imagination!
