How is this sweet watermelon pizza good4you?
Watermelon is 92% water, something we all need lots of to keep hydrated, especially on a hot summer day. On it’s own, it is packed full of antioxidants and Vitamins A & C. By adding the yogurt, berries, coconut & almonds, the nutritional value increases. There are more antioxidants, minerals and healthy fats because of the added ingredients. There’s even a small amount of protein. Change up the toppings if you want to add variety.
