Vegan Pizza (1 piece)

Choose a thinner, higher-fiber crust made with chickpea, lentil, or 100% whole-grain flour, and avoid sweetened or refined white-flour crusts.

Limit the portion to 1–2 slices and pair it with a large non-starchy vegetable salad with olive oil and vinegar before or alongside the pizza.

Add protein and fat toppings such as tofu, tempeh, unsweetened soy cheese, olives, avocado, nuts, or seeds; avoid sweet sauces and sugary vegan cheese alternatives.

Ask for extra vegetables such as mushrooms, peppers, spinach, broccoli, zucchini, and artichokes, and go light on high-starch toppings like potatoes or large amounts of corn.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk soon after eating, if this is safe for you.

Check your glucose response to different crusts, portions, and toppings so you can identify the combination that works best for you.
