Protein Suggestions:
 Try shredded BBQ chicken, ham, beef strips or a combination!

Low lactose adaptation:
*Use Mozzarella or Cheddar for a low lactose pizza

Vegetarian adaptation:
Omit meat products from recipe or substitute with vegetarian alternatives (e.g tofu, beans).
*If choosing the vegetarian option – try roasting the vegetables in the oven for a deeper flavour (preheat oven to 180°C and cook for 20 minutes).

Vegan adaptation:
Use a vegan friendly cheese (e.g. Bio Cheese) alternative or sprinkle with nutritional yeast for extra nutrients.

FODMAP Friendly:
Use only Low Fodmap veggies in the toppings
Keep to simple passata as a base with no added garlic but with herbs as preferred
