This vegan keto recipe is a healthy, low-carb version of everyone's favorite comfort food. Make the crust using fiber-packed ingredients such as flaxseeds (high in protein and fiber) and psyllium husk powder, which is extremely high in fiber and gluten-free. Psyllium husk powder is made from the husk of the seed of the Plantago ovata plant, which is a blond plaintain once native to the Mediterranean region that has medicinal properties. Make the crust, then add your favorite veggies and dairy-free cheese on top.
