Review: Amy's Pizza

About a week ago, the wonderful people at Amy's sent me a few coupons to try out some of their products. Ever since I became a vegan, I was really bummed and felt like I was never going to get to have pizza again. Until now that is! Amy's makes a large variety of vegan products like pizzas, burgers, pot pies, enchiladas, soups, and more!

All Amy's products are vegetarian. They also offer various tree nut free, gluten free, diary free, and soy free products. I chose the Soy Cheeze Pizza made with organic tomatoes & flour. This pizza is lactose free and non GMO. It was amazing! It tastes like restaurant quality. It doesn't have veggies, so you can add whatever you want for toppings or just eat it plain. I ate it just as it was made and loved it. I am not normally a fan of soy based cheeses, but this was so good! Amy's pizza is my new favorite pizza!

I ate the whole pizza on my own! This pizza goes great with a bottle or two of beer. I put hot sauce on mine, because I like spicy. If you have not tried Amy's products yet, then you need to get on it! They use quality ingredients and try to use organic as much as possible, which is very important to me. I found this on their site, "We have earned a reputation in the farming community as the company with the most rigid standards for quality and consistency. This is as it should be. Just imagine if you were planning a special meal for your closest friends. Wouldn’t you take the time to select the best of everything? Bright green broccoli, perfect potatoes, sweet tomatoes and tangy onions? Sure you would, and because we think of every customer as a guest in our home, you deserve the very best that nature provides."
That makes me very happy to hear!

Please note, Amy's donated these coupons to me. I was not paid for this review. Subscribe to their newsletter to be up to date on their newest products HERE.

Pizza & Cookies


First off, the pesto.

1 bunch of Thai sweet basil
2 garlic cloves
1/2 cup soaked cashews
sea salt
1/4 an avocado
enough olive oil to process

Throw it all in the food processor until well incorporated.

I used some naan bread for the pizza crust and then covered it with pesto.

Some apple/kale juice while I'm cooking

My Pizza

2 naan
homemade pesto
handful of organic spinach
handful of crimini mushrooms
half a yellow bell pepper
half a tomato
1/4 an organic purple onion
mozzarella daiya cheese
cheddar daiya cheese

Bake at 375 for 15 minutes.

This pizza was AWESOME! I was so proud of myself. I had some organic chocolate stout with it and didn't really like it.

Next up, almond milk.

Almond milk is so easy.

Almond milk

3 cups purified water
1/2 cup raw almonds
1 Tbsp agave
pinch sea salt

Blend all ingredients on high for 2 minutes. I didn't have cheesecloth so I had to use my tea strainer to strain it after. Strain the milk through the tea strainer or cheesecloth into a clean glass. Drink! Check out the recipe for raw hemp milk HERE.


Lastly, vegan chocolate cookies.

Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies

3/4 cup white flour
1/2 cup wheat flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup raw white sugar
3/4 cup vegan margarine
1/2 cup raw almond milk
1 tsp vanilla
salt
1 cup or more vegan chocolate chips

Mix wet ingredients. Mix dry ingredients separate. Mix them all together. Add chocolate chips last. Bake at 300 for 15-20 minutes.
I had a wonderful day, goodnight :)
