COCONUT CRUST SPINACH PIZZA RECIPE

Coconut has many health benefits and even aids in weight loss and helps to stimulate the metabolism! In addition, low glycemic index measures how fast available carbohydrates in food raise blood sugar levels.  Coconut fiber slows down the release of glucose, therefore requiring less insulin to utilize the glucose and transport it into the cell where it is converted into energy.  Coconut also assists in relieving stress on the pancreas and enzyme systems of the body, in turn, reducing the risks associated with Diabetes.
