Why we love Jackfruit Vegan Pizza Recipe
Jackfruit Vegan Pizza is not only beautiful to the eye but it also holds a lovely flavor profile plus awesome nutrition too!
Green Jackfruit is a part of the fig family and when shredded and flavored it’s very similar texture to shredded chicken. It’s a fun addition to salad, tacos, and pizza too. It takes on the flavors of the dish so the options are limitless!

Creating our Vegan Pizza Recipe
It all began with a simple infusion of kumquat zest and minced basil into a 1/3 cup Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Then, I tossed the shredded green jackfruit in a similar combination and let them both sit for about 30 minutes to get all happy and cozy to meld the flavors.
Our Jackfruit Vegan Pizza really began taking shape–I thinly slicing the kumquats and purple radish, pressed the pizza dough onto the pizza stone, and gave it a healthy rub down with our Infused Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
Sprinkled on the seasoned jackfruit, and the rest of the ingredients excepting the basil leaves. Then tossed it into the oven! Delish.
Fit Friday with Nichole
School is out for summer!
The kids are excited beyond measure and I am ready to get some play time in the sunshine.
I am also already trying to figure out how to stick with some wort of schedule and not have complete chaos running through my house.
I have seen a video making the rounds lately of women saying something along the lines of, “I am happy to go with the flow. What time does the flow start?” That is how I feel approaching summer.
Going with the flow and loving all that summer has to offer means I have to keep some sort of a schedule for myself. Getting in a workout does a lot to keep a smile on my face and sanity coursing through my veins.
I have learned at the beginning of summer I can often get the kids to workout with me, after a couple of weeks the novelty wears off and they would rather get their exercise the way I did as a kid, riding my bike and playing with friends.
This week I am doing a kid friendly Tabata to kick off summer with the kiddos. Make it fun with rewards, challenges, or whatever gets your house going.
