I need Healthy Pizza recipes

JoanaMHill

As another poster said, it can be so high in carbs and fat because of how it's made. Carbs and fat aren't bad, but it can be difficult to fit a commercial pizza into your day if you aren't having a "cheat" day. I love pizza, so I try to fit it in as much as possible. What I've found to do is use Flat Out flatbread (I use the kind that's multi-grain with flax) and turkey pepperoni instead of regular since I don't really care for cooked vegetables. I also use sandwich thins; most brands are a hundred calories each, so you just pull it apart and pile on the toppings!

I am gluten free and make my pizza with a corn tortilla as the crust. My favorite is bbq chicken.

My boys love bagel thin or wheat English muffin pizzas. We usually do a wide variety of veggies, and everyone can make their own. My favorite is grilled chicken (usually leftovers) with a bbq sauce and grilled onions and mushrooms. Love the portion control, and they make great leftovers. Just make sure to toast the English muffins/bagel before adding the sauce, so it doesn't get soggy.

Anyone have any luck trying a pizza dough using stevia or agave?

I buy a flatbread pizza crust from albertsons. I used a light alfredo that I added some garlic powder, black pepper and sometime italian seasonings to. I spread a thin layer of that and add cheese, grilled chicken, artichoke hearts, golden tomatoes, mushrooms, spinach, and bacon. Not sure of the stats, but I remember it was around 1200 for the whole pizza

Stevia wouldn't work. The purpose of adding sugar to pizza dough is to give the yeast something to eat, so that they can produce carbon dioxide to rise the dough quickly. Agave might work, honey works fine and has a lovely flavour. The majority of calories in pizza dough are coming from the flour, not the sugar added to the yeast.

I think the important thing is that pizza is a meal that is centred on bread. If you don't want to eat carbs, then eat something else, like a delicious curry, a bowl of chili, or an awesome steak. But don't waste your time trying to make a base from cauliflower or protein powder. You'll just end up with something that looks and tastes disgusting, and nothing at all like pizza, and likely to end up in the bin - what is the point of that?

I LOVE pizza, and in order to get my fix I usually make individual tortilla pizzas. I like using:

low carb tortillas- 60 calories
pizza sauce- 30 calories
1-1.5 servings of mozzarella cheese- 80-120
Chicken or turkey pepperoni- 50 calories
Italian seasoning and oregano

So the whole pizza is about 220-260 calories, depending on how much cheese you use. I put it in the oven at 375 for 10 minutes and my meal is done. The whole thing from start to finish only takes 15 minutes. When you want pizza, but don't want the calories this will help you get your fix.

That's what I do. You can also toast it in a toaster oven.

My protein pancakes make great pizza bases, thank you very much. They are thin, go crispy, and a perfect alternative when I don't want the carbs.

I literally just logged into MFP to post about my pizza cravings, haha! This is awesome!

Well, I don't have a recipe available. However, My husband LOVES pizza and so we found a way to get our regular Pizza recipe down to 400 calories for 2 slices or 1/4th of the pizza. (and eating 1/4th of a pizza at a time is a pretty reasonable amount.)

Anyway the biggest thing we did was with the crust. We buy Walmart - Pizza Buddy Wheat Pizza Dough, as in its not a pre-packaged crust but a frozen dough in the deli section, and split it in half. So that one package makes 2 Pizzas. Top it With Three types of cheese (cheddar, Mozzarella and Parmesan, Sauce (canned sauce I don't make it myself), a solid amount of Peperoni (as in my husband places it so that they are barely not touching and covering the pizza), Fresh Vegetables (bell pepper, onion, mushroom... even canned mushroom), and Bake for 30 min and it comes out Delicious. Depending on your toppings it will be less than 400 calories, for 2 slices, 1/4 of a pizza. If you follow that almost recipe well enough you can use 1 type of meat and any/all vegetables you want on the pizza and still be under the calorie limit. Also, this way you don't have to try to 'make due' with tortilla pizza. (witch I hate completely lol) In fact the days we have pizza, I stay in my diet range better than any other day... 3 meals of pizza ... and a snack of Pizza....

cauliflower based pizza is delish and about 200 cals for 1/4 of the recipe. - depending on your toppings!

I want to make a home made pizza but I want it to be healthy. I am tired of eating so much carbs and food in high calories. Does anyone know a good easy healthy pizza recipe they can share? Thanks!
