    Wow, I was just craving pizza this weekend! I think this would be a totally better way because I can have fun with the kids and not feel guilty about eating it. I think I'll add some chicken, turkey pepperoni or even shrimp (I love seafood pizza).

    Thanks for this post, very helpful :-)

    I like pizza too. I sometimes do the Fat Smash Diet- pizza

    Crust: 1/5 can chickpeas, 1 cup dry oatmeal, 1 egg, tsp olive oil and your favorite fresh herbs and crushed red pepper. Mix all ingredients in a food processor add just a bit of water to loosen the ingredients but maintain doughy consistency. Spread onto a pizza pan (about 10-12 inches around) Bake at 400 deg F until crust looks 'cracked'.

    Toppings: Lay fresh sliced tomatoes across the crust. This will serve as your sauce. I then top it with onions, peppers( red, orange, yellow), mushrooms, broccoli, asparagus, and mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle more herbs and a bit of salt, if you are not watching your sodium. Bake for about 10 minutes or until veggies are tender. YUM!

    Serves 2 at 392 calories per person.

    Though I have to admit, using a tortilla would save a lot of time. Thanks for the suggestion.

    thank you thank you thank you!!!!! Im very new to this . Only my first full week in. I have alot of weight to lose. :blushing: I have been on the sidle lilnes for four years now due to lupus/rhuematoid arthritis/and epilepsy. I could not figure out a way to get this weight off. A nutrion analyst suggestedthis sight to me. And then you come along and offer up a healthy recipe for one of my favorite foods woohoo!!! So thank you very much. You cant imagine how happy i am that i can have pizza again and actually feel good about it.

    Glad that I could be of some help :) I'm pretty new here myself but I have been using this trick for awhile after my mom was diagnosed with multiple myeloma. Had to find healthier ways for us to eat. She has lost 65 lbs and now I am finally getting my butt in gear 100% too. *high five* Best of luck to you in your journey!

    I have started making my own pizza as well....never thought to use the tortillas. I use a pita instead. Pretty much the same ingredients minus the mushrooms. If i want a lil meat i use a tablespoon of chopped bacon ( 25 calories). Try it with the pita sometime. Yours looks soo yummy

    I just made these on whole wheat english muffins. Yum

    I am going to try it too!
    I personally am not a big fan of lighter tortillas. The Weight Watchers ones are so revolting and sticky and aren't even a lot lower than normal ones.
    What I do love though are the Warburtons Square Wraps. I don't know if our friends over the Atlantic Pond would get them over there but they are a lovely big square wrap, they have bits that are almost burnt coloured in places, are not at all floury or doughy. They about 160 cals in each but they are really really worth the extra cals because they taste so nice and are quite thick and so therefore really filling.
    I am going to try that later for my evening meal with some cut up sandwich slices of Turkey cut up and put on top.
    Thanks for that lovely recipe and idea!!!

    I do pretty much the same thing but instead of tortillas I use whole wheat pita bread and to cut down on the sodium I use no salt added tomato sauce and sprinkle it with oregano. Very good with spinach and feta
