Healthy Pizza?

I do it ALL the time! There is a thread on here that talks about various ways to make pizza out of tortillas or flat bread.

I have recently started making them on corn tortillas - two tortillas are only 100! Add your toppings and you will have an awesome lunch or dinner for a little over 250 calories (depending on your toppings of course).

I recommend lightly spraying your tortilla with olive oil or other cooking spray and heating in the oven for 5-7 minutes while you get your toppings ready. I then add my toppings and bake an additional 10 - 12 minutes. I like a crisp crust and this ensures that to be the case!

Oooh! I may have to try this. I'm [supposed to be] gluten free. Never thought of the corn tortillas! Thanks for mentioning this!

I used whole wheat pita breads, and a variety of toppings, grilled chicken, turkey pepperoni, veggies etc then everyone could have their favorite toppings and still enjoy a healthy pizza. Was always fun and they were nice to have pre-made to reheat for lunch at work etc.

I use Boboli brand whole wheat pizza crust and I love it!! 1/6th of the crust alone is like 120 calories and I top it with sauce, a little cheese, maybe some sauteed chicken chunks and lots of peppers and muchrooms (no salt added). I love it and with the toppings a serving is less than 200 calories.

Flatout pizza ALL THE WAY! It tastes like thin crust and is super yummy!

We made pizzas on Monday night that weren't too bad. I have a Biggest Loser cookbook that uses portobella mushroom caps as a crust. Flip the mushroom over, pour in your sauce, add your toppings and cook for 7-10 minutes at 375. We added turkey pepperoni and canadian bacon slices with fat free mozzarella. You have to eat them with a fork, which was weird, but they were good and they were only 97 calories each!

There's a company called Pizza Fit n' Free ..fat free pizzas, all you do is add your toppings. They're a bit pricey, but it's all in what's worth it to you

Oh yes, I am a big fan of the tortilla pizza. I love pizza too, but take out options are not so healthy.

My favorite toppings are ham and pineapple!

We have made pizza at home the following ways so far:

Flat Out - Flat Bread Healthy Grain Harvest Wheat, 1 flatbread
Meijer - Chunky Marinara Pasta Sauce, 1/2 Cup (125g)
Gv - Garlic Powder, 1/4 tsp
Generic (Fresh) - Portabella Mushroom, 2 oz
Sargento - Classic Mozzarella (Shredded), 1/4 cup
Hormel - Turkey Pepperoni Slices, 17 slices

---

345 calories. Of course you could use other toppings. I am thinking about making a spinach one soon, roma tomatoes. The possibilities are endless!

Also before we started using the above ingredients we made this pizza:

Arnold Sandwich Thins- Whole Grain White - Bread, 1 roll
Meijer - Chunky Marinara Pasta Sauce, 1/2 Cup (125g)
Kraft - Shredded Italian Five Cheese Blend, 1/4 cup
Generic (Fresh) - Portabella Mushroom, 2 oz

---

265 calories. Of course like above you can make them to your own taste.

Looking forward to seeing others replies!

sounds delish

I used to make mini pizza's all the time with english muffins and tonight I made some but tried to make them "healthier" this time.



These ended up being 278 calories and so yummy!! I watch my sodium so trying to find low sodium ingredients to use on these wasn't very easy but they are out there and just as tasty. I also used turkey pepperoni instead of regular, couldn't tell the difference! I will certainly be making these again. I LOVE pizza so i'm just happy that there is a viable alternative for me when my husband wants to have regular pizza. This will certainly reduce my temptation to eat some of his

just eat 1 slice of pizza or maybe half depending on the size of the slice. I usually will eat something else low calorie with it. ie. a can of green beans or 1 cup of broccoli. oh and i chew really slowly and enjoy every bite.

it's not homemade, buit I just found out that lean buisine bbq chicken pizza is yummy and NOT as bad on sodium as I expected. It has only 430 mg, and 340 calories.

I know I'm gonna stock up!

Found a great receipe for Roasted Tomato and Artichoke Flatbread Pizza on HealthMag.com...Thinking about making this weekend.

Its 277 calories!!!

I am Italian and LOVE pizza!! I have a way to make it look, feel and taste great. I don't like thin crust so much and not sure about the pitta breads and stuff. When I want pizza, i am going to EAT pizza. But really there is not many bad things to pizza. It depends on what you are using to make it and your toppings. Honestly the sauce, dough and cheese are the baddies on pizza. But best thing to do is... eat less of it.

Here is how to make it the way I do.

I get basic pizza dough at the store. You can use wheat dough too if you can find it. Both taste yummy. I prefer regular pizza dough.
Next I use a tiny bit of sauce. About 2 table spoons. I spread it across the dough just to add color. I use a store bought organic tomato sauce.
Put your dough on the pan. Make a nice circle out of it if you can. I like my dough thick so I don't spread it out too much. I know this is bad of me but i only eat one slice of this thing. I mean it's very filling lol.

Next... you want FRESH mozzarella. Nothing else! Cut it into chunks. Try not to snack on it before placing it on the pizza. I do this and it's bad. lol

Now, i like my vegi's. But what really taste great together is chopped onions, red and green pepper. Toss those on that pizza and watch the colors just pop. Put it in the oven at 425 for 25 minutes.

When you pull it out, let it set for a short bit to cool, cut and serve. You will be biting into one delicious gooey ooey pizza. No need to order out or eat like rabbit. Pizza can be made fresh without adding any oils. Try to stay away from pepperoni... now THAT is bad for you if you are trying to lose weight lol.

This pizza tastes fresh and if eaten in small portions will be something you will want to make every now and again when pizza craving kicks in. Cheers luvs.
