Best Pizza Toppings

I promised my daughter I would make pizza tomorrow.

Its pretty easy to roll the base really thin so the calorie load isn't too bad, and I use passata for the sauce, which is no problem. Question is, what are your favorite diet friendly toppings? I am thinking a sensible amount of half fat mozzarella, parma ham and rocket. Yum

What do you like best?

    Whenever I make my own homemade "healthy" pizzas I put stuff like mushrooms, shredded brussel sprouts, spinach and lower fat mozzarella. Maybe some ham or Canadian bacon.

    Spinach is a good call. Not sure about brussel sprouts on a pizza....

    Garlic, ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese and parmesan cheese. I don't like tomato sauce on my pizza.

    Onions and onions and onion. I also like a little pepperoni. For our homemade pizzas, we also top with some oregano, basil, and red pepper flakes.

    The herbs are a give Pearsquared (you should have my avatar...).

    I'm liking the idea of broccoli, I like it when its slightly crispy. And maybe some red onion....all with a couple slices parma ham.

    That will be enough veg, I can have salad on the side

    Just a pile of veggies and no cheese, maybe some yeast on top, for a more savory taste.

    I like thinly sliced onions and peppers, fresh tomatoes, seafood (tuna, salmon, shrimp, anchovies...whatever is around), olives, even thinly sliced pickles at time, topped with a little bit of cheese.

    When I wasn't eating beef I always loved ground beef topping. Then started eating pork again and back to pepperoni topping. Now I just get pepperoni and beef topping!!

    I would go with regular cheese, the low fat doesn't seem to melt well, and load it with veggies: broccoli, mushrooms, peppers, etc.

    Mmm... Garlic, green peppers, banana peppers, jalapenos, spinach, and low-fat mozzarella.

    Fresh tomatoes, sauteed mushrooms, italian sausage (chicken or turkey if looking for a healthier alternative), goat cheese, and fresh basil.

    Tip: my boyfriend and I use a tortilla wrap instead of pizza crust (180 calories), we use pasta sauce instead of tomato sauce/paste and love loading it with broccoli, ground chicken, feta, red peppers and a bit of jalapeno havarti cheese and maybe some parmesan! Love it...gotta have that over the weekend actually :)

    We made pizza last night. I went with cheese and sausage. My personal pizza was 559 calories and 29g of protein. I don't know what your version of healthy is, so I don't know if that helps :)

    I like artichoke on homemade. Or olives. Oooh and roasted garlic.

    We order one from our local pizzeria that is topped with broccoli, sliced tomato and crispy chicken.

    Hummus instead of sauce is amazing!
