With a few simple tweaks, you can turn pizza into a healthy meal! Start with a whole-grain crust (or pita), a thin layer of tomato sauce, a small sprinkle of low-fat cheese, and load up on the veggies for your toppings. Stay away from fatty meats like sausage and pepperoni and go for lean cuts such as chicken or turkey instead. Get creative with your spices, too. Also, if you don't want to cook an entire pizza, you can use a tortilla as the crust for a personal pizza as a low carbohydrate alternative. Click on the link below for the recipe!
