Choosing the healthiest toppings is just one way to make a better-for-you pizza. Start your meal makeover by using healthy substitutes of these ingredients and make your pizza healthy and guilt free.
1. Whole wheat flour crust
Forget the traditional white-flour crust and make your own whole-wheat dough for some extra protein and fiber and a yummy, nutty flavor.
2. Make your own Pizza sauce
Make your own pizza sauce to avoid store-bought versions that can be packed with sugar. Slice up some tomatoes for your pizza sauce. Less fuss and just as much flavor.
3. For white pizza
For a healthy white pizza, try roasted garlic coconut sauce—simply garlic cloves, coconut milk, and a pinch of salt. This adds a touch of sweetness to a classically savory dish.
4. Go healthy with the toppings
Throw black beans on a variety of pizzas for extra protein, fiber, and flavor. You can also use scrambled eggs for a trendy topping. Whatever you decide, an egg on a pizza is never a bad idea.
5. Cheese
For something a little more unique, cottage cheese is a great (low-fat) option for all the cheese-lovers among us .
