Can Pizza Be Added To The Healthy Category

With a few tweaks, you can make pizza that healthy and tasty.

If you want to try your hand at making a guilt-free pizza, use the following tips:

  1. Make your own sauce:
    Sauces available in supermarkets are packed with sugar, salt and other not-so-healthy ingredients. You can control the type and level of ingredients in your sauce by making it from scratch. Be creative with your combination of garlic, pepper, fresh tomatoes, fresh herbs and sea salt to give your pizza a signature flavor.

  1. Experiment with unconventional cheeses:
    Cheese is a great source of calcium. However, many of the cheeses used for pizzas are packed with fats and calories.
    Try different cheeses for your pizza. This will not only help you reduce the fats and calories in your pizza but will also help you add unique flavors to your pizzas.

  1. Make a thin crust:
    Who doesn’t like a thick crust on their pizza? Your waist won’t be thanking you for that extra thick pizza. Making a thin crust is one of the simplest ways to make your pizza heather. You get to enjoy the delicious flavor of regular pizza while not having to worry about all those extra calories.

  1. Use whole-wheat flour:
    Another great way to reduce calories and improve the nutritional value of your pizza is by using whole-wheat flour instead of the traditional white flour. Whole-wheat flour will add some extra protein and fiber to your pizza.

  1. Swap processed meats for chicken:
    Classic pork sausages are packed with fats and salt. You can still have that great flavor by using grilled chicken.
    Making your own pizza gives you the opportunity to control the ingredients and ensure that you have a healthy treat.
