Ingredients in a Healthy Pizza!
Pizza is a great comfort food. However, it isn’t exactly the healthiest choice of food.
The good news is that you can make your pizza healthier by choosing healthy ingredients.
1. Use whole-wheat flour for your crust
Replace the traditional white wheat flour with whole-wheat flour to make the crust a lot healthier. The crust will now be a source of protein and fiber instead of empty calories and sugar. It will also add extra flavor to your pizza.
2. Forgo the flour completely
You can forgo the flour completely and choose gluten-free and lower-calorie options such as cauliflower or zucchini. These vegetable bases are healthier. They also provide a unique flavor to your pizza.
3. Make your own tomato sauce
Store-bought pizza and tomato sauces are packed with sodium and sugar. Spare yourself the extra calories and increased salt and sugar by making your own sauces. There are many recipes for sauces online that you can turn to.
4. Use salsa
Want to give your pizza that extra kick? Consider adding salsa to the spread. Salsa is sure to add a spicy kick to your tomato base and is the perfect ingredient for a spicy Mexican pizza.
5. Use grilled chicken
Swap your pork sausages and other seasoned meats for grilled chicken. This will not only provide the extra protein but will also add a great flavor. Pair this topping with BBQ sauce for the perfect finish.
6. Add some veggies
Go big and add veggies to your pizza. These may include onions, eggplant, squash, olives, sun dried tomatoes, mushrooms and much more. They’ll provide fiber that will keep you satisfied for longer.
7. Use fresh mozzarella
Mozzarella is the perfect cheese to use on a healthy pizza. One ounce of the stuff comes in at only 70 calories.
Make use of healthy ingredients to improve your pizza and ensure you can enjoy it guilt-free.
