What I don't love about pizza is the insane amount of calories per slice. I just couldn't understand how loading some dough with so many "healthy" things could be "bad" for you?
One of the first things I had to do when I first started my weight loss journey was figure out a way to get my pizza fix without breaking the calorie bank.
The solution? Fat free cheese and a lighter crust.
I was never a fan of thin crust pizza but for the sake of a healthy lifestyle I have managed to adapt. That isn't to say I don't crave Pizza Hut deep dish but this little recipe usually does the trick to curb those cravings. PLUS! My 6 year old LOVES to top hers with as many veggies as she can find. I have to admit, her carrot/spinach/mushroom/broccoli pizza was quite a sight. But she ate every last bite* and looks foreword to our Pizza nights.
We usually pair our flatbread pizza with a spinach side salad topped with light Italian dressing. For about $10 our family of 3 can make this meal several times. I will often throw one together for lunch as well!
*I should clarify that she likes those veggies anyway but I can usually only talk her into 1 at a time. There is just something about decorating her pizza that makes her not care that they are all mixed.
