Pizza, pizza, pizza

Challenge Yourself for: 24 Hours

Everyone’s favorite feast can be so much tastier — and healthier — than takeout if you go homemade! First, start with whole grain crust. If you’re watching your fat intake, you might want to skip the meat in favor of veggie toppings. Experiment with low-fat cheeses, vegan versions, and nontraditional toppings (roasted carrots, tuna, and arugula are some to try). Today, challenge yourself to rethink your standard pie with an eye to falling in love with pizza all over again, natural-style! (Tip: If you don’t have time to cook, try our all natural frozen pizzas.)

    homemade veggie pizza’s are the way to go!!! SO tasty with your fav veggies and some cheese on top all over a whole wheat pita. Delicious and healthy.

    We buy a large cheese take-and-bake pizza from our local pizzeria. We remove 1/2 of
    the cheese and then add onions, chopped garlic, fresh sliced mushrooms, red and green bell pepper and pepperoncini. It is very flavorful and filling, and a lot less
    expensive than ordering with all of these toppings. We are all usually satisfied with only two slices and a salad on the side. There is enough pizza left for a quick lunch the next day. Yum!

    I really enjoy using vegan cheese with my lactose intolerance stomach.

    I like to make a pizza using a whole wheat pita round, homemade hummus (rinsed garbanzo beans, a little water, black pepper, oregano and a splash of lemon juice), sliced green and kalamata olives and chopped green onions. I bake it for 10 minutes or so at 400 degrees and it comes out perfectly delicious every time. Best of all, it’s quick, cheap and nutritious!
