Topping your own pizza is a fun way to get your family involved in helping and creating their own dinner. Choose foods that supply lots of colour for maximum nutrition. When you don’t have the time to make your own dough, use 100% whole wheat pitas. They’re low in fat and not as thick as store bought pizza breads. They’re less expensive too!
Ingredients
Pita bread, 100% whole wheat, low-fat. Choose ones that will hold your toppings nicely.
1 can organic pizza sauce
Olive oil
Pizza Topping Options
Cheese: Mozzerella, low fat shredded cheese, goats cheese slices, Asiago shredded cheeseVeggie options: Asparagus, fresh baby spinach leaves, fresh basil leaves, halved cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, small broccoli florets, kale (leaf only, discard stem), mushroom slices, green or black pitted olives, crushed garlic, onion and fresh or dried herbs like basil, oregano and chili flakes.
