In my late teens I didn’t know how to cook. I thought a oat bran muffin was a good breakfast choice, natural confectionary lollies where healthy and skinny hot chocolates where “A OK”. Just so you know I was very wrong.

Nevertheless I have come a VERY long way since then. I was determined to feel fit and healthy. I started a fitness routine and would come home and have these “Healthy Pizzas” for dinner. To me it was a great start and my flat mate also loved them, it was fun night eating “healthy” pizza and watching movies. Sometimes it really is the small things that can make the biggest difference. 

They are a guilt-free recipe I still use today. 

Ingredients

Wholemeal Lebanese Bread (base). I now use gluten-free wraps or keto pizza bases. 
Tomato Paste
Spinach
Cherry Tomatoes – chopped
Red Capsicum – sliced thinly
Avocado – sliced
Tuna Can
Low Fat Cheese
Chilli Flakes and Oregano

Directions

1. Preheat the oven 180 degrees
2. On a wire rack place pizza base
3. Dollop the tomato paste in the middle of the pizza base approx. 2 or 3 tbsp.
4. With the back of a spoon spread the sauce in a circular motion outwards until its 1cm away from the edge and evenly spread
5. Cover entire base with spinach leaves – They shrink a lot and this way you can use less cheese
6. Evenly scatter veggies over pizza then tuna can
7. Grate cheese over top, just lightly to reduce energy intake.
8. Add spices like chilli or oregano (optional)
9. Bake for 10-15 mins or until edge is a golden brown and the base has gone firm
10. Cut with a pizza roller or a large knife will do!

Enjoy your delicious healthy pizza!

TIPS:

• You can use any toppings you like, mushrooms work well, zucchini, chilli flakes
• Swap the tomato base for sugar free BBQ sauce
• Swap tuna can for shredded chicken or ham or go completely vegetarian
• Eat mindfully. One pizza is enough. Ensure you drink plenty of water.
• Best had post training or around a active time if weight loss is your focus
