Skinny Pizza

I'm one of those people that like to make things from scratch. I don't like cake mix or powdered whip! And today I decided to make a thin crust healthy pizza, the key to a really good pizza is of course the crust. Many people make homemade pizzas, but most use ready made crusts. In this post I will be sharing with you the recipe of my version of a homemade, skinny, delicious, pizzeria-style pizza including the crust.

This pizza is low in calories (less than 300 calories in every pizza) and it fills you up! But you can make it even lighter by substituting Parmesan cheese for mozzarella and wheat flour for white flour.

You will absolutely love this pizza, it's full of flavour, fills you up for long, and is very delicious! And the best part? you'll feel good knowing that you're eating something healthy!

Top your pizza with any vegetables that you like, you can add mushrooms, bell peppers, broccoli, olives... literally just anything you like! If you do try it, leave me a comment and tell me how it turned out, I'd love to hear from you!
