Protein Pizza
You can guarantee we are having 'pizza night' once a week in our house! It is so easy, so satisfying, and a great way to get some protein in without your traditional meat and vegetable.
FOR THE BASE
I have used a variety of different wraps In the past, but I am currently loving the Joseph's Lavish Bread (It is a big rectangle, like a flatbread). Be mindful that the nutrition facts on the package are for 1/2 the flatbread - I usually eat a whole (120 calories). This is a much lower cal option than 'cauliflower crust' that you see in stores, which Is usually a tiny amount of cauliflower flour, mixed with a lot of other ingredients, usually being close to the same calorie count as a regular pizza crust.
FOR THE SAUCE
Rao's - My top pick both taste and ingredient wise, but it is $$$
Ragu Simply - A more affordable choice, still better than most on market which are loaded with sugar
CHEESE
I actually don't usually put cheese on mine, but you can always opt for low-fat cheese if you want shredded or Velveeta shreds as a low calorie option. You could also spread a Laughing Cow cheese wedge across the base.
TOPPINGS
PROTEIN IDEAS: Bacon bits, turkey pepperoni, ground beef, ham
VEGGIE IDEAS: Peppers, onions, olives, mushrooms, jalapenos *Add drained pineapple cup for fruit
I always season with pizza seasoning, garlic powder, and oregano. I spray the pizzas with spray oil and bake at 350* for 5-8 minutes (until you see edges browning) and broil on high 1-2 minutes for crunch!
