WINNER. Absolute WINNER of a recipe.
A serving is only 200 calories, it’s low sodium (AND low fat) and you can have THREE (yes 3!) pieces per serving. Goes REALLY well with a fresh green salad and will fill you up nicely.
Keep in mind that nutritional data WILL change depending on what you put on the pizza, so stick with veggies that add flavor & cheeses that are low in fat.
This recipe makes 4 servings. (cut in fourths) and takes about 20 minutes.
Big thanks to healthyinayear for posting her recipe pics! See them here.
Ingredients:
Dough
- 2 cups Riced Cauliflower (Cauliflower grated to rice size)
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup Skim Mozzarella Cheese
- Oregano
Toppings
- Low-sodium/low-fat pizza sauce.
- 1/2 cup Mozzarella Cheese
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Veggies of choice: Red Onion, Red Pepper, Green Pepper, Garlic & Mushrooms…
Crust Directions
Preheat oven to 450. In a microwave safe bowl, cover riced cauliflower and cook in microwave for 2 minutes. Mix in the 2 eggs & 1 cup cheese until dough-y. Spread whole mixture on a piece of parchment paper & place on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with oregano.
Bake crust in oven for around 15 minutes.
Toppings:
While crust is baking, chop & sautee desired veggies with one tbsp of olive oil over medium heat, 3-5 minutes.
After 15 minutes, remove crust from oven. Top with pizza sauce, veggies & cheese. Eat as is (the cheese will melt) or bake 1-2 minutes until cheese is melted on top.
Slice into fourths & serve.
(Psst: Pesto is a GREAT substitute for pizza sauce. It’s high flavor, so no need to put too much on). The dough can also be cut up and served like bread sticks, if you add a little garlic. :)
Have you guys noticed I love me some healthy pizza recipes? Cuz I LOOOVE pizza ya’ll!

I’ve been meaning to share these babies with you all for awhile. What are they? Avocados (iPod classic included in photo for size reference)! Straight from my grandparents in Puerto Rico. They’re long gone now, but they were delicious while they lasted. Soooo soooo delicious.
So it just occurred to me today to slice up a banana and put it on my whole wheat toast with peanut butter.
OMG.
OMG.
What have I been doing with my life before this? WHAT.
I don’t know how I’ve never eaten a banana with peanut butter before. All I know is, my life was incomplete! Holy cow. That was delicious. I felt like I was indulging in some super-rich dessert, but not. Like, wow. Okay. I’ll shut up now about the stupid banana but daaaang. So many good food ~feelings~.

Zucchini fries! They came out pretty good.. I should have added a little extra seasoning, but they’re still yummy =)
Here’s the recipe!! http://healthyequalshappy.tumblr.com/post/9240730011/jenxya-baked-zucchini-fries-approx-75
FYI: I used a half of an egg instead of just an egg white and I used panko breadcrumbs.
Sounds awesome! Will definitely be trying this :)

Ingredients
*Feel free to use corn tortillas, whole wheat tortillas, pitas, lettuce, or whatever else strikes your fancy/dietary needs.
Directions
1. In a small bowl combine olive oil, salt, and pepper.
2. Brush the portobello mushrooms and sweet pepper with the olive oil mixture. Stack tortillas and wrap in foil.
3. For a charcoal grill, place the portobellos, pepper quarters, and foil packet on the rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium coals. Grill 8 to 10 minutes or until tender, turning once halfway through grilling time. (For a gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat the medium. Place portobellos, pepper quarters, and foil packet on a grill rack over heat. Cover and grill as above.)
4. Slice portobello and sweet pepper into strips. In a medium bowl, mash one of the avocados; stir in mayonnaise and chili powder. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Slice remaining avocado. Serve sweet pepper, portabello and sliced avocado on tortillas. Top with mayonnaise mixture. Makes 4 servings.

Starting my workout super late today, but that is totally okay, because a lot of good things happened today.
First, not only is my mom going to exercise with me (yay for healthy moms!), but my whole family is on board for totally revamping the way we all eat. In other words, I’m not going to transition into a healthier lifestyle alone. My mom has been asking me to look up healthy recipes for her, as well as help her put together a healthy grocery list. How awesome is that?
This is really exciting :) As soon as we get into the swing of things, I will post some of the recipes we use, and photos too!
I’d also love to get some more recipe ideas! Do you have a favorite healthy food blog or site? Hit up my ask box with suggestions!
Now I’m off to make my fat sob uncontrollably ;)
