A healthy, customizable pizza featuring whole grain bread, colorful vegetables, and low-fat cheese, perfect for a quick, nutritious meal suitable for all ages.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Spray the Za bread lightly with olive oil or Pam and spread a layer of low-fat no sugar added pasta sauce.
- Add your favorite vegetables such as spinach, broccoli, peppers, onions, and garlic on top of the sauce.
- Top with nonfat shredded Mozzarella cheese.
- Bake at 400°F for 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Tips & Substitutions
For a crispier crust, pre-bake the Za bread for a few minutes before adding sauce and toppings. Feel free to substitute spinach with other leafy greens like kale or arugula. If you want extra flavor, add a sprinkle of Italian seasoning or crushed red pepper flakes. To reduce carbs, use a cauliflower crust instead of Za bread, or explore other healthy pizza alternatives.
Serving Suggestions
Serve your healthy pizza with a side of Italian Broccoli Salad for a refreshing contrast. A light green salad or some roasted vegetables can also complement the meal nicely. For a heartier option, pair with Jo~Anne'S Italian Roast Beef. This pizza is perfect for a casual gathering or as a nutritious weeknight dinner.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the pizza in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5-7 minutes, or until warmed through. Avoid using the microwave to keep the crust from becoming soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of sauce?
Absolutely! While low-fat no sugar added pasta sauce is great for health, you can also use marinara, pesto, or even hummus for a unique twist. Just be mindful of the flavor profile and adjust other toppings accordingly.
Is this pizza suitable for freezing?
Yes, you can freeze the pizza before baking it. Just assemble the pizza, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, and place it in a freezer-safe container. When ready to bake, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight and then bake as directed.
How can I make this pizza vegan?
To make this pizza vegan, simply omit the nonfat shredded Mozzarella cheese and replace it with a vegan cheese alternative or nutritional yeast for added flavor. You can also enhance it with more veggies or vegan protein options like chickpeas.
