This was pretty easy for me, I love a good veggie pizza, but if you are a meat lover there are some lower fat alternatives out there. One Ive bought in the past is turkey pepperoni. It has 70% less fat than regular pepperoni!

My recipes for tonights pizza was pretty darn simple:

1 great value brand pizza crust- each serving has 2g of fat and 170 calories per serving (a quarter of a pizza) prepared per the package directions. Except for the ‘greased’ pie pan. I sprayed a very quick spritz of olive oil and then dusted liberally with whole wheat flour. I forgot to buy cornmeal.

Pizza Sauce- watch the fat in these, they can be pretty high!

veggie/fruit toppings: pineapple, fresh mushrooms and fresh tomatoes

Fat free mozzerella cheese- seriously I didnt have high expectations on how this would melt up, I have vague memories of nasty melty cheese from when I was a kid, I always associated it with low fat/ fat free cheese (but I could be wrong?!) so When I peaked into the oven I was slightly shocked to see nice, thick, bubbly cheese. My husband told me next time he wanted some of my (FAT FREE) cheese on his pizza (I made a few small ones) I used Kraft brand, already shredded. Super convienent! I was totally impressed!

I stuck it in the oven at 425 for about 25 minutes. I was happy with my low fat pizza! Definatly a make again! I may next time try it with a home made version of pizza sauce that is much lower in fat and I will probably pick up some low or fat free cheddar cheese to add to the mozzerella.
