Most people can’t resist a warm, tasty slice of pizza, but this Italian specialty comes with one downside. Pizza doesn’t exactly have a reputation for being healthy and its crust is usually to blame. It’s often packed with refined grains, fats, and calories, but you can make it a little bit better in three short steps.
Make it Thin
The less crust you eat, the fewer fats and calories you’ll consume—and you don’t even have to limit the number of slices you eat to make that happen. Making pizza with a thinner crust will get you there, and your toppings will finally get to shine if you don’t make it too thick.
Flour Choice
Your pizza crust will be as healthy and nutritious as the flour that you’re using. Go for whole wheat flour whenever possible because it’s much healthier and it will make you feel full for longer. You can even do this when you’re ordering pizza because many restaurants offer this option.
Vegetable Crust
If you want to up the fiber content of your pizza, consider making a pizza with a veggie crust. Cauliflower, broccoli, and beet crusts are all the rage these days, and they can make your pizza even more delicious.
