The tough thing about staying healthy in this day and age is the amount of unhealthy foods available to us. Unhealthy eating has become a habit for many people. Foods are convenient and appealing, but they are destroying our health. Sadly, many people do not realize how unhealthy these foods can be for their bodies. They want food that is fast and easy, and in many cases they are actually addicted to the bad ingredients found in these foods. Salt and sugar and other chemicals get into our systems and leave us wanting more and more. No matter how much we eat, our bodies are always deprived and addicted to bad things.
The good news is you can eat your favorite foods without these negative consequences. This pizza is an example and so are our healthy fries and delicious burgers. Eating healthy does not require sacrifice and these recipes prove it!

Zucchini-Bell Pepper Pizza
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 red onion small, cut in half and then thinly sliced
- 1 cup bell peppers sliced
- 1 zucchini small, sliced
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce (Skinny Ms. recipe)
- 1/2 cup sun dried tomatoes diced or 2 Roma tomatoes, sliced
- 8 green olives diced
- 1 tablespoon fresh basil chopped
- 1/2 cup skim mozzarella cheese shredded
- 1 whole wheat thin pizza crust 10 or 12 inch
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°.
- In a large skillet, add oil, and sauté on medium-low heat for 1 minute, the garlic, onion, bell peppers (if using the Balsamic Bell Pepper recipe, do not sauté with the other ingredients), and zucchini slices.
- Spread sauce over the crust, leaving 1 inch around the edges dry. Evenly distribute onto crust the garlic, onion, bell peppers, zucchini, sun-dried tomatoes, olives, basil, and mozzarella cheese. Preferably, place pizza directly onto middle oven rack. Otherwise, place pizza on a large cooking stone or cookie sheet. Bake 10 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
