Whoever said that you should cut out pizza and nachos in your diet as you won't want to ruin your fitness regime...clearly doesn't know about Results with Lucy.
I for one, LOVE pizza and nachos. So, I've created 2 healthier alternatives so you can still enjoy your most favourite foods and still keep fit and healthy!
Pitta Bread Pizza
These are a great way of having your pizza slice and eating it! These are filling and a lot less calorific than shop bought versions. You can add lots of different vegetables as toppings to increase the nutrients in this meal.
Ingredients
Serves 2
For the pizza:
2 whole-wheat pitta breads
1 yellow pepper, sliced
8 slices of mozzarella,
Fresh basil, sliced (optional)
1 yellow pepper, sliced
8 slices of mozzarella,
Fresh basil, sliced (optional)
For the sauce:
¼ teaspoon olive oil
½ onion, chopped
1 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon mixed herbs
4 tablespoons of tomato paste
½ onion, chopped
1 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon mixed herbs
4 tablespoons of tomato paste
Method
1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees.
2. To make the tomato sauce, heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Saute onion and garlic until soft and slightly browned (about 4 minutes) then add tomato paste and herbs. Heat for 2 minutes.
3. On a baking sheet, place the 2 pita breads and evenly spread the sauce over the top of the breads. Add the yellow pepper slices and lay the mozzarella over the top.
4. Add to the oven and bake for roughly 10 minutes, until cheese has melted and bread is slightly browned. Remove from oven and sprinkle with basil. Cut into slices and enjoy!
5. Optional toppings – sliced tomatoes, spicy sausage, peppers, pineapple
