I've been thinking a lot about snacking. When hospital patients experience trauma we recommend eating small frequent meals. It's gentle on digestion and provides a level energy through the day. Eating small, frequent snacks rather than big meals is also good for healthy individuals. One of my favorite small meals is a couple slices of homemade pizza. Here's my secret:
Build your pizza on these two products -
- Mama Mary's Gourmet 100% Whole Wheat Crust - it's thin crust so you can load up on toppings without losing your waistline!
- Muir Glen Organic Pizza Sauce - amazingly fresh and wonderful.
Top your pizza with low-fat and healthy ingredients -
- Capers
- Sauteed mushrooms
- Baby spinach
- Sun-dried tomatoes
- Walnuts
- Artichoke hearts
- Tofu
- Chicken
- Broccoli
With so much flavor from the toppings you'll only need a sprinkling of cheese (I use a soy cheese) to hold the pie together. Bake for 8-10 minutes at 425 and enjoy. It's good hot or cold. Most importantly, it is a perfect snack to give you balanced energy.
