Lightened Up Pizza using Greek Yogurt
Pizza is just one of those comfort foods that will always hold a special place in your heart. With this simple and healthy recipe, it will leave you wondering why you ever ordered delivery!
When I think about my Top 5 foods, Pizza is definitely on that list. I would even eat it cold for breakfast some days. There are so many different ways one can make a pizza, you can either load it up with all the best greasy comfort toppings you can dream of or you can make a healthy alternative and it will still be delicious. Eating a more balanced meal nowadays and watching what my body needs instead of what it wants has changed my lifestyle tremendously. I am down 30 Ibs all because I am more aware of what I am putting inside my body each day.
Cutting out your favorite foods does not have to be a dread if you can tweak the recipe and make it your own healthy creation. This lightened-up pizza recipe is exactly that! My fiance introduced me to the idea of “2 ingredient dough” which is just greek yogurt and self-rising flour and I just took that base and figured out how to make it a little more complex.

1 cup flour
1 cup nonfat or low-fat Greek Yogurt
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
dash of garlic powder
dash of onion powder
1/2 lemon zest
