Cut calories with homemade pizza

The pizza deal

There's nothing as good as a mouth-watering piece (or two or three) of pizza, is there? They're like little slices of heaven.

Only they're hell on your waistline. A typical pizza is loaded with calories, solid fat, refined grains, and saturated fat.

If Friday night is your traditional weekly take-away night, why not try making a healthier version of pizza at home?

5 Tips to make a healthy homemade pizza

1. Make or buy a thin crust or one that's whole grain.

2. Replace processed meats like salami and ham with delicious veggies. You'll be surprised by how good roast butternut and feta tastes instead!

3. Make your own fresh tomato sauce and toss in tasty onion, garlic, herbs and spices.

4. Reduce the amount of cheese on top, or use less of another type of cheese, like goat's cheese.

5. Get creative with fruits like banana, figs, or pineapple.
