Earlier today, I posted a question on Cheap Recipe Blog’s Facebook page, asking people what they would put on a “superfood pizza”.

Thanks to you guys, I got some great ideas and was able to create an extremely delicious pizza (for real!) that I don’t have to feel guilty about eating.

What Is a Superfood Pizza?

Quite simply, a “superfood pizza” is a healthy pizza that is topped with food items that are considered superfoods – or foods that have a high nutrient or phytochemical content. This pizza is topped with the following superfoods:

• Kale
• Spinach
• Roasted garlic
• Tomatoes
• Mushrooms
• Red peppers
• Roasted sweet potato

For cheese, I used Feta, which is a lower calorie choice but also very flavorful so I could use less. The crust is simply a whole wheat pita shell, one of my favorite alternative pizza crust options. All in all, the flavors blended really well together.

Gluten-free, vegetable-based pizza crust: A paleo cauliflower pizza crust would up the healthiness of this pizza even more.

Make It Vegan

This pizza could easily be made vegan by using vegan cheese or leaving cheese off altogether. The sauce and veggies hold their own in terms of flavor.

Fruit-Based Pizzas

Now that I’ve made a veggie-based superfood pizza, I’m beginning to think of ideas for a fruit-based superfood pizza with blueberries, raspberries, strawberries or cherries. Does anyone have any ideas to share?

You did me right one time, lovely readers. Now I want to hear from you again!

To save money, take a trip around your local grocery store salad bar to purchase small amounts of toppings for your pizza. Some items are cheaper at the salad bar as opposed to buying them individually.
