Drooling yet?
I’ve been obsessed with making mini pizzas lately. So much so that I’ve made three this week, eek! But I don't feel the slightest bit bad about it because most of these mini pizzas have been made with super healthy ingredients!
One of the best parts about making mini pizzas is that the portion size is already predetermined, so you don’t have to worry about overdoing it. Load your pizza up with nutritious vegetables and you've got yourself a decent healthy meal. This Greek pizza also features Feta cheese, which is relatively lower in calories and fat compared to other cheeses. And to go along with the Meditteranean vibe, we used a bit of olive oil for the base which is rich in monounsaturated fat (the healthy kind) and antioxidant properties.
Tonight we made a healthy Greek pizza recipe, and I am delighted to say it tasted light and indulgent at the same time. The best part is that you only need a handful of ingredients, and most of them you can easily find at the grocery store.
Here’s how to make these mini Greek pizzas. Enjoy!

Let me know If you try this healthy Greek pizza recipe and what you think! I ended up adding a little bit of sea salt at the end because I felt like it was missing a little something. To add even more veggies, you could try incorporating spinach as well.
Until next time … happy pizza eating!
