Clean Eating Pita Pizzas

We LOVE pizza, but I have come to not enjoy Take-Out Pizza very much as it doesn't seem to set well with me.  So, when I saw this idea, I thought why not, let's try it!  Now we have them at least weekly and sometimes 2 times/week if Matt isn't home.  In fact, lately when we are out, Matthew has wanted pizza for dinner and instead of stopping somewhere to pick one up or buy a frozen one with who knows what ingredients in, we come home and make these.  Not to mention, Matthew LOVES helping top his own individual pizza and the fact that it is a personal pizza is a BONUS!

These are SUPER easy, take very little time and are pretty inexpensive!  In fact the time that you would call and order take-out pizza, you can have these made, eaten and dinner pretty much cleaned up and still be waiting on the pizza.  I hope you enjoy them as much as we do!!

Clean Eating Pita Pizzas

Ingredients:

100% Whole Wheat Mini Pitas (must be whole wheat or whole grain to be considered clean)
Olive or Grape seed oil

Shredded Part Skim Mozzarella Cheese

Natural Pizza Sauce (or pizza sauce with as few ingredients in at; as well as being able to pronouce the ingredients in it)

Add veggies that you love, I usually use fresh peppers and sometimes mushrooms, but you can use what ever you like or just keep them plain, or experiment with sliced chicken, ground turkey etc.  Matthew likes pepperoni on his so he usually gets that - hey, he can have a little fun even though they aren't considered clean.

Directions:

- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.

-  Arrange pitas on a cookie sheet and lightly brush with oil. Top with pizza sauce, veggies and mozzarella. You don't need to overdo the sauce either or it will make the crust very soggy.

-  Bake until cheese is melted (about 5-10 minutes). Enjoy as an appetizer, snack or pair it with a mixed green salad and veggies to make as a meal! 

1 SERVING = 1 Pita Pizza
