Pizza cheat!

[shelbyschroepfer 35]

Does anyone have a recipe for a pizza-like cheat option? For post op surgery like past healed. A healthy option to eat pizza, with red sauce? I've seen the veggie packed pesto type options and I can't stand pesto lol but I love my red sauce, I do love a few choice veggies but I gotta have meat on my pizza!!! Thanks!!!

why not eat the real thing? Just a smaller portion. If you are going to eat red sauce and meat, there's not much that's going to healthy that up much. You'd be better off indulging in a small piece and be satisfied with that, than trying to substitute.

Even if I make my own pizza sauce? Being a tomatoes and fresh herbs?! What about turkey pepperoni? Do they even make that!!

Keep the sugar and the salt out of your sauce. Yes they make turkey pepperoni, but again lots of salt. Try Canadian bacon or roasted chicken instead. Use low fat skim mozz. Whole wheat crust if possible, either make your own dough or go crust-less all together.

Yes, they make turkey pepperoni. I've bought the Hormel brand at my local supermarket. I found it in the lunch meat case. It tastes very good.

Friend of mine was sharing a cauliflower based pizza "dough" that apparently is a delicious alternative... Takes on the tastes of what is around it.

I just happen to have a friend post one on FB today, it's a cream cheese base, I have not tried it so can not speak for it but it sounds really good.

I have tried the cauliflower crust and didn't care for it at all, tasted just like cauliflower if anyone has tried the cream cheese crust I would be interested to know how that went.

How do you feel about portabello mushrooms? I make stuffed portabellos using hot Italian Turkey sausage, a little sauteed green pepper and onion, no sugar added Pasta sause and mozzarella. Baked in the oven. I can't wait until I'm far enough along to have them again. Very easy for Portion Control.< /p>

i made the cauliflower crust pizza...it was pretty decent...didn't taste like cauliflower to me and i hate cauliflower.

i'll be adding more spices to the crust next time just to give it a lil more flavor. i used turkey pepperoni and it was wonderous!!!

They sell low carb (6 carbs) tortillas that can used as a crust.
