27 Best Healthy Pizza Recipes for Guilt-Free Indulgence

For many people, life wouldn’t be the same if they had to give up pizza – but unfortunately, pizza is not usually thought of as being one of the healthiest options, and many people choose to eat it sparingly, if at all.

However, there are options that allow you to enjoy it without worrying about putting on weight – and to prove it, here are 27 healthy pizza recipes you can have a go at making yourself.

1. Best Healthy Pizza – A Couple Cooks

With its special tomato pizza sauce and plenty of veggies on top, this pizza looks irresistible. However, since it has less cheese than regular pizza as well as a thin crust, it packs far fewer calories per slice, meaning you don’t have to feel so guilty every time you eat it. These bloggers estimate it contains only around 96 calories per slice rather than a whopping 300 in a Pizza Hut version – so that’s got to be something worth trying, right?

 

2. 50-Calorie Pizza from Emma’s Goodies

If you think 96 calories per slice sounds good, then this will be even better – because this pizza weighs in at only around 50! Even better, you can have it ready and on the table in only five minutes, making it a quick and convenient meal as well as a healthy one. This recipe also uses low-fat cheese, so you don’t even need to sacrifice the gooey cheesiness that makes regular pizza so delicious.

 

3. Superhealthy Pizza Recipe – BBC Good Food
