My daughter LOVES Pizza…so she is always sending me links to low calorie Pizza.  She found this recipe for Zucchini Crusted Pizza and wanted to give it a try.  I was a little skeptical but we ended up really liking the flavor and texture.  In fact, my whole family enjoyed!  Great idea Claire!

You can make this a little more low calorie by reducing the cheese and the marinara sauce.  It will still be very tasty, satisfying and good for your waist line!!

Recipe is under On the Healthy Side at top of page.  ENJOY!

My daughter, Claire, loves Pizza!  She loves all Italian food, but Pizza is her absolute favorite.  She wanted to make a healthier version of this wonderful slice of heaven.

I found a recipe from  The Skinnytaste Cookbook made with Lavash bread and homemade marinara sauce.

This recipe is low cal and tastes great.  My daughter went back to college and made it the next night as well. I posted the recipe from Gina’s website here Lavash Bread Pizza and below as well.   You can find it at the top of this post also.  Enjoy!

  • 2 oz reduced fat shredded mozzarella
  • pinch dried oregano
