How to make Veggie Lovers Pizza
Pizza is a family favorite. I love that the whole family can be involved in making this recipe. Our daughters like to slice, and our son loves to build. The vegetables piled on top add a nutritious addition to a well-known comfort food. Eating 1-2 slices of pizza covered in nutrient-dense ingredients will satisfy your hunger much faster than 4-6 slices of traditional pizza without much nutritional value. Also, try some hot honey if you’d like to add a little sweet kick to your pizza. It elevates the flavors of the pizza to another level!

1 pizza / 2 slices per serving
- 1 small thin crust multigrain or gluten-free pizza crust
