Every now and then you have to splurge a little right? When I splurge I always have nutrition in the back of my mind; "Are there some kind of vegetables included?" "How much protein is there?" "Good fats or bad?" So even though pizza is a comfort food, I like to stay a little more on the healthy side. Instead of pepperonis covering the entire pizza, I go for a little chicken or turkey. Whole dough, if possible. Yes cheese, but not pounds of it!
This pizza was covered in toppings! Even though every piece was under 400 calories, the toppings really filled me up so I didn't need more than two slices. (I budgeted my calories throughout the day knowing I was going to splurge.)
Enjoy your southwestern style pizza!!
