![]() ![]() I toss a few handfuls of grape tomatoes in a little bit of olive oil and roast in a pre-heated 425° oven. Excess juices from the vegetables can be a problem so rather than slice and drain tomatoes I par-roast grape tomatoes. When I need sauce I simply pull a packet out of the freezer and keep on going. I purchase small jars of already prepared pizza sauce and freeze what is not used in portions of 2 or 3 teaspoons wrapped in plastic. Go easy on the cheese as when it melts it spreads. We love grilled vegetables on ours, however, between the cheese, vegetables and any other toppings one must be a bit light handed or your top-heavy pizza will totally fall apart. For cheese I use a variety such as part-skim mozzarella, goat cheese, feta and even brie depending on how bad I want to be. In order for the flat breads to crisp up and hold their shape they need to be toasted for a few minutes without any toppings…just plain on a baking sheet. I love them because they so satisfy that pizza craving when I’m watching my weight, and I always am, but even more so when I’m losing weight which I happen to be doing as.we.speak. You can make these flatbread pizzas as healthful or as decadent as you want. ![]() For those nights when you ask yourself, “Didn’t I feed them LAST night? My gosh, when does this end?”, this is the go-to solution. These days we have Flatout brand flat bread pizzas and, boy, are they great! Flatouts are perfect for those days when you’ve reached your limit you’re done with dinner. If I choose to have pepperoni, it is ALWAYS turkey pepperoni. They still skip meat on Fridays but I hardly ever make pizza dough anymore and when we do have pizza I top it with part-skim mozzarella and grilled vegetables. My boy, James, and husband, Jimmy, ate no meat on Fridays so as to receive communion at church on Sunday. In days gone by I made homemade pizza dough every Friday night topped with fresh mozzarella. This will satestify your hunger for something sweet and also get your fruits in too, children will enjoy it too.I’m going to be honest from the get-go. Thats outstanding it’s a little hard to eat because crispy Cinnamon Flatout base, but it’s so good and very filling too. One complete Flatout Fruit Pizza is only 4 Smart Points if you only put 2 tbsp of spread onto fruit pizza. I always have a few bananas, oranges and even sometimes kiwi around to add extra colors and textures, and to make this an artistic edible creation. The berries are fresh and in season, red raspberries, blackberries, strawberries is a perfect seasonal choice. Fruit is most important point in pizza, with the right fruit in season makes all the difference. Oh my God it was crispy and tasty you could eat this all by it’s self. Then by spraying the Flatout with canola oil spray lightly and baking in in 350☏ oven for 5 to 6 minutes turned out crispy. To solve this by mixing 1/2 tsp Truvia Baking Blend with 1/8 tsp of cinnamon together as a cinnamon low- sugar to sprinkle on top of Flatout. Remembering the original recipe just put spread directly onto the Flatout, thats simple but lacked a good crunchy texture. The next choice is picking out the right Flatout wraps, I picked the original Flatout which has good protein, lots of higher fiber and is only 2 Smart Points. By adding the right sweetener, some lemon zest and good vanilla extract came up with a total winner. These two combinations works very well and if used sparingly will keep the Smart Points down low enough. So my choice is greek yogurt, I used Chobani Simply 100 Vanilla blended Greek non fat yogurt and low-fat cream cheese. The spread that goes onto pizza needs depth, and have a good mouth feel on your palate. I have tried many different sweeteners, finding that aspartame is inexpensive, and works well for most as general sweetening that is not going to be cooked. So finding a alternate sweetener that tastes good, boost flavor is the key to success. This is not an easy task, the original recipe used honey which has extra points. So with some modifications to recipe add more fruit to enjoy, find the right spread with fewer Smart Points was my goal. This sounded great, what a wonderful concept, but could I even get those Smart Points down even more and enjoy more fruit. Inspired by the Weight Watchers weekly pamphlet that featured a Fruit Pizza using Flatout wraps. So Fruit Pizza Flatout with only 4 Smart Points will be totally satisfying that dessert urge. The biggest problem is the cookie dough crust which is very tummy friendly but Smart Points add up way to quickly. Fruit pizza is one of my all time favorite for spring and summer time desserts, it’s family friendly and can use so many of the fresh fruits available. ![]()
