Mini Zucchini Pizzas!  A healthier version of a pizza bagel bite.

Ingredients:

  • Zucchini (I used just one and it fed two of us)
  • Part skim mozzarella
  • Spinach
  • Turkey Pepperoni
  • No Salt Tomato Sauce
Cut the zucchini into thin slices, then add on top tomato sauce, spinach, cheese, and pepperoni.  Bake in the oven at 350 degrees for about 8 minutes or so.  And there you go!

If you want a crunchier zucchini, I’d grill it first, then add everything.  I’ll probably try that next time.

 
Ingredients:
  • I used El Paso Standing Shells.  They are made with wheat, and don’t have any preservatives.  I put 6 in the oven for 4 minutes at 325 degrees.
  • I used ground turkey meat instead of ground beef, turkey meat is a lot leaner.  I also used a little bit of taco seasoning, just stir in after the meat is cooked.
  • I used no fat shredded cheese from Kraft, and a little bit of Athenos Feta.
  • Organic Spinach


Altogether, for 2 tacos, this is what’s in it:
  • 306 Calories
  • 21 Carbs
  • 12 Fat
  • 1 Sugar
So, it’s not too bad.  Especially not compared to regular tacos from, say, Taco Casa, which are 530 calories, 34 grams of fat, and 26 carbs.
