Some of you may know but I recently told everyone I had borderline high cholesterol. Not something I wanted to hear. With that being said and with mouth surgery I recently had, I have decided healthy living is what I want from here on out.
I just downloaded the MyFitnessPal app, which has been going awesome! I’m exercising regularly and counting calories. I am back to eating healthy which is nothing new for me, but somewhere along the way, I quit.
Not this time.
My days have consisted of power oatmeal(recipe soon), Luna Bars, Kashi Cereal, healthy omelets, salads, healthy soups and sandwiches and much more such as this healthy homemade pizza for one!
I love salads and pizza and figured I could throw it all together to make a healthy pizza for one. This spinach and arugula pizza is wonderful, healthy and low in cholesterol not to mention so simple to make. Pair this with 4 ounces of plain Greek yogurt (Fage Total 0% is wonderful) and water, and you have a nutritious lunch or dinner for under 400 calories! Enjoy.
- 1 100% whole wheat tortilla (taco size 100-120 calories)
- 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Ragu Homestyle Pizza Sauce
- ¼ cup low moisture park skim shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup baby spinach and arugula blend
- 1 tablespoon Ken’s Light Options Italian with Romano and Red Pepper
- black pepper to taste
- Heat saute pan over medium heat
- Brush oil on both sides of tortilla
- Place tortilla in pan and brown on both sides (about 2 minutes each side.) Tip: Poke bubbles that may form with a toothpick
- Remove tortilla from pan and reduce heat to low
- Spread pizza sauce on one side of tortilla and evenly top with mozzarella.
- Place back in pan and cover-just until cheese is melted
- Remove from pan to plate. Top with spinach/argula, Ken’s dressing and black pepper.
This sounds pretty good…minus the spinach:) For some reason I just can’t stomach it. I’ve tried over and over again, but it is just too bitter to me! I may make Eli and I a tortilla pizza for lunch today though!
Same as my husband Kelli. He says he feels like he is in a hay field when I eat it, or Spring mix lol
My husband was just told yesterday his cholesterol and he has an appt next week. I plan on googling what is good for him to eat.
No fun Colleen. I was so upset hearing this news although I am all about healthy living now. Check out http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/cholesterol/CL00002 and http://www.webmd.com/cholesterol-management/guide/heart-healthy-diet
