Hungry Girl Today: 8.27.09
Take notes, humans! A ton of pizza-related info is about to hit your eye like a
big... well, you know. Enjoy and EAT THINGS!
DIY Pizza 101
Time to get schooled in the ways of guilt-free pizza. Check out our must-
haves for making your own...
Arnold Select/Oroweat Sandwich Thins
PER SERVING (1 roll): 100 calories, 1g fat, 210 - 230mg sodium, 22 - 23g
carbs, 5g fiber, 2g sugars, 4g protein -- POINTS® value 1*
When it comes to guilt-free pizza bottoms, English muffins have some serious
competition now. These Sandwich Thins (as well as the super-similar
Pepperidge Farm Deli Flats) are perfect for pizzas-for-one... 'cuz once you
split 'em in half, you get TWO crusts, with only 50 calories each! Just pop the
halves under the broiler to get them nice and crispy. P.S. An honorable
mention goes out to our other favorite broil-to-crisp "pizza crust": La Tortilla
Factory Smart & Delicious Low Carb High Fiber Large Tortillas (or your guilt-
free tortilla of choice).
Pillsbury Classic Pizza Crust Dough
PER SERVING (1/6th of the package): 160 calories, 2g fat, 470mg sodium,
31g carbs, 1g fiber, 4g sugars, 5g protein -- POINTS® value 3*
This refrigerated pizza crust dough in a can RULES. It is PERFECT for making
no-guilt pizza for a crowd. And even though it says it makes 6 servings, if
you roll it out a little thinner, you can easily get 8 sizable servings out of it.
(If you're wondering why we don't just use the Thin Crust version Pillsbury
makes, it's because it has twice as much fat as the Classic.) Try it out in our
Just Veggin' Pizza!
Lifetime Fat Free Mozzarella (Block Form)
PER SERVING (1 oz., one 1-inch cube): 40 calories, 0g fat, 220mg sodium,
1g carbs, 0g fiber, 1g sugars, 8g protein -- POINTS® value 1*
Yup, the stuff that comes in a block. Don't give us that look, Lazy! It actually
melts BETTER than the pre-shredded stuff. (FYI, this cheese has no relation
to the lady-oriented television network of the same name.) Get clickin' here
to see where it's sold, or head here to find out how to order.
Sargento Light String Cheese
PER SERVING (1 piece): 50 calories, 2.5g fat, 180mg sodium, 1g carbs, 0g
fiber, 0g sugars, 6g protein -- POINTS® value 1*
What's easier than pulling out the cheese grater? Ripping the cheese apart
with your bare hands. Sounds brutal, but it's just string cheese! Sargento's
version is great and WAY low in calories. PLUS it's pre-portioned and the
perfect amount for a personal-sized snack. Just tear it into shreds and
roughly chop. P.S. There are many other brands offering light string cheese
with similar stats.
Progresso Crushed Tomatoes
PER SERVING (1/4 cup): 20 calories, 0g fat, 95mg sodium, 4g carbs, 1g
fiber, 2g sugars, 1g protein -- POINTS® value 0*
Since we know SO many people out there are watching their sodium intake,
we're giving these canned crushed tomatoes a shout-out. This puree-like
stuff tastes way less "canny" than standard tomato sauce. Just doctor it up to
your liking (some garlic and Italian seasoning do the job nicely), and use it
instead of sauce for your next at-home pizza. You can also find some fun
flavored varieties out there, like fire-roasted, Italian-style, roasted garlic,
and sweet basil. Sweet indeed...
Hormel Turkey Pepperoni
PER SERVING (17 slices): 70 calories, 4g fat, 640mg sodium, 0g carbs, 0g
fiber, 0g sugars, 9g protein -- POINTS® value 2*
Check out that portion size, people... 17 slices! WHOA! There's no end to the
number of fun things you can do with this lean pepperoni, but putting it on
guilt-free pizza tops our list.
Morningstar Farms Meal Starters Grillers Recipe Crumbles
PER SERVING (2/3 cup): 80 calories, 2.5g fat, 230mg sodium, 5g carbs, 3g
fiber, <1g sugars, 10g protein -- POINTS® value 1*
We use these more than the Boca Meatless Ground Crumbles because
they're easier to find in our area, but the stats are practically the same and
we love 'em both. Load up your homemade pizza with a handful of these for
a meaty-tasting topper. And if you can get your pizza-loving paws on the
Sausage Style version, DO IT!
Extra, Extra!
These items are super-easy (and super-delicious) guilt-free add-ons. Keep
your favorites on hand: jarred roasted red peppers, jarred jalapenos,
canned mushrooms, reduced-fat Parmesan-style grated topping, canned
sliced black olives, etc. Or just get crazy with whatever's in your fridge or
pantry. And if you have the time to slice and dice, fresh veggies ROCK as
pizza toppings.
