Whole wheat broccoli cheddar pizza. Made with a thin whole wheat crust and topped with a generous amount of broccoli. This recipe can also be made vegan!
Whole wheat broccoli cheddar pizza. Yes, I said broccoli. On a pizza.
I had a few comments about it. Apparently some find broccoli on a pizza a bit weird? Honestly, I never thought for a second that this wasn’t a good idea. To me, you can’t beat greens on a pizza. I’m also obsessed with roasted broccoli, so why not combine both? Trust me, once you try it, you won’t find it weird at all. It’s the most delicious combination, especially when paired with cheddar, garlic and thyme. Green pizza lovers, you know what I mean! Many of you said you were excited for the recipe, so I’m guessing I’m not the only one who thinks this is a good idea?
Also, in my defense, some of my favorite pizzas do include broccoli. This one for example. So for those questioning my judgement, I’m not the only one!
Plus, I’m all about sneaking in as many greens into my day as I can. I’ve been feeling the beginning of a cold for the last 3 days.
Thankfully, this cold hasn’t developed into an actual, unbearable cold (yet). I think it’s partly due to the fact that I’ve been going crazy on the vegetables, drinking lots of fluids, going to bed early and drinking my warm turmeric ginger milk daily. I also made this delicious spicy peanut soup the other day and it was just what I needed. Comfort food that’s filled with vegetables.
Just like this pizza. If you’re looking for a healthy, yet comforting Friday night dinner, this pizza is just what you need. To me, pizza really isn’t good unless it’s filled with greens… and cheese. This one is also made extra healthy with a whole wheat crust. I’m all about the added fiber! If you want something a little quicker, you could always go for a store-bought crust, but there’s nothing better than homemade if you’ve got the time. The extra 10 minutes of prep time are so worth it!
Basically, you’ve got a high-fiber, vegetable packed pizza that also feels like comfort food. Or at least it does for this veggie-loving dietitian. Maybe I’m biased. Maybe not. Try it for yourself and let me know what you think! If you’re still hesitant, keep in mind that you can always load it with cheddar. Everything is better with cheese. 🙂
And of course, you can make it vegan with vegan cheddar!
