   Eggplant

   Eggplants are low in calories but high in nutrients — one eggplant is only 136 calories and is packed with potassium and vitamins C and B6. Make mini pizzas by slicing the eggplant into two inch pieces and baking at 350°F until they are soft. Then, add on tomato sauce and cheese and bake again until the cheese is melted.

   Sweet Potato

   Sweet potatoes make a more substantial pizza crust because they have more starch. Loaded with vitamin A and fiber, they are the perfect healthy swap. Boil and mash the potatoes and spread them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake the crust at 400°F until solidly formed and crispy. Add on your favorite sauce and toppings and bake in the oven for a little longer.

   Try and avoid any deli meats, but if you have to include them on your pizza, here are the top 5 Low Sodium Deli Meats

   Carrot

   

   This may seem a little crazy but carrots are filled with beta-carotene which converts to vitamin A in the body and helps promote eye health. Preheat the oven to 400°F and pulse the carrots in a food processor. Carrots contain a lot of water, so drain out the water and spread the carrots onto a baking sheet. Bake until crispy, add toppings, and bake again until the toppings are heated through.

   Zucchini

   Zucchini has been on the rise as a favorite Italian food substitute. It took the world by storm as pasta, and now it’s trending as the latest pizza crust craze. This low-calorie summer squash is filled with essential vitamins and nutrients for your body. Shred the zucchini and squeeze out any excess moisture with a paper towel. Spread the shredded zucchini on a baking sheet and bake at 450°F until crispy and browned. Add on your favorite toppings, such as Parmesan and prosciutto for extra flavor, and bake again until cooked through.

   Portobello Mushroom

   Very thick in size and texture, Portobello mushrooms make a healthy dash diet pizza option. Simply add mozzarella cheese, chopped tomatoes, and basil on top of a mushroom cap and bake at 350°F until the cheese is soft and melted.
