A Fit 4 Flava original - I love this easy pita pizza recipe. I've got two different pizzas for you here - pepperoni and white pizza - my two FAVORITE! It's quick, scrumptiously delicious and good for you! Remember, a healthy meal should always FIT in with your 4 basics: Budget, Lifestyle, Schedule and, most importantly, FLAVOR!

Before you start - Preheat your oven to about 500 F, the hotter the better, but do not set the oven on broil! If you have a pizza stone - leave it in the oven while the oven heats up. If you don't - no worries! Just bake your pizzas on a baking sheet.

Ingredients

1 whole wheat pita

1/4 cup your favorite marinara/spaghetti sauce

1 oz fat-free or part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded

8 slices of turkey pepperoni

italian seasoning - for garnish

1. Spread marinara sauce on one side of whole wheat pita.

Fit 4 Flava Tips of my Trade

- I modified the ricotta mixture after the video was shot to boost flavor without adding too many more calories or ingredients! I strongly recommend using the recipe version!!!

- If you love to cook like I do, pizza stones are a great addition to your kitchen! You can even bake cookies on them and your cookie bottoms don't get darker and darker with every batch! LOL

- Play around with the toppings - try some crumbled veggie/soy sausage or turkey sausage instead of pepperoni if you prefer sausage pizza. Add green peppers or even broccoli! These are just starting points - the SKY'S THE LIMIT when you create your own pizzas!

- Make it a full meal with a nice mixed green salad!
