Pizza on a Diet? No problem! Pizza can be healthy with the right ingredients.

Here are three ideas:

* Season with herbs for an easy way to add a boost of flavor without adding fat. Try fresh and dried herbs like parsley, basil, and oregano.

* Grill or roast vegetables as a topping. Vegetables are a healthier alternative to the fatty cuts of meat usually found on pizza dishes, such as pepperoni and sausage. Moreover, vegetables are a healthier choice because they are an excellent source of vitamins and disease-fighting antioxidants. Try topping your pizza with zucchini, red peppers, mushrooms, and spinach. Enjoy lean protein toppings as well as veggies. Go for Canadian bacon, turkey sausage, grilled chicken, shrimp, or tofu, for example, to add flavor to your pizza.

* Choose white whole-wheat flour to make pizza dough. Most pizzerias use white flour to make the pizza crust, but with white whole-wheat flour, you get the added health benefits, like fiber, protein, and iron. And unlike regular whole-wheat flour, white whole-wheat flour tastes less bitter and will help you achieve a softer, smoother texture.
