When it comes to healthy food options, pizza is probably one of the first meals that get immediately removed from the list.
Thankfully, a health coach is here to share a healthy pizza recipe that will have you rushing to your nearest supermarket!
Brisbane-based health coach and fitness expert, Bec Hardgrave, is here with us again to share a healthy version of another commonly unhealthy food option.
This time, she’s making a high-protein low-calorie version of an all-time favourite – cheesy garlic pizza! Did we mention it has a stuffed cheese crust, too? It’s all goodness in one bite!

- 85g Plain Yopro yoghurt

Roll them into a ball and place them onto a floured surface. Form your pizza base by spreading the dough into a flat circle.
Place the pizza base onto a tray lined with baking paper and sprinkle 40 grams of light mozzarella cheese on the side of the dough. Then fold the edge over to cover the cheese, this will make your stuffed crust.

Spread generous amounts of garlic-infused olive oil and minced garlic on the centre area of the pizza. Sprinkle extra mozzarella cheese and dried oregano on top of the pizza centre and cook them in the oven at 180 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes.
Serve and enjoy this cheesy goodness!
We’re sure many of us here are watching our calories, sugar, and salt intake, but it’s also important to make sure we’re getting enough protein in our diet. Protein plays a key role in keeping our bodies fit and healthy, and watching our protein intake should be part of our daily health maintenance routine.
Protein is more commonly found in meat, poultry, and fish, but there are also other ways of getting more protein into your diet.
Aside from meats, there are also plenty of protein-rich plant foods out there, such as beans, peas, lentils, nuts, and seeds. These are delicious and healthy alternatives, especially for our vegan friends.
If you’re not getting enough protein from whole foods, you can also consider adding a protein powder to your diet. There are many different types of protein powders available, so choose one that fits your dietary needs and preferences.
Speaking of protein powders, you can also try making and drinking protein shakes. Protein shakes are easy to make and they come in a variety of flavours, perfect for whenever you're looking for a quick and easy meal on the go.
Eggs are also a great source of protein. By simply adding them to your breakfast meals, you can easily jumpstart your day and hit your daily protein requirement.
And aside from eggs, there are a number of high-protein condiments that you can add to your meals to boost your protein intake. Some of our favourites are peanut butter, hummus, and tahini.
Anyway, let us know if you end up making this pizza at home… We’re not sure how ‘low calorie’ it actually is, but it looks absolutely delicious.
