Chicken, Feta & Spinach Pizza

You think pizza can’t be part of a healthy nutrition? Don’t be fooled. For a healthy pizza, use a whole-wheat pita bread as foundation, add lots of vegetables, a lean protein (chicken, turkey, shrimps, lentils), and use a low-fat cheese (fat-free mozzarella, light feta, light cheddar). Bon appétit!
