Pizza is the ultimate fast food. But, in most cases, it’s also the ultimate fat food. You can make a healthier version using the ingredients listed here in the time it takes you to order a regular pizza and pick it up. Now that’s Eat-Clean fast food!

2 whole wheat English muffins, split

1 clove garlic, whole and peeled

4 Tbsp (60 ml) Yogurt Cheese

½ baby zucchini, thinly sliced into half-moons

1 medium tomato, thinly sliced

2 Tbsp (30 ml) thinly sliced red onion

Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

2 tsp (10 ml) extra virgin olive oil

4 tsp (20 ml) vegan nutritional yeast

Place oven rack in the second-highest position and heat broiler. Place English muffin halves on a baking sheet, cut side up, and broil until lightly brown and crispy, 1 or 2 minutes. Remove and rub garlic clove over tops of English muffin halves.

Spread 1 Tbsp (15 ml) Yogurt Cheese over each muffin. Divide zucchini among muffins, and then top with tomato slices and red onion. Season with salt and pepper.

Place pizzas under broiler until warmed through and onions are lightly browned, 3 or 4 minutes. Remove from oven, drizzle each pizza with ½ tsp (2.5 ml) olive oil and top with nutritional yeast.

MAKE AHEAD

Can be prepared ahead of time and stored in an airtight container or wrapped in foil for lunch or a snack the following day.
