If you want to boost the nutritional value of your homemade pizza dough, try swapping out white flour for a whole grain alternative. White flours are refined, meaning that a lot of the nutritional value has been removed. On the other hand, whole wheat flour and almond flour are full of nutrients and will leave you feeling fuller for longer. Here are a few of our favorite flour swaps:

Many (if not all) pizza recipes use cheese as a topping. While delicious, cheese is a calorie-dense food that contains a fair amount of fat. Lighten up by using a good-quality cheese with a lot of flavor, and sprinkling it on lightly.
