Sione’s Pepperoni Pita Pizza

The Biggest Loser Season 7’s Sione Fa says of this delicious mini-pizza, “We are a pizza family, and my kids can’t even tell the difference with this healthier version. The kids make their own pizzas. Not only do they love doing it, but my wife and I love it that we now eat healthy as a family and still enjoy our favorite foods.”

Recipe:
1/8 cup low-fat marinara or tomato-basil sauce
1 medium whole grain pita (about 5" diameter)
1/8 cup shredded fat-free or low-fat mozzarella cheese (see note)
8 slices (½ ounce total) lean turkey pepperoni
Fresh basil

Spread the sauce on top of the pita. Sprinkle the cheese over the sauce. Distribute the pepperoni slices on top of the pizza. Bake in a toaster oven until the cheese has melted. Garnish with fresh basil. Note: Using low-fat mozzarella cheese will increase the calories to 200 and the grams of fat to 6.
