Pizza Dippers

These Healthy Pizza Dippers can be made ahead, frozen, heated or eaten cold, making them the perfect lunch box meal because they are ready to eat. You can also serve them with different dips or as an after-school snack or game day snack. 

There are few things that make teenagers happier than pizza.... And when you have kids, you want to balance giving them treats to make them happy with making sure they eat healthy. These healthy pizza dippers are the best of both worlds- a healthy pizza treat!

Healthier Pizza Recipes

Healthier pizza recipes are hard to come by. So if you're looking for a recipe for lunches, snacks or game day, give these a try! They are even Weight Watchers friendly. My kids have always eaten the same meals that I eat. There are no 'separate meals' in our house. And although they may be Weight Watchers friendly meals, they are simply 'healthy meals" and it's basic, healthy eating. That's also how I grew up - I didn't even realize that many of my Mom's recipes were Weight Watchers recipes. As parents, we want to set them up for success and that includes teaching them healthy eating habits. They also happen to love my Weight Watchers Pizza and it's the same 2 ingredient dough I use in this recipe. And this recipe is 3 WW points per piece on the blue plan!

Pizza Dippers for School Lunch

Pizza Dippers are the perfect healthy school lunch because they are a 'ready to eat school lunch.' And everyone knows that pizza is just as awesome cold as it is hot! And not every kid has access to a microwave. And given the times we're living in now, there may be no microwave access for those that used to have it. And even if there is, some would opt not to use it. Our school recently sent a notification that kids need to have a ready to eat lunch.  The bonus is that you can mix this lunch up with different toppings and dips like ranch, Alfredo, marinara,  buffalo wing or simply pizza sauce- the dip possibilities are endless! I love to pack this lunch with carrot sticks, some fruit and a healthy dessert.

Here are some healthy make-ahead and ready to eat dessert options to pair with this lunch:

Healthy Applesauce & Spinach Brownies

Healthy Banana, Chocolate Chip and Pineapple Muffins

Vegan Fruit & Oat Bars (dairy, nut, gluten, egg and sugar-free)

No Bake Healthy Chocolate Rocky Road Bars  (my daughter's friends were begging her to share this one!)
