When pizza cravings strike, they strike hard! Next time that happens, try these healthy (and easy!) pizza toasts instead of super-processed frozen pizza. The base of the pizza is really up to you: It can be sliced bread, bagels, English muffins, rolls or anything else you have on hand. The toppings can also be customized, if you prefer other veggies instead of broccoli and peppers. This is your pizza creation, so make it your favorite way!
