Recipe Description: 

Sometimes it's difficult to get kids to eat their vegetables but everyone loves pizza. This pizza is the perfect way to "hide" the nutritional benefits of beta carotene, vitamin A, vitamin C and fiber in the sauce. Shred carrots or broccoli into the sauce and the kids will never know they're actually eating their vegetables!

  • Substitute or add grated broccoli to the sauce.
  • If your kids will eat other vegetables such as mushrooms, tomatoes, zucchini or squash, chop and put on top of pizza sauce before cooking.
  • You can double the sauce recipe and freeze for later.
  • If the kids are involved with growing vegetables or herbs they are more likely to eat those foods.
