Healthy Pizza Stir Fry Recipe Kid approved Pizza Stir Fry

Pizza is definitely a kid favorite, but not so much a health promoting one. My kids love our alternative, Meatza, but it is messy to make and takes multiple pans. I’m a huge fan of stir-frys and decided that the ingredients of Pizza, minus the processed junk crust would make a great stir fry.

After a few tries, I finally have a recipe that I really like and that the kids seem to love. In fact, I had to make it twice to get a picture because they ate the first batch before I could photograph it. This also make a surprisingly good breakfast, or leftovers can be used in making a pizza omelet, another kid favorite!

    Looks good!  I have absolutely never found nitrite-free pepperoni around here, though.  Is there a brand or link you could share?  

  • Ashley Benson

    Making this tonight!

    Applegate is a great brand and is sold in most health food stores and some grocery stores.  Check their website to see if there  is a store near you that carries it.

    I made this last night and let me just say that it was stupid good! I altered it a bit to fit our taste, but WOWSERS. DH even loved it and he is a hardcore fanatic about having “real” pizza.

    Hi!  Hormel foods has a nitrite-free pepperoni.  It’s been pretty easy for me to find it in my local grocery store.  HTH!  ~Talya
