# Healthy Yogurt Pizzas This Artisan Pizza Recipe Subs in Yogurt For Added Nutritional Benefits By M | Published 2015-08-18 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pizza-recipe References: [food52](http://food52.com/blog/13790-why-you-should-put-yogurt-on-your-pizza) & [food52](http://food52.com/) While it is only natural to envision a pizza with a thick tomato sauce, this healthier version adapted by Food52 opens up pizzas to a new world of toppings, including greek yogurt. The substitute not only boasts a great taste, but is packed with healthy benefits that are great for your body. This pizza all comes down to creating a delicious [white sauce](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/donatos-pizza-creamy-parm-sauce). The sauce is made from greek yogurt folded into ricotta and spread on the dough like a traditional tomato sauce would be. On top [cherry tomatoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tomato-veggie-pizza) are added along with a few leaves of basil for that much needed kick of freshness. You can also add grated parmesan cheese if so desired. Switching up traditionally heavy ingredients with lighter and healthier alternatives is an ideal example of how consumers are becoming more adventurous with customizing their favorite recipes to suit their lifestyles and dietary restrictions. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.4/10 - Popularity: 19% | Activity: 15% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Healthier Pizza Recipes:** Exploring alternative ingredients and techniques for making pizza healthier and more nutritious. - **Customizing Recipes:** Consumers are increasingly customizing their favorite recipes to align with their lifestyles and dietary restrictions. - **Substituting Heavy Ingredients:** Swapping out heavy ingredients with lighter and healthier alternatives to enhance the nutritional value of dishes. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food and Beverage:** Companies in the food and beverage industry can develop and market healthier pizza options that incorporate alternative ingredients. - **Dietary Supplements:** The dietary supplements industry can explore opportunities to create yogurt-based products that offer added nutritional benefits for pizza lovers. - **Recipe Customization Services:** Platforms and services that help consumers customize their recipes based on their dietary preferences can thrive as more people seek personalized cooking experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Two-Ingredient Crust Frozen Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yough-pizza.md) - [Gluten-Free White Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gluten-free-white-pizza.md) - [Protein-Rich Frozen Cauliflower Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/healthy-choice-flatbread-pizzas.md) - [Frozen Cottage Cheese Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tattooed-chef-cottage-cheese-crust.md) - [Satisfying Protein-Packed Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blaze-pizza-proteinzza.md) - [Green Tea Pizza Doughs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pizza-maru.md) - [Delicious Tomato Veggie Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tomato-veggie-pizza.md) - [Greek Frozen Yogurt Pints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/greek-frozen-yogurt-pints.md) - [High-Protein Pizza Crusts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyprotein-dough.md)
