Ethans secret to getting in shape was replacing onion rings with pickled onions.
Lol facts, pickled onion king.
Hell yeah! Pickled Onion FTW
😂
Tru
Actually pickled onions are acidic, which can actually help your body with nutrient absorption
If you can manage to make pizza healthy and still taste good, you can run the world! Love it!
I agree. Making it is much, much healthier than the pizzeria bought. And what's a charm out of it is if you continue to make it, you'll actually get better at it too!
He already runs my kitchen world. So I'd say he's very close to world domination
Sadly texture is garbage
Healthy in this context is quite relative but yeah.
Use vital wheat gluten instead of wheat flour. Tastes 100x better than any frozen pizza if you prepare the dough properly.
I’ve been making pita pizza with Joseph’s oat bran and flax wraps and lavash bread. I’ve literally been having them almost every other day. Under 500 calories. If I’m under on protein, I have a protein shake. So filling too
Edit: if anyone is interested and is using these breads. They’re very thin. Don’t use broil. I set my oven to 475 and check around 5 minutes. And usually pull around 6-8 minute mark. The broiler will not cook the underside and it’ll be soggier and not as sturdy.
Let’s be honest, it’s not that filling
@@gene5237 especially after drinking it for more then 2 months..
Agreed, those wraps are money to load up with toppings!
@@gene5237 I meant the “pizza” and the protein shake combined making it filling. But sometimes the pizza is enough.
@@danieldanielson2324 I know what you meant. To me both aren’t filling at all
Welp now I’m craving pizza for breakfast
Idk don’t know if y’all have already, but a colab between y’all would be epic
@@haydenpointer7082 hard agree!
Hi Lisa!
Fancy seeing you here, just discovered your channel like two days ago. Killer content, just like Ethan
Any pizza with bacon qualifies as breakfast.
As a future dietitian, I love that you presented alternatives that are lower in calories without replacing the bread crust with cauliflower crust! Also, the higher protein pizza is effective because protein helps keep you feeling full for longer, so you'd be more satisfied than just filling yourself up with veggies!
The protein thing is so true. I replace the jam on my morning toast with a boiled egg and the difference it made was such a shock to me that I also added some low-fat yoghurt to my breakfast. I used to graze all morning, but now I can keep going for 5+ hours without thinking about food. It's been easier to keep my teeth plaque free too!
Try chicken dough. Full protein insanity
@@thaliacrafts407 The boiled egg thing is so true. I used to eat pretty heavily between meals and it has conditioned my body to become "hungry" during those hours. I was advised to try eating a boiled egg (with a bit of condiment of my choosing) and it works like magic.
"Getting tired of boiled egg" didn't become a problem when I just stopped being "hungry" in-between meals altogether. Now I'm practicing portion control during mealtime.
@@ayumuchorizo4486 Not good for your cholesterol though
@@CyberMachine thats a muth
This series is essential for people who struggle with being overweight. Eating like this and making substitutions to meals you love is the only way to lose the weight and KEEP it off for life. This is your new way of grocery shopping, this is your new way of thinking when ordering out or at a restaurant.
This 'Healthy but tasty' series has been consistently excellent, thank you!
Freshly washed lettuce makes a great pizza topping imo. Throw a handful on each slice along with some extra protein if you're feelin it and the pizza will fit a lot better into the diet.
Don't think I've ever had pizza without salad (maybe as a kid). It's literally so good.
Romaine lettuce is so tasty
The lettuce nation rises!
The pita pizza has honestly changed my life. Thank you so much for introducing me to it back in the original video, Ethan.
So I have to eat the whole pizza and leave over one slice to make this recipe
Hey, I just want to let you know that YES, the first option of a leftover pizza sandwich is REALLY good. I just tried it as of this writing with two slices of left over homemade pizza and some thinly sliced ham, and it was really good. Like a Croque Monsieur but with tomato sauce rather than béchamel.
@@sinch4044 r/IFoundTheAsshole
I love that you keep throwing out these awesome healthy recipes, but I personally can't get enough of the spicy garlic noodles. I've made some for my mom and she loves them so much. You're a godsend on all the recipes you have been dishing out. Thank you. Stay safe, Ethan.
Everytime i want a healthy-ish pizza, i like to go for a 70~75% hydration pizza dough, tomato sauce as a base, then for the toppings whatever mushrooms i've got, roasted chicken & some blue cheese like fourme d'ambert or roquefort here in France. There are a lot of great combinations that doesn't involve junk food in pizza & it's fun to be creative with it. (sorry if my english isn't perfect)
Nah I think it's perfect!
That sounds amazing 😋
Ethan: What food do you actually like, and how can you incorporate them in healthy ways?
Me, double fisting carrot cake and red velvet cake: Damn good question.
Could try making your own with some extra carrot, but probably not extra velvet. YMMV
@@jameshe uber protein cakes. i love it
I love carrot cake too and there are MANY youtube videos showing how to make it healthier.
For the cake: Replace some of the flour with whey/casein protein powder and use Swerve instead of sugar.
Thanks so much for making this. I'm in the process of permanently re-working my diet to drop some weight, and I was sad thinking about not having the amazing pizzas I'd been doing with my Ooni oven. Going to try the high protein dough and give these a shot. I love the idea of incorporating more protein in the pizza to keep the calories lower while making it more satiating. Really appreciate you showing the macros with your recipes. Makes it WAY easier to log foods when that info is easily available!
Even just a normal pizza in an ooni is far healthier than most pizza you’d get from a delivery place. Just take it easy in the oil and cheese, it’s not that hard hahah
@@swimfan752 yeah less sugars and oil than fast food. cheese probably better for you too and the sauce will definitely have less sugar/salt
just the whole pizza one day and get back on track for the rest of the week.
Up the hydration, make the pie a little smaller, add some thinly sliced lean beef as toppings. If you have an oven that can make proper pizzas I wouldn't be screwing with the dough recipe, stick to 00 flour.
We LOVE the healthy videos and we SO BADLY WANT you to continue with lower calorie recipes!! In a recent video you mentioned that everything has been done already; yet there is NOTHING on youtube that is on the level of your Lower Calorie Series!! Love of all of your videos and thank you so much for how much I've learned from you!
Most FoodTubers will take a bite and comment... I love how you eat half (or all) of it before giving commentary! hahah.. it's great1 Love your content! cheers!
the guy loves food, kinda relatable
@@JafacaksWasTaken absolutely! Never thought I'd enjoy watching someone scarf down food! haha.. but here we are
0:23 lol Gabe couldn't even get through that shot without laughing. So funny.
You are so good at making videos, there so organized, simple, informative, and easy to watch. I’m proud of you.
Thank you for the garlic butter sauce technique on the crust. I was looking at pictures of a local pizzeria's pizzas and their crust had a consistent golden color that looks absolutely delicious. They mentioned a white garlic sauce however I couldn't figure out what they meant. I think this is how they did it, and I will give the garlic butter sauce a try!
Thanks for these ideas! I did something similar. Didn't lose quite as much as you, but I did take off and keep of about 30 lbs. I did a very protein heavy diet, not ignoring other healthy foods, and it worked for me. Some of my favorite go-tos were kufta, chicken (every way imaginable but fried) and a mushroom-spinach-onion-garlic-parmesan concoction.
The pita pizza is so good when you’re in a hard cut. Makes large amounts of canned tuna or 99/1 minced meat actually tasty. Great when you are tired of chicken and white fish
Man that’s not pizza anymore that pita-tuna bread, man
@@Alexcutspie you are complete right
@@haessfau5282, @Alexcutspie sounds good though :)
You are my favorite cook on UA-cam. I don't eat meat for most meals, but you are so good at presenting concepts that I can easily use your techniques with what I like to eat.
OMG, this come at a time when I really wanted to eat healthy pizza. Thank you so much for the recipe. I cannot wait to see you get one million subscribers. You deserve all the love.
This channel is one of my “must watch” channels daily. I have learned SO much. From the videos as well as the comments. I love that we are talking about lowering the calories on pizza and Ethan is enjoying the food so much!!
I highly recommend adding turkey pepperoni if you like pepperoni. The first time you eat it, it can be a little underwhelming while still tasting very good. Over time you start to prefer turkey pepperoni cause of the lack of greese. It's also extremely high in protein
He's exactly right. So many people try to cut fat by punishing themselves with food items that they hate. Because they hate it so much, they end up relapsing and going right back. The trick is to still eat things you enjoy and perhaps just moderate the amounts.
My favourite thing about your videos is how you implement ingredients from various regions all the time. Liban and Zatar is a staple breakfast or snack for us, turning it into a pizza sounds like an interesting idea, gotta give it a try.
"Curl the pizza, and cut the tip"
+Ok, and we eat the tip
"The triangle completes the gap"
Too late, ate the triangle.
I'm really loving this healthy content as of late, keep it up
I've been making quasadillas in the over a lot lately. I use the carb balance Tortillas, Chopped red peppers, spinach, chicken, banana peppers, salsa, lite fat free cheese. Put all that on one half of the Tortilla, fold over, put in the oven at 425F for 12-15 minutes. Serve with a large dollup of Greek yogurt
Thumbs up for that intro alone. Totally made a pita pizza a couple weeks ago completely out of leftover ingredients I had in my kitchen for a healthy-ish lunch. Pita from falafels, spinach dip for the sauce, mushrooms and grated cheese from various dinners, and carnitas from Costco. It was oddly good, considering I used to make them with more "traditional" pizza ingredients before.
I've been using your pinsa dough recipe to make protein pasta, and I think in that context (especially when using a fresh egg) it tastes nearly identical to regular flour pasta while having much higher protein and satiety!
The first pizza is just like a very famous pizza here in brazil, a traditional pizza with toppings of arugula and dried tomato, its incredible
Cool bro tell us more
@@jimbojimbo6873I can’t tell if u r sarcastic or serious
at 1:20 THANK you!!! So happy you kept it real. Who only eats one slice? Like I am sure some people do just stop at one... but those people sure aren't watching this video. I had no idea about your weight loss (congratulations) love your stuff, your videos have got me cooking more than ever (meal prep fro lunches)
LOVE THIS SERIES! I’m currently on a cut and this has been extremely useful because I hate standard rabbit food recommended during cuts. If you could please do a video on low calorie breakfast options and snacks it would very much be appreciated!!
*Ethan changed our all lives with his amazing recipes!*
I’ve been using low carb tortillas as the base. I also make quesadillas with them but I’m going to do it with some pizza sauce, mozzarella and veggies.
A sandwich press works like a magic trick for the first one btw. No diddling about with a frying pan and lid and stuff
Enjoying these recipes a lot!! Changed my lifestyle up a bit to eat healthier and put on more muscle, never want to sacrifice flavor so Keep up the good work!!
>"pizza is bare minimum of 2 slices, but more likely 3 to 4 slice occasion"
>me eating whole large pepperoni pizza alone hmm
The pizza sandwich is genious! I find that sauces can really add calories quickly, so I measure sauce as well, like hot chili sauce and mayonaise🥰
no cap you are one of the most creative cooking bros across literally all of youtube. top percentile in creative awesome food that people can just straight up make at home without any nonsense
I make a tortilla pizza that’s similar to this pita pizza, but it’s thinner and crispier. Just heat up a cast iron skillet on the stove and put the tortilla on it to toast the bottom while you put the toppings on top of the tortilla. Then broil it for a couple of minutes to melt the cheese.
I’ll have to try this pita version sometime too.
I make pizza with these low carb tortillas and it was literally a game changer when it came to my keto diet
I've slowly tried to incorporate jowar and pearl Millet flour in my tortillas. My grandma used to make 100% peral millet rotis when I was a kid. But I'm too weak for it now. So when making pizza or anything I do 20% 80% or 40% 60% pearl to wheat ratio.
I'm surprised I missed this episode! Thanks, as always, for new tips and tricks to try out!
I like your approach of finding healthier ways to make food you already enjoy. Brilliant!
AMAZING DUDE! THANKS 4 THE IDEAS 😍
I’d love to see the science behind prepping ingredients ahead of time. I work a weird schedule & my lady works 70+ hour weeks. So cooking falls on me. She isn’t a fan of meal prep/leftovers, she prefers her food freshly cooked. But I would like to prep some ingredients ahead of time, so I can knock out different recipes, but I have no idea how long they’ll stay fresh for or anything like that.
The Pro Home Cooks channel has a lot of tips going that way, pantry organizing, how to prepare some stuff ahead of time to save time for what is actually better fresh, and so on. Worth checking it out
@@Grilnid dope! I’ll definitely have to scope it out, thanks!
Man I have said this many times before but Man you absolutely nail the daily needs of a regular person who doesn't have all the time and expertise and with limited ingredients which can be found in any country and also the diversity I haven't seen any other mainstream western Food UA-camr nail Indian food like you have so cheers man from India, your diet foods have been a huge help getting in shape by the time for my cousin's wedding last time around and then keeping it off.
You have such an amazing food channel. Thank you for all the tips and everything you do. Keep being you!!!!
I've been on keto for the last year and a half but have eaten pizza every week. I make the crust with 50% keto flour/ 50% King Arthur Pizza '00' flour and only eat two small pieces. This video is super helpful to change things up a bit. The leftover pizza sandwich is actually genius. The King Arthur keto flour definitely can absorb more water than regular flour so I find that I change the amount of water depending on the humidity etc. The crust really tastes like regular pizza and my family basically adopted it without any complaints which is one of the main challenges when being cooking on a diet.
where do you find keto flour? What is it?
Think of all the flavour and spices trapped in that moustache
Ethan seriously this series is gold please do not stop!
Loving these hilarious skits you throw in with your fam. 😂 Early Gratz on 1M subs, can’t wait to see it!
What!? How in the heck did I not know about his weight loss before watching THIS video, today? Wow... I NEVER would've known. I know that I'm almost a year late to this video, but good for YOU man!! 👍🏽👍🏽
Love the content. This video was right on time for me, I was actually planning on making my own dough and NY style with a stone, so this is perfect. I lost 100 lbs about 14 years ago, but I have been Intermittent fasting since 2009, so making my own large pizzas for dinner sounds like a perfect plan 👍
I love whole grain English muffin pizzas. I use low fat cheese with lots of veggies and turkey pepperoni. Super easy and tasty.
Thanks, Ethan. Trying to eat healthier. You always deliver. Sending love from South Africa 🇿🇦
As a Swede, thanks for schooling the rest of the world of the power and awesomeness of fresh toppings. I love pizza but I can't imagine eating any without something fresh to cut through all the grease or savouriness. Good video as always Ethan, you are a huge inspiration for wanting to become more healthy.
As I learned how to cook from scratch my favourite pizza, I manage to be able to eat -a lot of pizza lol- every other weekend and stay in shape, maintaining my ideal weight, reaching my daily protein intake no problem, and even more when I have a high intensity week ahead... pizza it's just amazing how versatile it is and how easy is to fit it into a nutritional program, and I'm very strict with my food intake.
My secret is giving the dough at least 12 hours of fermentation, or 24 if you can so you can make it really thin, that way you eat less carbs. Then choose high protein toppings like meat or chicken. Use an italian passata as sauce, wich is pure tomato (very low calorie) and then going easy on the cheese, wich is hard but can be done 🤣if you can find a low fat cheese, even better. That way you can have a nice traditional pizza without the extra calories.
Great subs, look forward to trying these! Thanks as always
My thought process is. There are no bad food, (unless it has rat poison or something else), just some foods that you have to eat smaller amounts of.
And/or complement with other stuff so you get all the nutrients you need.
All through out my student years I like once a month took a day in the weekend and made a big batch of homemade pizza.
Homemade sauce, homemade dough.
Baked and froze in slices, that I reheated using the reheating in pan method shown in the video.
I sometimes use that method on freshly delivered pizza, just because it makes for such a great crust.
I wasn’t on a diet, but I wanted to make pizza that felt a little brighter and lighting in terms of flavours.
So I went pretty minimal on the cheese, just small bits of fresh mozzarella, and a little dusting of Parmesan. Nowhere close to covering the whole pizza.
It became a quick and easy meal, once in a while when I didn’t have time to cook anything from scratch.
And I added a lot of vegetables as toppings.
Also when I was just making random experiments with toppings, beans was surprisingly nice. Like some boiled kidney or soy beans (the yellow not edamame). Not a whole lot, just a few here and there.
It balanced out the cheese, and worked great with my pretty flavour packed sauce. Never thought beans could make a pizza feel brighter in terms of flavours
So beans and then topped with some fresh veggies. A pretty weird pizza, but surprisingly nice.
Hell yeah dude! Thanks for making this video. I'm down 40 lbs since Sept, and still eating pizza, burgers, chicken sandwiches, burritos, sushi, etc. Losing weight doesn't HAVE TO mean subscribing to some fad diet you hate (and will eventually relapse from). Appreciate the insights and will definitely make that dough soon!
the way ethan enjoys his own food is usually one of the best parts of his videos lmao
Great ideas and video, Ethan. Thanks!
Love these videos man. Keep up the healthy recipes!
Ethan. I am both heart broken as well as excited to see that you have tweaked the recipe. After multiple trips to multiple grocery stores, two weeks of shipping delays and finally receiving the various other flours needed for the previous rendition of the Pinsa, I made the dish and my dough did not rise great. Still was happy for the first try, but now I feel the absolute urge to get this new flour and try out this as well.
OMG one slice of NY pizza is the size of a full large pizza in the UK
almost a million man Great job!
I like making frozen pizza in my air frier. When i first bring it home frozen, I slice it into individual pieces and stack it to store in my freezer. I used to eat wayy too much when I'd cook the whole thing in my oven, but now I can make a slice when i want it, and it's actually so much better air fried vs baked in a regular oven. Asd a side salad, soo good!
Thank you for the ideas. Technique 2 if you had lamb meatballs would be even more awesome with some mint sauce added to the yoghurt.
I havent even watched the video but in the past week I've been making pizzas from scratch (never made before) and since early January ive been eating more consciously and have kept off nearly 14lbs.... I don't think I've gained any weight since my recent pizza making fad hahaha
Wow, I am gg to try these soon!
And big thanks for baking again to record!
My son and I make our own pizza dough and slow roast tomatoes, garlic and red onions in olive oil, balsamic vinegar and salt for our sauce….we find that if we have good quality ingredients, use pecorino in place of the cheese and lather our pizza in pecorino, we don’t miss the melty cheese and it definitely scratches the pizza itch. We end up having a healthier pizza…..or so we have made ourselves believe 😆
I love your videos Ethan!
I use Joseph's lavash bread to make a flatbread "pizza" almost every weekend. You can make two huge flatbreads for maybe 600 calories. Really makes dieting easier.
that bread is full of crap that will destroy your digestive system, your intestines don't like soluble corn fiber and soybean oil. But I guess. that's what dieting is now, just put fake food in your body so it goes right through you.
@@kenm2709 It’s literally just a really thin flatbread. No different than any other bread. It’s just flour, water, and oil. I hate how people like you make up dumb shit and falsely criticize everything.
Say all you want about 2011 Ethan, but he definitely seems like the guy who knows how to lift your spirits after a bad day ❤
Super happy to see an update to the pinsa! Super hard to find the soy flour originally recommended
I can vouch for the pita pizza! Extremely good alternative to take out, in fact I'm just about to go and make one myself right now.
Unpopular opinion: pizza with a conservative amount of cheese is much better than pizza with a lot of cheese
I love you always upload right after I wake up in the morning
WOW! I am loving these recipes! I am on a very limited diet due to several health issues and after watching this video i'm subscribing!
My parents and I do something similar to the pita pizza you do, except with a flat bread and its nice to use to make a small pizza during the weekdays and you don't want to wait a few hours for the dough
I LOVE the number of pizza recipes you have
I love doing pita pizza with ham, cheese, tomato, oregano and olive oil and once you heat it up it's soooo good
please keep doing these you're the goat and only youtube who gets dieting and eating delicious with easy recipes
0:19 Coming up on nine weeks in calorie-deficit dieting for fat loss, just had myself half a slice of pizza. Tasted great, didn't blow my calorie budget. Just gotta be smart about it. Still, half a slice of pizza being 155 calories wasn't cool. Can't wait to see what you show us.
Im so glad I found youe channel dude.
I cant wait to start making some of your stuff.
My guy here just appealed to my Palestinian side so strong with that second pizza... thank you, bro! I actually love how well cultured you are in your videos. Love to see it!
I always try and get thin crust multi grain pizza but next time it will be a small one and I’ll add my own protein and tons of veggies! Thanks for this.
Big fan of doing cauliflower crusts for pizza instead of dough as a healthier alternative. Seen them in some supermarkets which makes it way easier to do that than making some dough from scratch.
Wow 🤩 Can’t wait to try option three.
Love this stuff! I wish I was ever home long enough to make that protein dough but it’s such a rare occasion! Next time I’m home all day though, I’m grabbing me some instant yeast and protein flour!
Nice, i already make similar interesting things from leftover food items that you wouldn't think to put together.
And you also taught me more to add to my arsenal of healthy meals.
Another great video brother. Been watching since you had 60k subs. Keep it up!
Gonna try the 3rd one!
I've made the pita pizza many times before. I would suggest opening the pita and sliding a few slices of cheese in there for an added layer of yum!
Came across a pizza recipe where the base is made of wholemeal flour (brown bread)
and Greek yogurt, with just a pinch of salt. The tomato sauce had some spices and a dash of cheese. Added some peppers and pepperoni on top so I don't know if that helped health wise, but other than that I felt great the next day compared to other take aways.
Might just be me, and I don't know the numbers for it, but hopefully this will come in handy for someone.
Every time I see your notification of your video my happy time begins, I am so exited to watch till the end.
