Alternative Gear

Ingredients

Serves = 4

For the hummus base:

  • 200g tub hummus
  • 1 Tbsp tomato paste (no added salt)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/4 cup nutritional yeast (optional, but adds cheesy flavour)

For the pizza:

  • 2 wholemeal Lebanese wraps
  • 1 eggplant
  • 1 zucchini
  • 1 red capsicum
  • 1 tsp EVOO
  • 1/2 bunch basil, leaves picked
  • 1/3 cup kalamata olives, pitted
  • 1/3 cup marinated artichoke hearts

It’s this easy

  • Preheat oven to 220°C
  • To make the hummus base, mix the hummus, tomato paste, minced garlic and dried oregano together
  • Slice the eggplant and zucchini into thin rounds. Remove seeds and pith from capsicum and slice into thin strips
  • Place a large frying pan on high heat and add olive oil. Fry the sliced vegetables for approximately 2 minutes on either side, or until browned, then set aside
  • To assemble the pizza, place Lebanese bread on a baking tray, one per tray to avoid over-crowding
  • Divide the hummus in half and evenly spread over each piece of the Lebanese bread
  • Divide the grilled vegetables, olives and artichokes between the two pieces of Lebanese bread, and add 1/4 of the basil leaves to each pizza
  • Bake in your preheated oven for 10-12 minutes
  • Carefully remove from oven, and top with fresh basil leaves. Cut into slices and enjoy!
  • (Optional) sprinkle on some nutritional yeast at the end to add an umami flavour

Tweaks

  • Make into a quick snack on a sandwich press by halving the toppings and folding the wrap over in the middle!

What is healthy eating?

Eating healthy is making sure you enjoy a wide variety of foods from each of the five major food groups daily, in the amounts recommended. The five major food groups as recommended by the Australian Guide to Healthy Eating are:

  1. vegetables and legumes/bean
  2. fruit
  3. lean meats and poultry, fish, eggs, tofu, nuts and seeds, legumes/beans
  4. grain (cereal) foods, mostly wholegrain and/or high cereal fibre varieties
  5. milk, yoghurt, cheese and/or alternatives, mostly reduced fat.

Foods are grouped together because they provide similar amounts of key nutrients and eating a variety of foods from the list above helps to promote good health and reduce the risk of disease.

How do I improve my diet?

If you want to improve your diet you have come to the right place. By completing the Healthy Eating Quiz you’ll receive instant personalised feedback and a report on your diet quality to highlight any areas where you can improve your overall eating habits. Your score is based on the frequency and variety of the foods consumed from the five major food groups mentioned above.

Is my diet healthy?

Dietary habits are different between people. Some people choose to follow a particular diet (i.e., Keto diet or vegan diet) while some have to make changes due to certain food restrictions or health conditions. If you want to know if what you usually eat is healthy, then do the Healthy Eating Quiz today to give you the answers in less than 10 minutes.

Why is healthy eating important?

Your HEQ score and personalised feedback report is based on the frequency and variety of healthy core foods you usually eat. This is important because no single food contains all the nutrients we need to stay healthy. Some foods are higher in nutrients than others and people who have a lot of variety in the foods they eat are more likely to be healthy and to stay healthy. In other words, if you can eat a large variety of vegetables as opposed to only 2-3 types of vegetables, the benefits are much greater. This type of diet also helps you to feel better, think better and perform better during your usual daily activities.
