Ingredients

Serves = 1

  • 1 Wholemeal/Multi-grain wrap

  • 1 Tbsp tomato paste, no added salt

  • 4 thin slices pumpkin

  • 4 thin slices eggplant

  • 6 thin slices zucchini

  • 1/4 capsicum (any colour), cut into thin strips

  • 6 olives, cut in half

  • 4 cherry tomatoes, cut into quarters

  • Handful of baby spinach

It’s this easy

  • Preheat your sandwich press

  • Cover the wholemeal wrap with the tomato paste

  • Layer the pumpkin, zucchini and eggplant over the wrap. Avoid layering the vegetables too thick, otherwise they won’t cook properly. Scatter strips of capsicum, tomatoes and olives on top

  • Carefully place the wrap onto the bottom plate of the sandwich press. Closing the top carefully and cook for roughly 8 minutes, or until slightly browned and vegetables are cooked through (can be pierced with a fork).

  • Open the sandwich press and tear baby spinach over the top of the pizza and close the lid for another 2 minutes, to wilt the spinach.

  • Carefully remove the pizza from the sandwich press and cut the pizza into 4 pieces. Enjoy!

Tweaks

  • Top the pizza with fresh basil to add extra flavour.

  • Add a sprinkle of cheese with the spinach, or some cooked chicken breast for extra protein.

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.

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.
