Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray (olive oil). Place crust on sheet and top with sauce, mozzarella, beans, sliced red pepper, and scallions.

Nutritional facts per serving (2 slices): 488 calories 28g protein 72g carbohydrates 12g fat (5.4g saturated) 16g fiber Tips for making a healthier pizza: Add flavor- Spice up a jar of pizza sauce by adding herbs like basil, oregano, and rosemary. Choose the right cheese- Instead of mild mozzarella, try asiago, parmesan, or sharp cheddar, which have stronger flavors. Bulk it up- Pile your pizza high with "meaty" vegetables to create a heartier slice. Eggplants, artichokes, mushrooms and zucchini are packed with fiber.
