1. Oaty Breakfast Pizza
This gorgeous option will make you forget all about regular old flapjacks. You can’t go wrong with bananas, which are naturally low in fat and cholesterol. Paired with blueberries and raspberries, the fruit complements the fluffy pancake beneath. Finish off your dish with a drizzle of something sweet. (May we recommend peanut butter or maple syrup?)

2. Farmers Market Vegetable Breakfast Pizza
Thanks to a large helping of zucchini, squash, kale and onions, the farmers market pie here is so veggie-packed, it’s almost at salad status. What takes it to the next level?

7. Red Pepper and Baked Egg Gallete
This mini pizza (technically dubbed a “gallete”) is the perfect ration for one — talk about built-in portion control!

This recipe may not taste like your typical ‘za, but it’s still got the same delicious spirit.

Whip up the mini crust during the weekend and build with toppings all week long. Photo and recipe: Bethany and Rachel / Athletic Avocado
9. Breakfast Pizza with Avocado and Asparagus
Got leftover vegetables in the fridge? Throw them on this pizza. Not many recipes can make eating your greens in the morning look this good. Get your veggie fix early with avocado and asparagus next to eggs, tomatoes and bacon. Photo and recipe: Brita Britnell / B Britnell
10. Smoked Salmon Breakfast Pizza
Skip the boring bagel and opt for this creative meal instead. Salmon delivers a dose of protein — a whopping 11 grams per serving — while avocado delivers good-for-you fats. A delicious cream cheese spread and a sprinkling of arugula ties all the flavors together. Pass on the mozzarella cheese and use whole wheat pizza if you’re not looking to indulge.

11. Paleo Breakfast Pizza
The paleo crust is what sets this breakfast pizza apart from the rest. But the trick to the “dough” isn’t just the ingredients (a combination of tapioca and coconut flour along with ground flaxseed and palm shortening.) It’s all about rolling it all out to the right thickness. Don’t go thinner than a third of an inch here. Topped with fresh ground beef, chorizo, bacon and an egg, this protein-packed meal will fuel you through your day. Photo and recipe: Lexi Kornblum / Lexi’s Clean Kitchen

12. Blackberry Ricotta Pizza With Basil
Say hello to the perfect combination of salty-meets-sweet. Shredded parmesan, ricotta and mozzarella come together to deliver a particularly gooey trifecta of cheese. Meanwhile, mashed and whole blackberries give tart and sweet flavor and a dose of antioxidant-packed flavonoids, healthy molecules that are also responsible for the berries’ deep purple hue. Sprinkle a touch of basil on top for a refreshing finish that won’t leave you feeling bogged down all day long. Photo and recipe: Karen Gifford / The Food Charlatan
13. Mini Rainbow Fruit
This colorful pizza tart basically sells itself. With a rainbow of colors, you get all the nutrition that our favorite fruits have to offer. (Think: Manganese-rich pineapple and vitamin C-rich kiwis, oranges and watermelon.) Swap in Greek yogurt instead of mascarpone cheese and you’ll slim down the recipe significantly.
