Taste Test Tuesday: Smart Ones Vegetable Pizza Minis
They’re new. They’re cute and convenient (and a little high in sodium). They’re Weight Watchers Smart Ones mini pizzas. There are a few different flavor options (cheese, vegetable, and pepperoni) but of course, I tried the vegetable option. I would prefer to make my own mini pizzas using mini whole-wheat bagels or whole-wheat pita bread as the crust, but this type of product can come in handy when hungry teens are afoot and you have literally only a few minutes to make a snack.
So How Do They Taste?
They look like mini deep-dish pizzas and there seemed to be enough cheese and toppings to make it appealing. I think they must have looked better than they actually tasted because my taste buds were a little disappointed. What I think was missing the most was a flavorful pizza sauce.
Hunger wise they were fairly satisfying; that might have been the 6 grams of fiber and 11 grams of protein kicking in. It makes a nice snack or lunch entrée at 270 calories. The 3.5 grams of saturated fat is mainly coming from the cheese.
