Whip up your own mini pizzas in no time.
Pretty much everyone loves pizza. Some of us love it so much, we’d eat it for lunch every day if we could. But those greasy slices from the food court aren’t very healthy, and anyway, picking one up every day would get expensive.
Of course, you could make your own pizza at home. But it’s kind of a lot of hassle to bake a whole pie just to cut off one slice and stick it in your lunchbox. Besides, if you eat one slice a day, it would take you over a week to go through the whole thing, and it probably wouldn’t keep that long.
Fortunately, there’s an easy trick for whipping up your own mini pizzas at home. Just toast an English muffin and top it with pizza sauce, cheese, and your favorite toppings (I used mini pepperoni slices). Then pop it under the broiler for just a minute or two until the cheese melts.
Make this English Muffin Pizza lunchbox idea with some cucumber slices and grapes on the side, and you can enjoy a pizza lunch that’s actually good for you.

Can you put how many Weight Watcher points are in each lunchbox? That would be very helpful. Thank you.
