WHOLE WHEAT PITA PIZZA
With Meatballs or Plain
Salad Bar Veggie Sides
Strawberry-Yogurt Smoothie
Good news -- we now have a whole grain pita pizza! But go with the plain -- the meatballs are are processed, cooked and frozen by Tyson. Ingredients are: Ground beef (not more than 20% fat), water, bread crumbs (bleached wheat flour, salt, yeast, dextrose, and soybean oil), seasoning (salt, dehydrated onion, dehydrated celery, garlic powder, spices, soybean oil), tomato puree (tomatoes and citric acid), grated parmesan cheese [(cultured part-skim milk, salt and enzymes), cellulose powder, potassium sorbate], grated romano cheese made from cow's milk [(cultured pasteurized part-skim milk, salt and enzymes), cellulose powder, potassium sorbate]. They have 9g of fat (3 are saturated) and 450 mg of sodium. Tyson recently had another ground beef recall due to e. coli contamination although this one did not affect the school lunch market.
The sauce is a Red Pack vitamin enhanced tomato sauce. The sodium at 140mg is much lower than we previously used. Here are the ingredients: Tomato Concentrate (Water, Tomato Paste), Sugar, Soybean Oil, Potassium Chloride, Onion Powder, Salt, Citric Acid, Spice, Garlic Powder, Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid), Black Pepper, Vitamin E (DL-Alpha Tocopheryl Acetate), Natural Flavor, Vitamin A (Retinol Palmitate). The cheese is a USDA commodity part skim mozzarella. Ingredients are cultured pasteurized milk, salt, enzymes. The sodium is 240mg/oz - I think we use 2 ounces.
By the way, the government says the tomato sauce makes this pizza a vegetable.
The smoothie will be made with either plain yogurt to which we add honey or vanilla yogurt (no honey) if we can't get plain plus 1% milk and frozen strawberries.
