10 High Protein Pizza Toppings (Low Carb Friendly!) 🍕

Chicken pizza, especially BBQ chicken pizza might be my all-time favourite. High protein and low in carbohydrates, chicken is a must on your healthy low carb and high protein pizza.

You can easily grab some chicken from the deli counter that’s pre-cooked, or you can cook up your own chicken breast prior to adding it to your pizza. Chicken is high in vitamin B12, typtophan, choline, zinc, iron and copper.

Turkey is another low carb high protein pizza option with 29g of protein and 0.1g of carbs. Rich in protein (higher than chicken), and a lean protein so it’s low fat, turkey is a great source of B vitamins, minerals and may even help support heart health. Not something you’d typically find on a traditional pizza, but defintiely one to give a try!

Crispy ham on a pizza? There’s nothing better. High in protein and low in carbs, if you love Hawaiian pizza, it’s good news for you! Similiar to ham, pepperoni is also high in protein (23g) and low in carbs (0g), so if you love pepperoni pizza, it’s also good news for you.

Not everyone loves seafood on pizza, but if you do, prawns are a high protein and low carb topping that go well with a bunch of different veggies. You can pre-cook and marinade your prawns in some garlic and chilli for a spicy and tasty hit, if that’s your thing!

Eggs florentine pizza is a simple way to ramp up the protein content of your homemade pizza, and all you have to do is crack and cook an egg in the middle of it! Not to mention if you cook the egg just right, you’ll have some gooey runny yolk to dip your crusts into.

Eggs are naturally rich in vitamin B2 (riboflavin), vitamin B12, vitamin D, selenium and iodine. They also have vitamin A and several other B vitamins including folate, biotin, pantothenic acid and choline.

Ever thought about making your own homemade pesto as an alternative to a tomato sauce based pizza? Or, smothering pesto on top of your cheese? It’s high protein and low carb and quite frankly, super delicious. Try this keto basil pesto!

I know not everyone loves veggies on pizza. However, veggies can be a great low carb and high protein addition to your pizza. Of course, not as high protein as meat, but something’s better than nothing!

I love the taste and texture of portobello mushrooms, and they go great with an extra heaping of high protein parmesan cheese and sprinkled with some oregano.

In terms of high protein veggie pizza toppings, it doesn’t get much better than spinach – it was Popeye’s veggie of choice for a reason! Spinach has also been known to have cancer preventing properties, aid in good bone health, reduce blood sugar, it’s good for your eye-sight… it has so many benefits.

It’s a great option for vegans or vegetarians too – I’d recommend a spinach, mushroom and garlic pizza for some serious high protein kick!

Not your typical pizza topping, but I love cauliflower pizza (I love it as a pizza base too!) Cauliflower and cheese make an excellent combo – especially mozzarella and parmesan! Cauliflower is an excellent source of vitamins and minerals, containing some of almost every vitamin and mineral that you need.

Anytime I eat broccoli I feel like I’m the healthiest person alive, so safe to say I love adding it to my pizza for a high protein low carb kick. Full of calcium, iron, potassium, zinc, niacin and so much more, don’t forget about this humble veggie next time you do healthy pizza night at your house.
