You are going to love this healthy watermelon pizza recipe. It’s so easy to make that it’s barely a recipe at all. You can vary the ingredients according to your preferences or what you have on hand.
Watermelon pizza is a perfect summer snack, cool and refreshing on a hot day. It’s best served freshly made but if you have leftovers, be sure to store them in an airtight container and consume them within 48 hours for best results.
Healthy Watermelon Pizza Options
I like to use Greek yogurt for the sauce on the watermelon pizza, but you can also use a cream cheese mixture for a snack that’s not quite as nutritious. For toppings, you can include any of the following:
- Blueberries
- Blackberries
- Raspberries
- Strawberries
- Pineapple
- Cherries
- Peaches
- Papaya
- Kiwifruit
- Dragonfruit
- Plums
- Nectarines
- Oranges
- Grapes
Ingredients to avoid include anything that will brown quickly like apples, bananas, and pears unless serving immediately.

My Favorite Watermelon Pizza Recipe:
My Ingredients:
- 1 slice watermelon
- 1/4 cup raspberries
- 1/4 cup blueberries
- 1/4 cup strawberries
- 1/4 cup cherries
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 1 tsp lemon juice
Instructions:
- Slice a watermelon so that you have about a 2-3 inch slice. I like to use the small round seedless watermelons.
- Cut up the fruit you’ve chosen. I’m using assorted berries and cherries but you can substitute any fruit you’d like. You want between 2/3 and 1 cup of fruit as a topping.
- Mix the yogurt with the lemon juice and vanilla if desired. Plain yogurt is tasty too! Spread the yogurt over the surface of the watermelon slice.
- Top with the cut-up fruit. You can also set up the ingredients self-serve style and let each person build their own watermelon pizza!
- Cut into wedges and serve.
If you’d rather use a sweeter sauce, you can mix 1/4 cup Greek yogurt with 4 tablespoons of cream cheese, 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar, and a splash of lemon or orange juice. This will, of course, change the nutrients and calorie count.
