Frozen pizza is "money in the bank," says Whole Living deputy food editor Shira Bocar: It's the perfect thing to stash away for a tasty last-minute meal. 

To give it a quick and healthy upgrade, top a plain cheese pie with a combo of protein and veggies or herbs, plus a hit of something fresh. 

Start with Amy's 4-Cheese Pizza (or similar). Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Unwrap pizza, and top with your vegetable and protein. Heat for about 15 minutes. Add your fresh ingredient, then serve.
