Spinach Mushroom and Tomato Pizza

Spinach is one of the best sources of iron but unfortunately lots of kids don't like to consume it. A simple remedy to this problem is to add it to the recipes they love. This time it's a pizza packed with the goodness of spinach and mushrooms. I've also included tomatoes in a generous amount to give it a tangy flavor. I've used mozzarella cheese for this preparation but you can definitely replace it with your favorite cheese you regularly use for pizza. There are two methods to add spinach to this pizza. Either you make a concentrated puree or you add whole leaves cut into small pieces. I've used the latter technique to make it look more colorful. As always, I'll suggest you make the pizza base at home instead of buying a ready-made version from the supermarket.
