As most of you guys already know, I’ve been following the Weight Watchers plan since I was about 1 month postpartum with Lilah, around 23 weeks now. I’m a huge fan of WW. I have used it in the past, and I am having great success with it this time around (I’m down close to 28 pounds since joining). The program changes every few years, and each time I have followed it, it has been a little different. This challenges me to find new recipes and snacks that help me adhere to my daily point goal. I try really hard to keep our house well-stocked with healthy, low point options so that I’m not tempted to go rogue and eat a bunch of things that aren’t so good for me. However, that’s what I love the most about WW, that you can still eat foods that are fun and even sometimes, a bit indulgent. I wanted to compile a list of some of my favorite Weight Watcher-friendly foods and hacks with you all, so that perhaps you can find something new to enjoy, and/or you have something to reference when you’re making your grocery lists. So, without further ado, let’s dive right in!
My Favorite Low Point Snacks and Foods:
Ritz Crisp & Thins Chips – love the Salt & Vinegar flavor – 21 crackers = 4 points
Laughing Cow Cheeses – these are great spread on sandwiches, low point crackers, apples, and in recipes – 1 wedge = 1 point
Tumaro’s Wraps – the best for sandwiches and quesadillas – depending on flavor 1-2 points
Enlightened Ice Cream – SO many yummy flavors, and by far the best low-calorie ice cream I’ve had – 2-4 points per 1/2 cup depending on flavor
Good Thins the Corn One Crackers – Perfect when you need a salty, crunchy snack, and great for dips – 41 crackers = 3 points
Sara Lee Delightful Bread – Great for toast and sandwiches – 2 points for 2 slices
Jif Whips & PB2 – When you miss peanut butter, but don’t want to eat so many points. Jif Whips is already prepared and tastes great, and PB2 comes in powder form, so it’s great for smoothies, but you can just add water to make it like traditional PB – Jif is 2 Tbs = 5 points and PB2 is 2 Tbs = 1 point I love both on apple slices, or a piece of toasted Sara Lee Delightful Bread!
Frigo Light String Cheese – great for a quick snack – 1 stick = 1 point
Rold Gold Pretzel Sticks – Whenever I feel the need for something salty, I reach for these! 53 pretzels = 3 points
Skinny Pop White Cheddar Popcorn – If you’re really in the mood to snack, this stuff is great. You can have 3.5 cups for 5 points!
Kodiak Cakes Pancake Mix – This stuff is a go-to for me most weekends for breakfast. You only have to mix it with water, it’s packed full of protein, and with sugar-free maple syrup, it’s low in points. 5 points for 1/2 cup of mix (most flavors)
Protein One Bars – These have become a go-to lately as a quick protein-packed snack on-the-run, or for grabbing as breakfast as I’m running out the door! 2 points per bar
Dannon Greek Light & Fit Yogurt- By far my favorite low-fat yogurts. They come in tons of great flavors and are awesome as a snack or for breakfast! The Strawberry Cheesecake flavor is my favorite! 2 points for most flavors.
My Favorite Hacks:
2 Ingredient Dough- If you don’t already know about this dough, you need to. It’s super simple to make, low in points, and you can make so many things with it! Find the recipe here, and I follow the hashtag #twoingredientdough on Instagram for inspiration!
Nana Disk- This is such a yummy dessert treat and so low in points! Find the how to here!
*I plan to continue to add to this list as I discover new snacks and hacks! If you have a favorite Weight Watchers-friendly snack, please share it so I can add it here!
A slice of smoked deli ham with a half tablespoon of cream cheese wrapped around a pickle spear. I make a big batch of these to keep in the fridge for snacks all week. 2 for 3 points and SO delicious with the combo of salty, creamy, crunchy, and sour. Having two feels like a good amount, but if you also slice them into rounds it makes it seem like even more food.
