Instant Pot Hummus Recipe

Hummus is great for meal prep, a big gathering, or just an easy afternoon snack! It stores well, so it would be good to make a big batch at the beginning of the week! Goes great with veggies, low point crackers, or pretzels. (ZERO points)

Chocolate Protein Shake

This is one of my FAVORITE go-to breakfasts or snacks, especially when you are in a pinch for time! Sometimes we make them the night before just to make the morning routine a little easier.

Apple Chips (ZERO points)

What a delicious quick and easy Weight Watchers snack! These apple chips are best served warm, but they are ZERO points so that is always a plus!

Apple Slices are not only zero points but they are also high in fiber and an amazing source of nutrients. I eat apple slices every day. I have them throughout the day and also one or two before I go out to eat. They help me feel full and make better choices when I'm not home to cook for myself.

Bananas are zero points, loaded with nutrients, a great source of potassium and easy to take with you on the go.

The WeightWatchers Freestyle plan introduced eggs are zero points!! I use my Instant Pot every week to make a pot of hardboiled eggs because they come out fabulous every time. I never have eggs stick to the shell anymore. I snack on them whole, slice them into salads and make a low calorie egg salad version with fat free mayo for sandwiches and I make a terrific deviled egg recipe. They are a wonderful, zero point snack.

Easy Caprese Bites

I happen to love cheese. Swiss cheese, cheddar cheese, string cheese, etc and so on WeightWatchers now, I am a big fan of low-fat cheese.

At a minimum, I keep low-fat string cheese and low-fat cheddar cheese in the fridge all the time. There is nothing better than a string cheese in the evening when I get a crazing. I pair it with a few apple slices and it is just what I need to get rid of any cravings. Make sure you get the low calorie versions and feel free to do the same with a slice of low fat cheddar cheese too.

Air Fryer Corn on the Cob

Corn on the cob make a wonderful snack any time of day. It gets in my teeth and makes me crazy so I like to cook it in my instant pot and then use a knife to take it off the cob. It's a very nice snack or side dish.

Steel Cut Oatmeal

There is nothing better than a Bartlett pear at snack time. This wonderful fruit is so delicious and absolutely loaded fiber it is an amazingly healthy snack for any time of day. I like to slice them up and add them to a nice big bowl of steel cut oatmeal that I just so happen to make in my instant pot. That way it cooks perfectly and says warm all day for easy snacking.

Black beans are another good source of fiber and they are completely delicious. You can eat a handful of them, add them to soups or salads or your favorite black bean chili recipe and they couldn't be better for you.

Beer Cheese Dip for Pretzels

This dip is delightful! Perfect for Air Fryer Pretzels! If you are in a pinch you can always use store-bought pretzels too! It is also really good with low salt or low calorie tortilla chips if you can find them.

Don't be afraid of fat free greek yogurt or low fat cream cheese and/or sour cream. I use them all with herbs and spices like garlic, onion and dill to make delicious low point dips. The spice flavors all meld together after about 30 minutes in the fridge, and it makes a great dip for veggies like carrots, jicama, celery, red bell pepper and cucumber. All those veggies are just loaded with vitamins so eating them is a win-win.

You can also use these dips to make a iceberg wedge salad. The lettuce is no points, pour some dip over the top, add some sliced up apples and shaved almonds, and you have a really nice light meal or snack salad to get you through until dinner. (3 points)

Store-Bought Weight Watchers Snacks

Some of the snacks below have pictures or links just in case you aren’t familiar with them. Also, I have added little tidbits if I know of places that you can buy them for cheaper, something unique, or just little extras that may be helpful for you!

Mini Pretzels (19 for 3 points)

Lays Poppables (30 for 5 points)-I LOVE that the ones above on the left are the single-serve bags, this is super convenient. But the ones on the right are a deal from Amazon compared to my local store!

Chips (mini/bite size Tostitos 24 for 4 points) and Salsa

Rice Cake with 1 tbsp of peanut butter (4 points)

Low fat cottage cheese with fruit (3 points)

Smart Pop Popcorn (single serving bag 3 points) Though most popcorn is WeightWatchers friendly and low in calories – I personally love Safe + Fair’s Strawberry Cheesecake Popcorn.

Goldfish (55 pieces for 4 points)

Quaker Apple Cinnamon Rice Crisps (13 for 5 points) There are several varieties, but this one is my favorite! It’s a sweet snack and with the lower points and the crispness, it kind of takes the place of potato chips and a sweet craving at the same time!

Laughing Cow spreadable cheese with mini peppers (1 point)

Almonds (¼ cup for 4 points)

Pringles single-serving cups (4 points)

Parmesan cheese Whisps (15 for 4 points) These are really good for snacks! If you are looking for them locally check Target or Whole Foods.

Nabisco Good Thins (41 pieces for 3 points)

Pickles (ZERO points)

Oh Snap Pickles (ZERO points)

Dannon Light and Fit Greek Yogurt (2 points)

Fruit and Lite Whipped cream (4 points)

Sugar-Free Jello Pudding mixes (¼ = a serving, 1 point each)

Pillsbury Sugar-Free Cinnamon Swirl Quick Bread (3 points per serving) Most of the time when I buy this I usually get it at Walmart or Target

Chex Mix (½ cup for 4 points)

Teddy Grahams (13 pieces for 5 points)

Trader Joes Veggie Sticks (50 for 4 points)

Baked Cheetos (34 for 4 points)

Rice Krispy Treats (1 bar for 4 points)

Apples with Sugar-Free Smuckers Caramel Sundae Syrup (3 points for 2 tbsp) Be sure to check the end caps around the ice cream section or the aisle with the peanut butter and jelly!

Snack Box (2oz of deli turkey, Sargento Light Mozzarella string cheese, your choice of fruit, hard-boiled eggs-2 points) I LOVE these Bento Boxes! They are especially great when you want a reusable lunch container, and comes with a spoon and fork! Perfect for kids and adults!

Weight Watchers Snacks to Stay Away From

If you use the WW app you know that there is a barcode option where you can scan snack foods while you are at the store. Some of these may ring in at 6 points like the others on the list, but the kicker here is the serving size.

For instance, Chicken Ramen Noodles. We all know if you heat up that small square block of noodles your intention is to eat ALL of it. Who can blame us? It’s packaged as a convenient single serving. While it rings up for 6 points, that is for ½ the package. So if you eat all of it you are looking at a 12 point snack!

There’s also the infamous smoothie debate. The Freestyle program says that fruit and vegetables (fresh, frozen or canned without added sugar) is ZERO points. But if you were to track a fruit smoothie, the point values ARE THROUGH THE ROOF.

The reason for this is because according to some studies, smoothies that are drinkable are less likely to keep you full versus if you were to actually eat everything as it is. This may lead to overeating later. For more information on this, see how Weight Watchers explains it.

Some people track the points for smoothies, are still keep it at zero for the fruits and vegetables. This is a personal choice, but if you are drinking them all the time, you may want to rethink the point values.

Stay away from these Weight Watchers Snacks:

Packaged Fruit Cups with Artificial Syrups
Fruit Loaded Smoothies
Sodas/Fruit Juices
Candy
Potato Chips
Frozen Pizzas
Ramen Noodles
Carb filled protein bars

Tips for Portioning Weight Watchers Snacks

We all know that sometimes snacking can get OUT OF CONTROL. So be sure to use these tips that will help you with your snack habits, especially on Weight Watchers.

Portion out snack foods in Ziploc bags or reusable containers.
Be mindful of serving sizes.
Pre track your snacks. Know the points BEFORE you buy and portion the snacks
Meal prep is your BEST FRIEND. Set aside time each week.
Mark your portioned foods when you meal prep. If you use Ziploc bags, use a Sharpie to go ahead and write the points on there. If you are using snack boxes, you can always use a piece of tape and write on it.
Carry snacks with you or keep them at work. You will be less likely to overindulge at the next mealtime or worse, stop and get fast food!
Along with snacking comes water intake, read more about that here.
Limit processed foods. This is a given and the beauty of WW is that you can eat whatever you want as long as you stay within your point range, but we know that processed foods are crap for our health.
