Weight Watchers Snacks 

Homemade Weight Watchers Snacks 

Some of these have videos that I have included, well because I LOVE seeing things actually being made! So be sure to check those out too!

Instant Pot Hummus (ZERO points) 

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.

Best Homemade 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. 

Zucchini chips (2 points) 

While zucchini chips are a nice addition for a simple dinner, they can easily curve an afternoon craving! Plus, you could even switch out the zucchini and make “fried” pickles for the SAME point value! If you don't like veggies, this is an easy snack to sneak them in.

Berries are zero points and crazy delicious. Raspberries, strawberries, blue berries, etc. Buy them fresh at your local farmers market and serve them over non fat frozen yogurt for a mid day snack or dessert. They are amazing!!

WW Pumpkin Muffins (4 points) 

With this great WeightWatchers snack idea, pumpkins aren't just or fall! They also have almost 4 grams of protein in each muffin and are HEAVENLY!

Veggies & Ranch (Here’s a ZERO point recipe for homemade Ranch) 

Hard-boiled Eggs (ZERO points) Make them in the Instant Pot, ONLY 3 minutes!! 

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. 

2 Ingredient Bagels (3 points) 

Are you familiar at all with 2 ingredient dough? It is an incredible dough that is just like it sounds, made of just 2 ingredients. It is a sure-fire favorite in our house! We use it to make bagels, pizza casserole, cinnamon rolls, pretzels, soup bread bowls and so on. Any of which make great go-to snacks. 

Be sure to check out the Ultimate Dough guide for tips and other great recipes, like pizza, empanadas, and funnel cake bites, YUM!

2 points Starbucks Drink 

Now you can make your own iced caramel or iced mocha Starbucks drink at home! Pure deliciousness without ever leaving the house! Just 2 Points!

Don't forget to try the Pumpkin Spice version too! 

Oranges go great with everything. Slice up an orange and add it to your drink, serve it in a sale or just eat orange wedges by themselves. Talk about crazy flavorful and absolutely zero points. 

Quick Chocolate Mousse (4 points) 

Need a little chocolate in your life? The little quick and easy chocolate mousse can curve a sweet craving in a minute! Super easy to make and a great sweet treat or snack!

Homemade Applesauce (ZERO points) 

Applesauce has become one of my favorite things to make! Kid-approved and being that's its made in the Instant Pot is incredible! ZERO point Weight Watchers snacks are hard to come by, but once you make this you will be hooked! Plus, no added sugar. It's an easy and very low point snack. 

Caprese Bites (points vary due to cheese) 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.

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. 

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.

Yogurt fruit pops (2 points) 

Yogurt Fruit Pops are very easy to make. A great snack if you don't want to heat the house up or if it's a hot day!

Air Fryer Pretzels (3 points)

How fun are these pretzels? Like the 2 ingredient bagels, these too can be made sweet or salty. While they look a little fancy, they are really easy to make with a simple ingredient list.

Spicy Tuna Salad (ZERO points) 

Here is a twist on a traditional tuna salad recipe. Awesome for meal prep and even easier to leave in the fridge for a quick snack. NO points is a win, win for everyone!

If you've never heard of using chocolate and avocadoes together, you are in for a real treat and will just love this simple snack idea! Great for meal prep and pretty low in points! If nothing else, a real conversation starter. :)

Avocado and Egg Salad (4 points) 

If you love avocadoes you will love this simple snack idea! Great for meal prep and pretty low in points!

Roasted Ranch Chick Peas (1 point) 

These chickpeas provide the crunch like chips, but WAY healthier! I recommend serving/eating while hot!

Easy Dill Pickle Dip (1 point) 

Where are my pickle lovers? I love any kind of dip pretty much, so I was super excited about this one. Pairs nice with veggies, pretzels, or low point crackers for an easy snack.

Creamy Guacamole (2 points) Avocados are one of the “healthy fats” and this delicious recipe will not disappoint. This guacamole is just so good but we all know that avocado can really do a number on the points, but this is only 2 points! Goes great with bite-sized Tostitos or maybe some taco boats?

Chocolate Chip Cookies (6 points) 

Who doesn't love chocolate chip cookies? And who doesn't love the fact they are WeightWatchers friendly! While I don't encourage late night feasting, I really like keeping these on hand for an easy snack! Plus with being homemade you know exactly what's in them!

Fresh Fruit Popsicles (1 point)

These babies ring in at only 1 point! A perfect little sweet treat and you can make them in batches which is great too!

WeightWatchers deep fried oreos are not something I have all the time, but man are they a great sweet treat when you just need something decadent. 

 

Beer Cheese Dip (3 points)   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. 

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)

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)

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.
