Best Weight Watchers Recipes with SmartPoints & PointsPlus

marks the first full year of Weight Watchers Beyond the Scale Program and transition from PointsPlus to SmartPoints.

Though some members struggled with the transition from points plus to smart points, Oprah lost an impressive 40 pounds since joining and WW reports that those following SmartPoints lost 15% more weight than on prior plans.

After traveling around the web to visit all my favorite Weight Watchers friendly sites - Emily Bites, Slender Kitchen, SkinnyTaste, Cookin Canuck, Snack Girl, Skinny Kitchen, Recipe-Diaries, Drizzle Me Skinny, Eat Yourself Skinny and Organize Yourself Skinny -  I'm happy to report that it was a delectable year for Weight Watchers friendly recipes.

Favorites Dinner & Dessert Recipes for Weight Watchers

I was surfing around the web today and came across several great collections of Weight Watchers Recipes for Dinner and Dessert that I wanted to share.

I don't know about you, but one of my biggest challenges is coming up with meal ideas.

I'm always on the lookout for simple healthy recipes. Because even a creature of habit like me who is willing to eat the same foods lots of the time can get bored every now and again!

+ Best Weight Watchers Dinner and Dessert Recipes

To save time and energy, I try to focus on Weight Watchers recipes that include nutritional information needed for calculating points, or even better, with PointsPlus® and SmartPoints® already calculated.

It's so much easier, especially when you're just getting started with Weight Watchers.

Evidently I'm not alone because there's a wealth of amazing healthy Weight Watchers recipes all over the web. It just takes time to find them and keep track of them, which is why I'm posting them here.

And although I came across great collections for breakfast, lunch and snacks, today I'm focusing on Weight Watchers Recipes for Dinner and Dessert.

Dinner, because it's the meal that is the biggest challenge for most of us and dessert, because it's a fun, sweet and delicious part of a healthy balanced life 🙂

Enjoy!

Weight Watchers recently introduced a new plan called SmartPoints™. The Smart Points value is based on calories, protein, saturated fat and sugar. It takes how your body processes food into account and takes the hard work out of making healthy, filling choices. It gives you credit for eating more lean protein and less sugar and saturated fat.

Weight Watchers Smart Points Explanation

Instead of Old Points or Plus Points, you will start counting Smart Points. SmartPoints are intended to get you to eat less empty calories and more filling foods.

Calculating SmartPoints Values: Smart Points are calculated based on calories, protein, sugars and saturated fat. No more counting total fat, fiber and carbs. Point are calculated with calories and increase as you add saturated fat and sugars, and decrease as you add protein.

Weekly SmartPoints Allocation: You’ll start with at least 30 SmartPoints out the gate, so if you were eating less PlusPoints, you’ll get more! The 49 weekly points are gone and you’ll get extra depending on the results of your assessment.

Protein: Protein without much fat yields low point values. In fact, lean meats are often points less per serving than they were on the PointsPlus program. This is great for chicken breast, turkey and tuna lovers.

Fruits and Vegetables: Fruits and veggies are still zero SmartPoints, which is awesome. Calories in recipes still count, but they’re not counted in the SmartPoints value. However, if you’re having a fruit juice or a smoothie, you’ll need to add those points. Weight Watchers wants you to eat the good stuff in the fruit, not just drink it.

Sugar and sweets: You’ll get hit hard when it comes to snaking on this program. Most sweets are a few points more per serving on the new program.

Weight Watchers Recipes with Smart Points

We are in the process of updating all the recipes on our site with their respective Smart Points values. In the meantime, you can manually calculate the SP value of any recipe using this formula: SP = (Calories + (4 x Sugar) + (9 x Saturated Fat) &#; ( x Protein)) / 33 or by using our handy Weight Watchers Smart Points calculator.

You could also use this handy SMART Points Calculator from Weight Watchers to help you figure out food points and reach your weight loss goals!
