It’s not every time you can whip up a nice, delicious dish for yourself. Sometimes, you may just be in the mood for something light to munch on in between meals.
Nonetheless, if you’re part of the Weight Watchers program, you’d like it if your snacks also contained low calories and didn’t tamper with your regimen. Therefore, we have taken the time to help you curate fifteen (15) snacks that are less than 3WW that you can take when you only feel like chewing something light to keep your mouth busy.
Greek Yogurt with Berries
Yogurt has always been a nutritious, creamy, and tasty snack for all classes of people, including young and old. But instead of the traditional fat-filled creamy yogurt, you can follow the recipe from The Kitchen Magpie and opt for the goodness of low-calorie Greek yogurt. You can also add fresh berries and a burst of flavor, and you’ll still get 2 WW points.
Air-popped Popcorn
Another low-calorie, guilt-free snack option that’s perfect for satisfying your crunchy cravings is Amy’s Healthy Baking’s air-popped popcorn. While this snack is only 2 WW Points, you can get creative with the colorings, some of the add-ons, and cream if you wish. Just ensure that you stay away from too much sugar or sweets.
Carrot Sticks with Hummus
While this snack may not be as popular as popcorn, it’s yet another satisfying snack with only 2WW points. Not only is carrot a great antioxidant, but the creamy hummus will leave your tastebuds craving more. Both nutritious and satisfying, it’ll take you only 30 minutes to create Tasty’s recipe at home.
Cottage Cheese with Pineapple
If you’re seeking something sweet and tangy, this is the best snack to try. Both fruity and creamy, this pair is best for when you need a comfortable snack or you want to plan an exotic gathering for your friends. In TastyAZ’s recipe, this nutritious snake will only cost you a few ingredients, including creamy cottage cheese and lots of freshly cut pineapples. Don’t forget, this is also a protein-packed treat.
Hard-Boiled Eggs
This may be the easiest of all the recipes mentioned on this list, and it’s also the purest. It’ll take you only about 5 minutes or less to boil eggs, and you don’t need to restrict yourself to the type of egg. Consuming about 5 or 6 of these is sure to get you filled, and if you follow the special recipe from Eating Bird Food, which includes more combinations of avocado and tasty spices in the simple process, you’ll be getting a protein-rich, satisfying snack for only 2WW points.
String Cheese
Let’s go a little stricter with string cheese, which is just a WW point. It’s portable, delicious, and convenient to make, which makes it the best go-to nutritious snack for times between meals, before or after the gym. However, not everyone knows how to prepare it, so this is a simple recipe from Fox Valley Foodie that only takes 10 minutes of kitchen time.
Airfried Babybel Cheese
Still on foods that serve just a single WW point per serving, this similar cheese snack is another tasty treat that you can prepare for yourself and your friends in between meals. Another great part of this treat is that it is individually wrapped, which makes it portion-controlled for those of us who can’t just seem to have enough. The Salty Side Dish also has an amazing recipe to follow.
Sliced Cucumber with Tzatziki
Do you love cucumbers? Try serving it with some creamy tzatziki sauce on the side. While this may be more than a snack for all, it can also serve as a great launch substitute, especially if you want to cut down on the compiled daily WW points. With the recipe from Babaganosh, you’ll be getting 2WW points for this tasty dish.
Apple Slices with Almond Butter
Apples have always been a great source of vitamins, fiber, and antioxidants. Besides this, studies have shown that apples do have a positive effect on reducing the risk of cancer and diabetes. Plus, it has a unique sweet taste. But what about if you top the slices with almond butter? Talk about crunchy, delicious, creamy, fruit-filled snacks. If you want the best result from this 3-point snack, follow Back to Organic’s recipe and slice the apple into really thin slices.
Sliced Bell Peppers with Salsa
Have you considered eating a snack worth zero WW points? Great news! This sliced bell pepper with salsa recipe by Lemon Tree Dwelling sits at 0 WW points, which means you have a lot of it, and it will not add up. It’s a great option if you need to jump-start your weight loss program or if you need to have a little something to fill up your tummy without adding any additional points.
Rice Cake with Cottage Cheese, Cucumber & Dill
Since it seems like we’ve been talking a whole lot about cottage cheese, it’s time to mention the super delicious 3WW point recipe from Eat This Much that serves light and airy rice cakes topped with cottage cheese and fresh cucumbers. Not only is it a sweet and savory combo, but it’s also a great snack to fix up for kids on lunch breaks.
Roasted Chickpeas
If you just love the idea of veggies, then try the roasted chickpeas, which are green, crunchy, and high in fiber, which aids digestion. Besides this, it’s also the only snack on our list so far that’s great for on-the-go munching. With the recipe from Love and Lemons, you can serve this in a small bag and snack on it while on a commute. It’s only 3WW points.
Sugar-Free Jello
This is another 0WW point snack that you can snack on, especially if you have a sweet tooth. It’s not just great for snacking but also a great idea for dessert after a great meal. With just zero points, you’ll not need to worry about how much of this delicious sweetness you take on after. While both kids and adults can munch on this guilt-free treat, the recipe from All Day I Dream About Food takes it to a higher level.
Mixed Nuts
Just like chickpeas, nuts are great on-the-go snacks that you can have for both healthy fats and a satisfying crunch. With a handful of mixtures, from ground nuts to almonds and more, you can have a tasty treat. Try Cookie and Kate’s recipe for a colorful blend. It’s only 3 WW points for a small portion.
Sliced Turkey Roll-Ups
Finally, the last tasty snack that’s only 3 points or less is the Deli turkey slices rolled up with mustard or a light spread for a protein-packed, low-point snack. At just 1WW point, this snack from Culinary Hill is both tasty and fit for a dessert that shouldn’t get your program tampered with.
