Summer WW Snacks: Boom Chicka Pop Sweet & Salty Kettle Corn
Boom Chicka Pop has me in a chokehold. It’s so hard to believe that this sweet and salty kettle corn is less than 150 calories for two whole cups.

Hard Boiled Eggs
Hard boiled eggs are a great option because they’re zero Weight Watchers points, and packed full of healthy fats and protein. Just a few will keep you full for a while. I love packing these in zip lock bags with salt and pepper, so they’re already seasoned – just ready to eat. And the best part is, most gas stations have these as an option. So even if you forget to pack some, you can stop and grab a package for the road.
