Summer may be winding down, but there’s still plenty of fresh fruit to enjoy! For this week’s WW meal plan for August, I’m making the most of those ripe and juicy favorites by turning them into delightful zero point desserts. From strawberry popsicles to mini cheesecakes, these treats are light, refreshing, and totally guilt-free.
Whether you’re looking for a sweet way to beat the heat or want to satisfy your sweet tooth without derailing your healthy eating, these recipes have got you covered. Best of all, they’re super simple to whip up, so you can indulge without spending hours in the kitchen.
This WW meal plan for August 18-24 will help you get through the end of this busy school month without having to worry about what to eat or when to eat it. It’ll keep you on track with your Weight Watchers goals by giving you room each day to decide how to use your leftover points. Each day is made to be under 20 points so that you’ve got some wiggle room to work in some summer fun. Let’s dive into the plan!

Tips for Easy and Efficient Prep:
- Take advantage of seasonal produce: August is the peak season for many fruits and vegetables. Stock up on fresh ingredients like tomatoes, zucchini, corn, berries, and peaches, which can be easily incorporated into quick and healthy meals.
- Batch cook and meal prep: Dedicate one day a week to preparing large batches of grains, proteins, and vegetables that can be used in various meals throughout the week. This will save you time during the busy weeknights.
- Make use of your grill: Grilling is a quick and easy way to cook proteins and vegetables without heating up the kitchen. Grill extra portions to have leftovers for salads, wraps, or quick protein-packed meals.
I can’t think of a better way to soak up the last few weeks of summer than with a refreshing, fruity treat in hand. Let’s make this final stretch of the season as sweet and satisfying as can be!
