I gotta tell ya, with all of the new Zero Smartpoint foods with Weight Watchers Freestyle, I’ve been super focused on what I could do with Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt, Chicken Breast and Eggs. I have not been super focused on veggies.
I truly believe that balance and variety are key for me in remaining on track and feeing satisfied. When I work in a variety of foods, veggies included, not only do I feel satisfied in the fact that I have a ton of options of foods to eat, but my tastebuds are satisfied too, and that helps keeps my cravings to a minimum.
Fruit and Nut Butters help to keep my sugar cravings to a minimum.
Meals packed with protein keep me full from meal to meal and that helps keep unnecessary snacking to a minimum.
Incorporating a variety of veggies into my meals not only gives me a pretty plate to look at, but it gives me the nutrients I need and bulks up my meals for zero smart points!
Win! Win! Win!
How Are You WW Freestyling? I’d love to know!
Yesterday…..
Breakfast – 9 SP
I was feeling chocolatey, and adding unsweetened Cocoa Powder to my Oatmeal is a great way to get my chocolate fix in without added sugar or artificial sweeteners.
Chocolate Oats (5 SP) topped with Banana slices, 1 T. Pure Maple Syrup (3 SP) and 1 tsp Trader Joe’s Mixed Nut Butter (1 SP)
Lunch – 3 SP
Simple Tuna Salad. 6 oz Tuna mixed with 1 T. Mayo (3 SP), dill relish, red onion, salt and pepper. Add to a bed of greens and a few carrots for crunch!
Snack – 3 SP
2 Cups of Popcorn
And grapes!
Sorry to be so “in your face” with these grapes, but they were so big and sweet and juicy!! I wanted you to see them! 🙂
Dinner – 6 SP
This recipe comes from working at the Food Truck. Mine will never taste as good as Sidney’s does when she makes it on the food truck, but it is pretty good and it’s an easy meal.
Dice up some sausage of your choice. I like these because they taste great and they are 2 SP for 1 link. I buy these at Whole Foods.
I am LOVING all of the goodies that WW has sent to all of the WW Ambassadors! The skillet, the cutting board, the knives! All awesome! I did buy this spray bottle. I love it too. Each spray is exactly 1/4 tsp of Oil. Makes counting easy when you just need a little olive oil.
I dice up my favorite veggies and let those cook a bit, then throw in the sausage and some rotisseries chicken for extra protein. Let everything get crispy in the Olive oil. Then at the end, I added a cooked diced up sweet potato.
Season to taste. You can really play with seasonings here.

Lucy….Thank you so much for your comment! It’s good to hear from readers and know that the blog is helping someone, somehow.
I totally laughed when I read the Bratwurst comment! I like them, but my husband did tell me that he doesn’t like the skin on that brand?? I know there are other brands out there that are likely as point friendly if you’re scared. lol
Anyhow, I am so happy that you are trying new things and that you find some inspiration for meal ideas! That makes my day!!
Thanks for reminding me that sharing my meals is giving someone ideas.
Have a great weekend!!
Jules,
I just wanted you to know that your blog helps me out tremendously. I have been on WW since gulp…1999. Having your blog daily helps me with new foods to try. Today’s lunch was your yesterday’s lunch. So simple and only 3 points. I must admit though that the Bratwurst did not look very appealing however I am interested in trying it. So when I do I’ll let you know. Thanks for pumping me up when I felt a little discourage with the journey. Keep them coming.
