Though I usually almost always use fresh fruit in my recipes, I found that using canned fruit for this Orange and Pineapple Sorbet not only makes this frozen dessert recipe insanely easy, but it tastes so good, you’d never guess the fruit isn’t fresh. Perfectly sweet and tangy, each serving has just 2 Points +, and is the perfect fresh and fruity end to any low calorie summer meal. The fantastic tropical flavor leaves nothing to be desired, and it’s so flavorful that the 1/2 cup serving is more than enough to satisfy your taste buds. Though it’s not an official one of Weight Watchers Frozen Dessert Recipes, this fabulous sorbet is a great low calorie dessert idea for anyone who needs a healthy sweet treat to cap off their meal.

O M G…..Can I just, for one brief moment, express my insane obsession with mojitos?! I seriously CANNOT get enough of them, but being on Weight Watchers, the average mojito recipe can typically have 6-10 Weight Watchers Points! And if you drink as many I do, you’d have all your daily points gone in just a few drinks. Yikes! So when I found this 2 point value mojito recipe, I was super psyched to give it a try. And it’s the perfect low calorie cocktail recipe to serve up this Memorial Day! The recipe does call for Splenda, and I’m not always a big fan of artificial sweeteners, but sometimes, it’s the only way to get the point value lowered without sacrificing too much taste. So, if you are looking for a good Memorial Day Drink Recipe, add this weight watcher mojito recipe to your menu. Your weight watching guests will love you!
