Traditional hummus recipes get a new twist with this flavorful version! When I found this pumpkin hummus recipe, I was really excited to give it a try! I love hummus, and even though it’s good for you, it tends to be pretty caloric, which can really rack up those weight watchers points. This lower calorie version uses pumpkin instead of the traditional garbanzo beans, which helps you get more quantity in each serving than you would with your traditional hummus recipe. It doesn’t taste exactly like regular hummus, but the new taste is absolutely fantastic! Each serving of the Pumpkin Hummus Recipe has just a 2 Point Total, which isn’t bad. And I think it’s a really unique dip recipe that is ideal for any party or appetizer. Try serving with some 1 Point Pita Bread, or with some 0 point veggies! It also makes a great spread for sandwiches too! This hummus recipe has endless opportunities. Enjoy!

I have always been a fan of low calorie Chinese fast food recipes, but this one really caught my eye, as sweet and sour chicken is my all time fave! This chicken stir fry recipe is pretty easy to prepare, and tastes great!! In the past, I’ve just used pre-made sweet and sour sauce, but this dish uses a sweet and sour sauce recipe, made from scratch, so the taste is really fresh. With just a 4 Point Total, this popular Chinese dish is loaded with protein and veggies, but also full of tangy flavor. Each nicely sized serving gives you a healthy dose of vitamins and antioxidants too. Though this is not an official one of weight watchers chicken stir fry recipes, it’s an ideal meal choice for any weight watcher who loves Chinese fast food as much as I do!

If you’ve got a craving for some Barbecue Potato Chips, but don’t want to salvage all your Weight Watchers Points, these “Popped” Potato Chips from Trader Joe’s will definitely satisfy your craving. I LOOOOOOVE BBQ Potato Chips, but it’s hard to find low calorie versions that taste really good, so when I saw these in the store, I was really excited to give them a try. They were fabulous! Each 19 chip serving is just a 2 Point Total. But here’s the best part…if you eat the WHOLE bag (and yes, I sometimes do – I’m human), you are just consuming 8 total points! Though not recommended, it’s not bad for eating a whole bag of chips. Wanna learn more about them? Keep reading!

This Greek-Style Pasta Casserole Recipe is truly a unique and flavorful dish. I love almost all Mediterranean recipes, so I was excited to give this one a try. And I was NOT disappointed. It’s a pretty easy dish to prepare, and it packs a lot of flavor. With each serving only having a 3 Point Total, this is a wonderful low point dinner recipe that the whole family will enjoy. It’s also a great , original dish to take to a potluck as well. If you like mediterranean flavors, you’ll like this casserole…it was delicious. You can also add in some toasted almond slivers for added crunch, but make sure to factor that in to the Point Total. Though this is not an official one of Weight Watchers Recipes, it’s a great meal that just about any dieter will enjoy. You can also prepare this dish cold as a great greek pasta salad recipe!
