Full of fiber and flavor, this tasty black bean dip recipe is incredibly filling. Serve it as a dip with fresh veggies, baked pita chips, or baked tortilla chips as a delicious and healthy appetizer recipe. I also used this dip as a sandwich spread on a turkey breast sandwich. Deeelish! This is really such an easy dip recipe, you can make it in no time, so it’s a great snack idea if you need to whip up something healthy – fast! Also, I am obsessed with spicy foods, so if you don’t like things as hot as I do, just take out the jalapenos in this recipe. :) Though this is not an official one of Weight Watchers Dip Recipes, it’s 1 Point Total servings, make it an ideal dip for any dieter.

Carrot Cake

If you are looking for a super yummy, low calorie version of a homemade carrot cake recipe, then you came to the right place! Considering that traditional carrot cakes can average 12-15 weight watchers points per serving, this diet friendly carrot cake recipe is a fabulous bargain at just a 4 Point Total per serving. And then there’s the not so average, Cheesecake Factory’s Carrot Cake Recipe. It has approximately: 1,510 calories, 84g fat, 600mg sodium, 179g carbs, 6g fiber, 129g sugars, 18g protein = 36 Weight Watchers Points!!!! CRAZY. I have always been a fan of carrot cakes with that rich, gooey, cream cheese frosting, but being a Weight Watcher pretty much kept me away from all my favorite dessert recipes. But after some trial and error and alterations with traditional carrot cakes recipes, I was able to create a version that is much lower in points and yet still tastes AMAZING. And though this is not an official one of weight watchers dessert recipes, it’s a great, low calorie dessert that will satisfy the carrot cake lover in everyone.

Hollandaise Sauce

Ever since the first time I tried Eggs Benedict, I have been in LOVE with Hollandaise Sauce. Something about that ooey gooey, creamy, buttery goodness that I just can’t get enough. But since the two main ingredients in traditional hollandaise sauce recipes are eggs and butter, it can end up being a pretty fattening sauce, loaded with Weight Watchers Points. But by making a few small changes, I slimmed it down, and made it a much more weight watchers friendly recipe. This delicious French sauce works well over eggs, salmon, toast, or roasted veggies (like asparagus). With just a 1 Point Total per serving, you can treat yourself to a gourmet and decadent dressing that the whole family will enjoy. And this recipe shows you how to make it a blender instead of using a double boiler, so it’s the best easy hollandaise sauce recipe!
