Weight Watchers Breakfast Recipes with Points

A while ago I asked readers to share their biggest weight loss lesson or “aha” so far. The comments are a goldmine of helpful healthy eating and weight loss tips and powerful insights. Several comments talked about the importance of breakfast….

  • “My aha moment was when I realized that protein for breakfast like a hard boiled egg really did leave me feeling satisfied much longer than just carbs.” ~ Karen
  • “Eating a bigger breakfast really helps me keep the rest of the day in check. When I start the day with a high protein breakfast, it’s easier to control the rest of the days meals.” ~ Grace
  • “I find eating a nutritious breakfast starts my day. Eating oatmeal with fruit is one of my go to’s.” ~ Loreen

If you’re trying to lose weight, beginning your day with a healthy balanced breakfast packed with plenty of protein and fiber might be one of the best things you can do for yourself. We are all different, so you won’t know for sure until you test it out for yourself.

Weight Watchers Breakfast Recipes – Smoothies

For a quick and easy breakfast on the run, it’s hard to beat a delicious nutritious smoothie or protein shake. I love them all year long, but especially during the long hot summer here in Phoenix.

The key is not to get carried away since you can rack up the calories/points in a hurry if you’re not careful about what and how much you toss into the blender (affiliate link).

To count or not to count, that is the question…

Curious, when you make a smoothie, do you count the points plus in the fruit or not?

As you know, when you use the recipe calculator the fruit counts as an ingredient and has points. But fruits are free on the program. What to do, What to do? I tend to count the fruit points in smoothies because I’ve found I can end up eating too much fruit and gaining weight if I don’t. Sad, but true.

Weight Watchers Breakfast Recipes with Fruit

Naturally low in fat, high in fiber and packed with all kinds of good for you stuff, fruit can be a delicious part of a nourishing breakfast. And on the Weight Watchers program, fresh, canned or frozen unsweetened fruit is 0 Points, providing the extra incentive you might need to include it on your menu.

I like to have at least one serving of fruit for breakfast. Depending on the time of year and what’s in season, my favorites include bananas, apples, grapefruit, berries, watermelon and canned pineapple.

Weight Watchers Breakfast Recipes with Eggs

Eggs are one of my favorite ways to begin the day. Packed with protein, they keep me satisfied longer than any other breakfast that I eat.

I love to keep hard boiled eggs ready in waiting in the fridge for a quick breakfast or snack option. It’s no wonder their a Weight Watchers power food!

Weight Watchers Breakfast Recipes with Cereal

Cereal can be a nourishing way to begin the day. While a serving of cold whole grain cereal, like shredded wheat or cheerios is a healthy choice, my go-to cereal of choice is oatmeal. There are so many slim & healthy ways to enjoy oatmeal for breakfast

Weight Watchers Breakfast Recipes for Breads, Muffins, Pancakes and Scones

Homemade quick breads, muffins, pancakes and scones can be a great part of healthy breakfast. They are so much lower in fat, calories and Points Plus than what you’ll find in coffee shops, bakeshops and restaurants too. And they taste better too!

Weight Watchers Breakfast Recipes with Yogurt and Cottage Cheese

I love cottage cheese and eat it a lot for breakfast. The quickest way to enjoy it is topped with fresh, frozen or canned fruit.

You can use it to power up pancakes and muffins too. Yogurt is another great choice, especially when layered with fruit in a colorful parfait.
