Looking for Weight Watchers Desserts

What about meringue cookies. I just went to an event and the host served dark chocolate covered strawberries, meringue cookies and macaroons. I don’t usually buy strawberries from Mexico but Costco had organic strawberries for a good price and I was in the mood. Granted I am in California and it was a nice sunny day yesterday and strawberries strike me as odd, I might feel differently if I had snow outside my door.

Thanks for the suggestions. I have to eat dessert while everyone is munching on the good stuff. Think I am going with the Angel food cake with pineapple as that just sounds so yummy to me :slight_smile:

I have that recipe. It’s cool whip, canned pumpkin…and a package of sugar free vanilla pudding mix. And some milk too. I’ll see if I can find it. It’s delicious!

Dark chocolate dipped fruit would do it for me! Dipped strawberries, orange slices, dried apricots! Yum! Not dessert but a charcuterie tray with prosciutto wrapped melon, cappacolla and salami with nuts, figs, and olives would be satisfying.as a snack. What about baked apples or apples in crockpot ? http://www.kitchme.com/recipes/crock-pot-baked-sliced-apples-weight-watchers

For someone who’s actually following Weight Watchers, this does not work. The plan isn’t designed to allow for it. You get a certain number of points per day. If you don’t use them, they don’t roll over to the next day.

Weight Watchers members also get a certain number of weekly points in addition to the daily points. These can be distributed as you please throughout the week (but they don’t roll over into the following week).

To maximize the number of points available for a special event, a Weight Watcher could do two things: (1) eat nothing else that has points on the day of the event so that all of the daily points would be available for the event, and (2) allocate all of the week’s weekly points to that day. But fasting the day before (i.e., not using the previous day’s daily points) would accomplish nothing.

I’ll second the chocolate dipped strawberries! You don’t have to dip all the way if you want less chocolate. :slight_smile: A great option alongside the pineapple cake!

Or 3) earn extra exercise points, correct?

@Doschicos, you’re right, of course.

I don’t know whether you can roll them over from one day to another, though. That’s a part of the plan I’m still confused about.

You cannot roll over your daily points but you have your weekly points that you can use all at once or split up. I try not to use the extra points though. I looked up the apple crockpot receipe and that one looks good too! Well then again so does the dark chocolate dessert with fruit!!! Such choices as I want them all :slight_smile:

OK…here is the pumpkin thing. If you won’t use sugar free pudding…just skip it.

15oz can of pumpkin
2 boxes of sugar free pudding (vanilla or butterscotch are really good)
3 cups milk
Cinnamon and nutmeg to taste.

Combine all in a mixing bowl. Thoroughly mix.

Put in individual serving cups and refrigerate…and top with…Cool Whip to serve.

Truthfully delicious…and tastes like pumpkin pie filling.

The pumpkin dessert is really good. I have had it at a CC friend’s home - served with gingersnaps. Very tasty even if you aren’t watching your weight.

What a great game! I made the angel food cake with pineapple. What a hit as it was so good! Stayed on my points even though I could have really eaten the entire cake! Thanks for the recommendations.

Glad you liked that cake!!

Really, this is just math, roll over/points/weekly points etc, is just another word for calories. If you decide your metric, it doesn’t really matter how you do it. You can have daily calories, weekly calories, monthly calories, as long as you run a deficit, you lose weight. Weight Watchers is clever enough to charge people for this nugget. For food calories, eat real food, vs cool whip or pudding mix. Packaged WW food looks like poison.

Though I am natural foods oriented from way back, weight loss is a tricky proposition that involves more than calories in and out. That Weight Watchers figures out the gimmicks to get people to drop pounds is to their credit. Yes, it is a game, but well worth playing for many of us. If it takes a little sleight of the caloric hand to keep from eating those chicken wings, then go for it. The frozen entrees are real food, and good tasting as are some other WW products. They promote healthy eating and do their research. Some of the foods are too artificial for me, but many are good tasting and good for you.
