Weight Watchers Breakfast Recipes with Points Plus Values

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.

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.
