When Weight Watchers revealed their Freestyle program in the US, I have to admit that I was a little nervous about it. I wasn’t sure how it would work, if it would work and the idea of updating all my recipes made me want to squirm. But I think the new program will work well, as long as you don’t over-indulge in the new zero point foods.
Trying to come up with new recipes to make (no matter what kind of cook you are) can be a challenge. Meal prepping and meal planning take time and energy, and sometimes it’s not worth it or doesn’t work that week.
These ten easy Weight Watchers Freestyle recipes below have all been updated to include the new Freestyle points (Blue plan), and are all easy to make.
