Weight Watchers snacks can be hard to come by, especially when you start calculating point values! This list of over 40 Weight Watchers snacks is all under 6 Smartpoints so you don’t have to worry about spending all of your points before dinner rolls around. These snack ideas are great for meal prepping, use simple ingredients, and are budget-friendly

First off if you aren’t on Weight Watchers yet, that’s okay! Be sure to check to see how you can do Weight Watchers for Free. 

Other questions I get all the time is what is the difference in Smartpoints and Freestyle points? What are Points Plus? 

So a couple of years ago Weight Watchers always went by the Points Plus system, then switched to the Freestyle Program(current program). The Freestyle program offers over 200 zero point foods that previously came with values when it was the Points Plus scale. Overall daily points have been lowered due to the zero point food list.  

So long story short Smartpoints are the same thing as Freestyle and sometimes those are used interchangeably. Points Plus is the outdated points system.

Some of these homemade recipes may require an Instant Pot or an air fryer. So if there has ever been a time when you wanted one, I am saying now, YOU SHOULD TOTALLY do it! Those appliances seriously make life easier, let you cook healthier versions of the food you love, and the cleanup is super minimal!

Weight Watchers Snacks 

Homemade Weight Watchers Snacks 

Some of these have videos that I have included, well because I LOVE seeing things actually being made! So be sure to check those out too!

Instant Pot Hummus (ZERO points) 

Hummus is great for meal prep, a big gathering, or just an easy afternoon snack! It stores well, so it would be good to make a big batch at the beginning of the week! Goes great with veggies, low point crackers, or pretzels.

Best Homemade Chocolate Protein Shake 

This is one of my FAVORITE go-to breakfasts or snacks, especially when you are in a pinch for time! Sometimes we make them the night before just to make the morning routine a little easier.

Apple Chips (ZERO points) 

What a delicious quick and easy Weight Watchers snack! These apple chips are best served warm, but they are ZERO points so that is always a plus!

Zucchini chips (2 points) 

While zucchini chips are a nice addition for a simple dinner, they can easily curve an afternoon craving! Plus, you could even switch out the zucchini and make “fried” pickles for the SAME point value! If you don’t like veggies, this is an easy snack to sneak them in.

Weight Watchers Snacks to Stay Away From

If you use the WW app you know that there is a barcode option where you can scan snack foods while you are at the store. Some of these may ring in at 6 points like the others on the list, but the kicker here is the serving size. 

For instance, Chicken Ramen Noodles. We all know if you heat up that small square block of noodles your intention is to eat ALL of it. Who can blame us? It’s packaged as a convenient single serving. While it rings up for 6 points, that is for ½ the package. So if you eat all of it you are looking at a 12 point snack! 

There’s also the infamous smoothie debate. The Freestyle program says that fruit and vegetables (fresh, frozen or canned without added sugar) is ZERO points. But if you were to track a fruit smoothie, the point values ARE THROUGH THE ROOF. 

The reason for this is because according to some studies, smoothies that are drinkable are less likely to keep you full versus if you were to actually eat everything as it is. This may lead to overeating later. For more information on this, see how Weight Watchers explains it. 

Some people track the points for smoothies, are still keep it at zero for the fruits and vegetables. This is a personal choice, but if you are drinking them all the time, you may want to rethink the point values. 

Stay away from these Weight Watchers Snacks:

• Packaged Fruit Cups with Artificial Syrups 

• Fruit Loaded Smoothies 

• Sodas/Fruit Juices 

• Candy 

• Potato Chips 

• Frozen Pizzas 

• Ramen Noodles 

• Carb filled protein bars

Tips for Portioning Weight Watchers Snacks 

We all know that sometimes snacking can get OUT OF CONTROL. So be sure to use these tips that will help you with your snack habits, especially on Weight Watchers. 

• Portion out snack foods in Ziploc bags or reusable containers

• Be mindful of serving sizes. 

• Pre track your snacks. Know the points BEFORE you buy and portion the snacks 

• Meal prep is your BEST FRIEND. Set aside time each week. 

• Mark your portioned foods when you meal prep. If you use Ziploc bags, use a Sharpie to go ahead and write the points on there. If you are using snack boxes, you can always use a piece of tape and write on it. 

• Carry snacks with you or keep them at work. You will be less likely to overindulge at the next mealtime or worse, stop and get fast food! 

• water intake, read more about that here. 

  Along with snacking comes

• Limit processed foods. This is a given and the beauty of WW is that you can eat whatever you want as long as you stay within your point range, but we know that processed foods are crap for our health.
