Sometimes, when following the Weight Watchers plan the need to snack hits me hard. When it does I find it best to reach for a low point or even better a zero point snack than to reach for the chips or cookies!

This list of the Best Zero Point Snacks for Weight Watchers includes some shop brought snacks as well as some quick to make snack ideas. At the bottom of the page I’ve also listed some zero point recipes ideas.

Now that there are three individual plans on the Weight Watchers program, not every food that is zero points on one plan will necessarily be zero points on the other plans.

Because of this I have broken the list into four parts, zero point snacks for the Blue plan (or the old Freestyle plan), zero point snacks for the Purple plan and zero point snacks for the Green plan.

The last section is a list of zero point snack recipe ideas. All of these are zero SmartPoints on the Blue and Purple plans. They are not all zero points on the Green plan, so just beware. I have noted the SmartPoints for the Green plan.
