Lentil Fritters Recipe

By
lentil fritters

Here’s one of my favorite Weight Watchers Vegetarian Recipes for those days when I want a really filling and satisfying dish that is equally delicious. These Lentil Fritters are crisped on the outside, and soft and warm on the inside. They are served on a bed of fresh, sweet and tangy cabbage slaw and topped with a cool creamy, cucumber yogurt sauce.

Packed with an incredible amount of fiber and protein, these lentil fritters come out to just 5 Points plus per serving! They are a bit time consuming to make, but you can cut some of the prep work out and used canned lentils, if you prefer. But it is well worth the effort – they are fantastic!

Milk Chicken Recipe – 5 Points

By

I have always been a fan of Jamie Oliver, so when I came across his unique Milk Chicken Recipe, I was eager to give it a try and see if I could make more of a Weight Watchers chicken recipe. It’s a really simple dish that requires just a handful of ingredients. Yet the combination of all the flavors and textures really creates a mouthwatering result.

These Light Italian Meatballs are my go-to meatball recipe for whenever I am craving traditional Italian food.

The key here is the extra lean ground beef. This makes a dramatic difference in the Points value. Cutting down on all that fat in the ground beef, allows for the addition of grated Parmesan cheese mixed into the meat.

Low Fat Banana Bread Recipe

low fat banana bread

I’ve had my share of Weight Watchers banana bread recipes, but this version is my favorite. The bread comes out so moist and delicious, and the applesauce and vanilla extract help to give it just the right amount of sweetness without having to use a lot of sugar.

If you prefer to use regular, all-purpose flour with this instead of whole wheat, you absolutely can. Or you can use a mixture of the two flours. But I like the added nutrition of whole wheat. I also added a few tablespoons of organic raw flaxseed because I was serving this to my kids, but that does add an extra Point or two. So, I posted the recipe without the inclusion of the flaxseed.

This low fat banana bread is wonderful with your morning coffee or tea, or for an after-dinner sweet treat. And at just 4 Points for each thick slice, you’ll be thrilled at how filling and satisfying it is. Enjoy!

Light Orange Chicken Recipe – 3 Points

light orange chicken

Orange Flavored Chicken is one of my all time favorite Chinese foods. But given that it’s dish that is usually breaded, deep fried chicken in a thick, sweet and sticky sauce, it’s not really the best choice if you are following the Weight Watchers plan.

So in order to have my orange chicken and eat it too, I put together a much healthier and lighter version that has a LOT less fat and calories than the traditional restaurant version.
