Except for Christmas, I cannot imagine a more difficult time to be on Weight Watchers! Especially when you have little ones – whether kids or grandkids, how do you stay on track with your points when all those goodies that Easter bunny brought are laying around the house. You know what I am talking about – those yummy chocolate bunnies, family dinners and baskets of goodies can wreak havoc on even the most dedicated Weight Watchers participant.
This list of Easter recipes are absolutely delicious and are all Weight Watchers friendly! Since I am on Weight Watchers I wanted to make sure I had a guide for my own weight loss journey and figured I would share these ideas with you. I hope these ideas will help you create a meal plan that you can stick to this Easter without feeling like you are missing out on the fun.
From appetizers to desserts, there is a recipe for every course that will allow you to enjoy your celebration while staying on your weight loss plan. I have also included the points for you so you can easily see what each item offers you so you can keep your points on track! I will be adding more recipes that are Weight Watchers friendly as I come across them or create them!
