Weight Watchers offers a great, innovative concept consisting of products and other services including recipes that should guide you and assist you in leading a healthy lifestyle and maintaining a balanced diet.
Say goodbye to fast food chains and hello to hearty meals that you will get to prepare in the comfort of your own home. Don’t worry, cooking a healthy meal does not require a lot of time if you have the right recipe and you are willing to put love into what you are doing, the dish will be made and on your dinner table in no time.
After any good meal should come a decadent dessert, right? But how can you treat yourself to a sugary pleasure if you are trying to keep a fit figure and stay away from processed and refined ingredients?
Weight Watchers has you covered. First, this brand does offer a number of prepared frozen dessert products including Chocolate Fudge Ice Cream Bars, Dark Chocolate Raspberry Ice Cream Bars, English Toffee Ice Cream Bars, Salted Caramel Ice Cream Bars as well as Cookies and Cream Ice Cream Bars.
To be honest, it is quite hard to decide which one is the best and considering the low sugar and low fat ingredients, you can treat yourself to a bar without the guilt that would be present otherwise.
Still, you should indulge in these only if you have no time to prepare a dessert on your own. If you have 20 minutes to spare (and you most certainly do), we suggest you try some of the Weight Watchers Frozen Desserts that we will now present below.
Breakfast Banana Split
A great way to start your morning or round off your lunch is a well-made banana split which will satisfy anyone's sweet tooth. The problem with the traditional version of this dessert is that it includes a lot of whipped cream or ice cream on top and that is certainly not something you want to indulge in while on a diet. But this doesn’t mean that you can’t keep this meal healthy and hearty while watching your weight. Yogurt is a great alternative to the aforementioned sweet toppings, and some nuts will work great to spice things up and give you a bit of crunch in your banana split.

Frozen Reese’s Peanut Butter Pie
Could you think of a frozen dessert recipe that is as hearty as a frozen peanut butter pie? A dessert that will bring back childhood memories, it takes only around 30 minutes to prepare, excluding the few hours that it needs to chill in the freezer. Simple, quick, and delectably tasty, you can’t go wrong with this frozen Reese’s Peanut Butter pie!
What you will need (for 10 servings):
- 8 oz of fat-free cream cheese
- ½ cup of peanut butter
- ½ cup of baking stevia
- ¼ cup of skim milk
- 1 cup of fat-free Cool Whip
- One premade Oreo Pie Crust
- 3 tablespoons of Light Hershey’s Syrup
- The first thing that you should do is to cover a springform pan (8 x 8 inches is ideal) in a non-stick cooking spray. Once you have done that, mold the Oreo pie crust until you achieve the right thickness, pressing it down into the pan.
- Now that the non-stick coating is covering the pan, and the pie crust is prepared – the only thing left to do is to mix all the ingredients together. Whether you are going to use a mechanical mixer or stir it by hand, be sure to stop only when it has all combined into one hearty mixture.
- Now that you have prepared the mixture, pour and spread it over the crust. Let it sit in the freezer for 6 hours, and take it out 10-15 minutes before serving, allowing it to soften to room temperature. Add Reese Peanut Butter Cups or nuts as a topping, and enjoy your dessert! The whole recipe yields 10 servings, enough for you and your whole family to enjoy.
