Weight Watchers Freestyle Zero Point Breakfast Ideas

Update - WW (Weight Watchers) has updated their Freestyle program. The new program is the MyWW (Green, Blue & Purple) Program. We have updated all our recipes on this website to include the myWW SmartPoints for all 3 plan options.

As a working person, you most likely aren't fond of breakfast. Who is? Getting up early, getting yourself, your partner, and your kids out the door so no one is late is bad enough, but finding time to cook a breakfast that is zero points? Ridiculous!

Until now. We are going to show you how you can eat, eat well, and not spend hours cooking breakfast AND do it all for zero points. Sound crazy? It’s not as hard as you might think.

We are going to list 7 WW Freestyle breakfasts that are easy to make and have no points. This means a few extra points for lunch, right? Unless you decide to go zero points for lunch as well!

1. Hard Boiled Eggs

It doesn't get much easier than this!

SmartPoints myWW Green: 4 Pts, myWW Blue: 0 Pts, myWW Purple: 0 Pts

INSTRUCTIONS:

Sunday night, boil the number of eggs you will need for the number of people in your house times 2. For example, two people in the house would mean 4 eggs (2X2=4). This way, they are ready for Monday, for example. You can put your eggs in a small container, along with a 4 ounce package of non-fat Greek yogurt and some salt. Tasty and simple and 100% zero calories!

2. Zero Point Banana Pancakes

If you have a bit more time, you can whip up these pancakes in no time flat! We admit that we were skeptical when we first heard of these, but we are skeptics no longer! Try them out this weekend and we bet you will be won over as well!

This recipe makes 4 pancakes. Serves 2.

SmartPoints myWW Green: 2 Pts, myWW Blue: 0 Pts, myWW Purple: 0 Pts

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 large eggs
• 1 large banana, well mashed
• ½ teaspoon of baking powder
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla
• ¼ teaspoon of cinnamon

INSTRUCTIONS:

• Preheat your pan or griddle and spray with a zero calorie cooking spray
• Put all ingredients in a blender and mix until smooth
• Pour onto griddle and cook until bubbles form on the top (about 2 to 3 minutes)
• Flip and cook another 2 minutes
• Serve with non-fat whipped dairy dessert (such as Cool-Whip Free) and slices of fruit (bananas, strawberries, blueberries, whatever you like best)

Extra Bonus: Super Easy Zero Point Waffle Mix

We couldn’t pick between the pancake recipe or the waffle recipe so we are giving you this one as an extra bonus. Why? Because with one little change, you can turn this into a waffle mix!

SmartPoints myWW Green: 3 Pts, myWW Blue: 0 Pts, myWW Purple: 0 Pts

Seriously, who doesn't love crispy, crunchy waffles topped with bananas or blueberries and some non-fat diary topping like Cool Whip Free?

This recipe is the same as above, but for waffles, simply add two tablespoon of flour. If you have a large waffle iron, this might only make 2 waffles. Serves 2.

3. Fried Egg Turkey “Sandwich”

These are another time saver as, if you want, you can make the night before and put them in zip lock bags. If you like these hot, reheat in the microwave (minus the lettuce).

This recipe makes 1 “sandwich”.

SmartPoints myWW Green: 3 Pts, myWW Blue: 0 Pts, myWW Purple: 0 Pts

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 or 3 ounces of ground turkey
• 1 large egg
• Romaine lettuce leaves
• Salt and pepper to taste

INSTRUCTIONS:

• Liberally coat a large skillet with zero calorie cooking spray
• Make two small, thin patties out of the ground turkey
• Fry the patties on both sides until brown (about 3 minutes on each side)
• Spray the pan again and fry the egg, turning once
• Put the egg in the middle of the patties, along with salt, pepper, and any other spice you might like to add.
• Wrap in romaine lettuce leaves just before eating.

4. Marvelous Muffins

These are one of our favorites because we can eat them hot in the morning, and then bag a couple to take to work for an afternoon snack. Of course, you can always make these the night before and pop them into the toaster oven or microwave later on.

This recipe is for 6 muffins.

SmartPoints myWW Green: 2 Pts, myWW Blue: 0 Pts, myWW Purple: 0 Pts

INGREDIENTS:

• 6 large eggs
• Pick one half cup of two or three of the following (all veggies should be chopped) for a total of 1 to 1.5 cups of veggies, kale, baby spinach, onions (any color), peppers (any color), mushrooms, tomatoes, basil, zucchini, peas, broccoli, or cauliflower.

INSTRUCTIONS:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees
• Spray a muffin tin with a zero calorie spray (butter flavor is nice but not necessary)
• In a large bowl, whisk the eggs well
• Put your vegetables in the muffin tins. You can mix them up or make single veggie cups, whatever you like
• Pour the egg mixture on top, leaving about ¼ inch from the top
• Bake for about 20 minutes or until a knife or toothpick comes out clean
• To remove, simply use a knife to go around the edge of the tin.
• If you want to freeze these for later, wait until they have completely cooled.

5. Berries and Yogurt

This is another super easy breakfast that takes about 1 minute to make!

SmartPoints myWW Green: 1 Pts, myWW Blue: 0 Pts, myWW Purple: 0 Pts

INSTRUCTIONS:

Simply add about 1 cup of fat free plain Greek yogurt to a bowl, then mix in about ½ cup of fresh berries. You can use strawberries or blueberries, or even a mix of berries! For a slightly different taste, try adding a teaspoon of lemon zest or just a squeeze of lime juice over the top.

6. Spicy Bell Peppers with Eggs

This recipe takes about an hour, but if you have the time, it is so worth it! Otherwise, make it on the weekend or make it the night before!

This recipe serves 6.

• Crack one egg into each bell pepper
• Bake uncovered for another 20-22 minutes

7. Italian Baked Egg Cups

These are so simple; all you need is 10 minutes to put them together. Pop them in the oven while you are getting dressed and they are ready in 20 minutes! Of course, you could always cook them the night before, and then reheat in the microwave. We like these to take to work as snacks!
