How to Enjoy Sweets on Weight Watchers
You might think that being on Weight Watchers means giving up sweets forever. But that’s not true at all! Weight Watchers is all about balance and moderation. You can still enjoy your favorite treats as long as you plan ahead and track your points. Our collection of Weight Watcher Breakfast Ideas is full of recipes that will help you start your day with a sweet smile. And today, we’re adding another one to the list: the scrumptious PB2 cookies.
What is PB2 and Why You’ll Love It
PB2 is a powdered peanut butter that has 85% less fat and calories than regular peanut butter. It’s made from roasted peanuts that are pressed to remove the oil and then ground into a fine powder. You can use it in smoothies, oatmeal, sauces, and of course, cookies! PB2 has a rich peanut flavor and a creamy texture when mixed with water or milk. It also has 5 grams of protein per serving, which makes it a great choice for Weight Watchers. PB2 cookies are only 1 point each on the green, blue, and purple plans. Plus, they’re super easy to make. All you need are a few simple ingredients and a microwave. No oven required!
Ingredients and Tools: Setting Up for Success
To embark on this no-bake cookie adventure, gather the essentials: PB2, canola oil butter spread, white sugar, unsweetened vanilla almond milk, unsweetened cocoa, vanilla, and Quaker 1-minute oats. This easy-to-follow recipe is calculated based on PB2, but feel free to explore other powdered peanut butter options—just double-check those points!
The Points Breakdown
Wondering about the points in these delectable cookies? Each cookie is accounted for, but remember, altering the recipe means recalculating. Stay true to the 15-cookie yield to keep those points in check. As of 2023, we’re back to the simplicity of “POINTS” on Weight Watchers, so plug your ingredients into the app for accurate results.
