Healthy Easy To Make Recipes - Low Calorie Recipes | LaaLoosh (2024)

One of my favorite comfort food dishes, a traditional eggplant parmesan recipe, can really rack up the Weight Watchers Points. But my light Eggplant Parmesan has all the delicious and traditional flavors but for just 5 Points per serving!

And did I mention that this is made with three kinds of cheese? Oh yeah…and the eggplant is breaded. It is DELICIOUS.

The leftovers were quickly devoured for lunch the next day. Everything worked together so perfectly, making the ultimate low-calorie Eggplant Parmesan Recipe.

Once you make this dish at home for yourself, you’ll get that Italian food craving seriously satisfied, and yet you’ll still stay on track with your Weight Watchers goals. Enjoy!

Oh, how I love sauces. The first time I had a homemade chimichurri sauce, I was blown away at the incredible, savory flavors it had, and how it really enhanced the flavor of my steak.

My husband is also a big fan of chimichurri sauce, so I decided it was time to start making it at home more often. Even though the main ingredients in a traditional chimichurri recipe are practically calorie-free, the substantial amount of oil that most recipes use ends up making the sauce laden with extra fat.

Thus making it pretty high is Weight Watchers Points. And when you are using a good chunk of your Points on steak, the last thing you want to do is double that with an oily sauce. However, my light chimichurri sauce recipe has eliminated that concern.

Each 2 tbsp serving is just 1 Point. And it still has all the flavors that are expected, just altered a bit to make it healthier. Not only does it make a fantastic sauce for steak, chicken, or seafood, but it is also an amazing marinade.

It’s so intensely flavored, yet so bright and refreshing. This Weight Watchers Chimichurri Recipe has now become a staple in my house. Enjoy!

Another great Weight Watchers Crock Pot Recipe that is super easy, delicious, and just 5 Points per serving.

This Crock Pot Chicken Teriyaki Recipe was a hit with the whole family. I ate mine as is to avoid adding extra Points, but I served it to my family over some rice, and they LOVED it.

The pineapple and bell pepper is a great way to add a bit more flavor to the chicken and to get in those fruit and vegetable servings.

Also, this low-calorie crock pot recipe can be done with frozen chicken too…but it may be closer to 8 hours of cook time instead.

Next time I make this, I think I’ll add in some fresh sugar snap peas too…yum! Enjoy.

I adore roasted vegetables…they give such a different and robust flavor to the veggie and, in my opinion, make vegetables really easy to eat.

But one vegetable that I surprisingly haven’t tried to roast yet was beets. With a fresh bundle of beets on hand, I decided that now was the time.

In just a few quick and easy steps, my beets were roasting away in the oven, and I was anxiously awaiting that first bite. They turned out even better than I expected!

The salt, thyme, and orange juice seasoning were perfect. They were sweet and tender, but with a kick. Absolutely delicious. And of course, they are 0 Points per serving which makes them all the tastier.

My husband liked these a lot too, and they will definitely become a go-to vegetable side dish in our household. Enjoy!

Hope you all enjoyed Super Bowl Sunday! But if you are like me, and may have gone a little overboard with all the game day goodies, then my take on a Japanese Cucumber Salad Recipe is the perfect cool and crisp side salad to add to your meal today.

It’s so light and refreshing, and at just 1 Point, it’s a great way to bulk up a meal without using a lot of your Weight Watchers Points.

It’s a great flavor combination of sweet and sour, and the toasted sesame seeds add a nice, delicately nutty flavor.

Bonus – the cucumbers have an anti-inflammatory effect and are very hydrating, so it’s a great way to combat all the sodium from the salty foods you may have indulged in.

This Japanese Cucumber Salad also makes a great side to many meals (not just sushi!).

I love it with a spicy fish or chicken dish. Definitely one of my favorite low Points Weight Watchers salads recipes. Enjoy!

Chili has always been one of my go-to foods when I want to eat a lot without using a lot of Points.

It’s heartier than soup, very filling, and I can eat more than 1 serving without feeling guilty. Plus, it’s insanely healthy and full of fiber and protein.

My White Turkey Chili Recipe is the perfect example of what I’m talking about. I even dressed it up with mozzarella cheese and plain, non-fat Greek yogurt, and each serving still came in at just 5 Points….and it was delicious!

The mozzarella gets all melty, and the ground turkey gets nice and moist from stewing a while in the citric acid of the tomatillos. SO GOOD!

This can also be made with fresh tomatillos if you prefer. Either way, it’s a delicious and unique Weight Watchers chili recipe that is sure to fill you up without using many Points. Enjoy!

I LOVE Thai food and I love my crock pot, so this Crock Pot Thai Green Curry Chicken Recipe was the perfect marriage. Easy to put together, the end result is a delicious and filling green curry chicken that clocks in at only 6 Points per serving.

The only thing that I would do differently next time, is to use fresh vegetables. The frozen Asian stir-fry vegetables that I used tasted fine but were limp and soggy. If you prefer a firm texture to your veggies, then I’d suggest using fresh vegetables instead of frozen ones.

Either way, this is still a super tasty and super easy Weight Watchers Crock Pot Recipe. Serve it over some brown rice or noodles for a complete meal.

Enjoy!

I love to make this Egg White Salad Recipe to have on hand for the week…it’s so filling and I can have it as a snack with crackers or on toast or salad for a lunch.

Each 3/4 cup serving is just 2 Points, so it makes a great low-calorie prepared food on hand when I don’t have the time or energy to cook something.

This cholesterol-free egg salad is made with Vegenaise which is my absolute favorite mayo alternative. But reduced fat mayo works just as fine too.

Either way, this is one delicious egg white salad recipe that is key to help keep you full for just a couple of Weight Watchers Points.

Enjoy!

I call these Light Cheese Nachos my “Bad Girl Nachos” because they taste SO good, but feel so bad. Seriously, when you eat them, you may feel like you are cheating on your diet.

But one-half of the entire platter is just 6 Points, which is way better than the typical restaurant nachos. These are made with real cheese, and fresh ingredients making them incredibly flavorful.

You are getting a lot of bang for your buck in these nachos, and they also quite filling. Share this dish with a friend and you’ll be able to enjoy this guilt-free pleasure for just a handful of Points.

These Light Cheese Nachos are key for me when I’m having a bad day and just need to consume some junk food. But if I can find a way to make my favorite version a lot healthier and Weight Watchers-friendly, then I can have them more often and save the bad version for a very occasional treat.

These healthy nachos are a MUST try!

Growing up as a kid, Sloppy Joes were a regular in our house. Both of my parents worked full-time, so our dinners needed to be quick and cheap. But they were by no means healthy.

Still, I’d grown fond of them over the years, and have decided to give this popular family dinner a healthy makeover.

My Low-Calorie Sloppy Joe Recipe is even more delicious than the canned version, but it’s also a LOT healthier. Much less fat and sodium, and a lot more fiber, protein, and fresh vegetables.

I served it on a ciabatta roll, which is generally lighter and less dense than regular rolls. It tasted incredible, and each sandwich was just 7 Points.

I served my kids the sloppy joe on mini whole wheat sliders and they LOVED it. So now I can feel good about making sloppy joes a regular meal in our house.

Enjoy!

Ok, don’t hate me for another cauliflower recipe (I know I’ve been on a roll with them the past couple of weeks), but I’ve been seeing so many Buffalo Cauliflower Bites Recipes on Pinterest lately, that it had me craving them and I had just had to make some.

Last year, I did a Buffalo Cauliflower Poppers Recipe that was similar, but I wanted to make a few changes. My new Buffalo Cauliflower Bites turned out amazing…my husband and I could not stop eating them.

By using a light flour coating, instead of the Panko, and baking the bites with some of the hot sauce, these ended up having a lot more flavor and a very nice texture.

Of course, these do not taste exactly like the hot buffalo wings that I’m sure you’re craving, but these Buffalo Cauliflower Bites are way healthier and are just 3 Points for a nicely sized serving. Plus, sometimes, just that hot sauce taste will help satisfy that craving.

These are the perfect Weight Watchers Super Bowl recipes to add to your game day food table this year. Serve with celery and low-calorie blue cheese dressing.

Enjoy!

I’ve been a fan of roasted kale chips longer than I can remember, but it never occurred to me, until recently, to start getting more experimental in my kale usage.

It is such an amazing vegetable with incredible benefits, and yet I had only prepared it a few different ways. Since it does have a similar taste to chard, I decided to cook it the same way I would make a sauteed chard recipe.

Plus, I happened to have a lot of kale on hand, and I needed a quick and healthy side dish recipe that required little effort. A sauteed kale recipe was just the ticket. And I was thrilled with how it turned out — so delicious and so incredibly easy.

This is definitely a great Weight Watchers recipe to go to when I need a quick side that is very low in Points and super high in nutrition.
