This list was compiled by myself and many Weight Watchers members who were kind enough to bring foods to my attention. Because my website is not specifically a Weight Watchers site, I have not included points plus values for these products. However, be assured they are all very reasonable in points plus values, and worth every one!
My criteria for this list are:
- AN OVERALL HEALTHY CHOICE
- NO ARTIFICIAL INGREDIENTS, ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS, ETC.
- THEY TASTE GREAT!
- IT IS NOT A POOR SUBSTITUTE FOR THE REAL THING
*This list was updated on September 18, 2011
Please send me your ideas, and a link to a site, if you have it and I will add them to the list.
