35 Easy Weight Watchers Breakfast Ideas - Drizzle Me Skinny! (2024)

Everyone knows how helpful it is to start the day off with a hearty healthy breakfast.

But here’s the problem: too many breakfast options that are hearty enough to keep you full until lunch are loaded with calories. And so many healthy breakfast options are so light that they leave you starving just a short time later.

Over the years, I have received a lot of questions from readers about what are good and bad options for weight watchers breakfast options.

So, I will try to answer the most common questions before sharing 35 of my favorite weight watchers breakfast ideas from around the web. I have tried to highlight recipes that are both hearty AND healthy.

I know a lot of my readers use some of the older weight watchers plans–and my philosophy is that if you should definitely do what works for you!

So below, you will see me include point totals from some of the classic green, blue, and purple ww plans in addition to the new plan. The easiest way to get the most up to date points info is to just plug it into your WW app.

If there are any questions that I missed, let me know if the comments section below.

Frequently asked questions about Weight Watchers breakfast

Is oatmeal a free food on Weight Watchers?

I love oatmeal. And using oatmeal is a great way to build a breakfast that is both healthy and filling.

According to Heathline, “Oats are among the healthiest grains on earth. They’re a gluten-free whole grain and a great source of important vitamins, minerals, fiber, and antioxidants.

Studies show that oats and oatmeal have many health benefits. These include weight loss, lower blood sugar levels, and a reduced risk of heart disease.”

Weight Watchers rates oats and oatmeal – depending on the type – as a ZeroPoint food. These fiber-loaded, complex carbohydrates can be a great way to start your day.

Do you have to eat breakfast on Weight Watchers?

While there is no single answer that fits everyone, plenty of studies have shown and many dieticians recognize the importance of breakfast. More importantly, what you eat matters more. Avoid refined carbohydrates, especially sugar, and limit fat.

For breakfast on the go, look for a low point cereal to have with almond milk – only 1 point! – for a healthy breakfast without the bigger time investment.

And on those days where you just don’t have time to fit breakfast in, opt for Low Point Weight Watchers Snacks (With Point Totals).

Can you eat regular food on Weight Watchers?

I love this question. Anyone who has ever started a diet knows exactly where this is coming from.

One of the best things about about weight watchers is that there are no foods that are completely off-limits.

This means that yes, you can eat regular breakfast foods on weight watchers. You just need to track how many points you are using and make sure you are using high point ww foods in moderation.

Is Yogurt a zero point food on weight watchers ?

Yogurt is a delicious high-protein healthy food.

According to Healthline, yogurt is “very nutritious, and eating it regularly may boost several aspects of your health. For example, yogurt has been found to reduce the risk of heart disease and osteoporosis, as well as aid in weight management.”

So it’s not surprising that weight watchers has made several types of yogurt zero-point foods.

Basically, the rule is that if the yogurt is plain and non-fat then it’s zero points–this applies to greek yogurt, soy yogurt, and traditional yogurt.

When you start adding additional flavors and more fat, then the yogurt will have some ww points. The easiest way to check is to just plug it into your WW app.

Are eggs still zero points on weight watchers?

Eggs are a great source of protein, are full of vitamins and minerals, and are a ZeroPoint food on Weight Watchers. You can eat them boiled, scrambled, over easy, and if you’re watching your cholesterol you can easily just eat the egg whites.

I love these Egg White Breakfast Cups, and they are just as tasty without the bacon.

Are fruits and vegetables zero points on weight watchers?

According to Harvard’s School of Public Health, “A diet rich in vegetables and fruits can lower blood pressure, reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke, prevent some types of cancer, lower risk of eye and digestive problems, and have a positive effect upon blood sugar, which can help keep appetite in check.”

And this means including fresh fruits and vegetables with your breakfast is a great way to make your meal both healthy and hearty.

As you’d expect, weight watchers recognize the importance of fruits and vegetables. And for this reason they have made ALMOST every fruit and vegetable a zero point food.

The only exception is starchy vegetables–which will cost points.

This doesn’t mean you can never eat potatoes for breakfast again! Check out my weight watchers friendly Turkey hash brown breakfast casserole if you don’t believe me! It just means you have to count those potatoes as part of your daily points budget.

What can I eat for breakfast on weight watchers?

Fortunately there are endless healthy breakfast recipes to help you lose weight that taste great. A Weight Watchers breakfast consists of many yummy breakfast ideas like:

• Weight Watchers Muffins
• Low point weight watchers pancakes
• Weight watchers breakfast sandwiches
• Weight Watchers Breakfast Casseroles
• WW friendly overnight oats
• WW granola
• Weight Watchers french toast sticks
• Mini Protein Waffles
• And much more.

18. Crispy Air Fryer Turkey Bacon

Sometimes you just have a morning. A plate of crispy bacon is an excellent remedy to that kind of mood! This recipe shows you how to take a food with a bad rap for being unhealthy and fattening, and transform it into the opposite. Using turkey bacon over pork bacon makes a huge difference, and air frying eliminates added fats. So pile up that plate!

19. Healthy Hash Brown Casserole

It’s similar to an egg casserole, but this adds in shredded potatoes for that extra yum factor. It also features sage and onion ground turkey, which makes it taste like sausage. There is plenty of protein to fill you up all morning, with 10 eggs being used for the entire bake. Luckily, eggs are a zero-point food!

20. Homemade Potato Cakes

Inspired by Arby’s, but not to brag, these are much better and the fat content is over 50% less! Eggs, potatoes, parmesan, bacon… What more is there to say, except, get cooking!

21. Pineapple Coconut Oatmeal Muffins

If you like pina coladas but are self-aware enough to realize drinking them for breakfast isn’t a good idea, then these muffins are for you! It’s like kicking off your day with a bite of a tropical island, without having to slather on the SPF. Coconut and pineapple are both packed with nutrients, and the oats give a gentle slow release of energy to keep you going all morning.

22. Banana Blueberry Oat Muffins

A different flavor combination that works really well in oatmeal muffins is banana and blueberry. Banana gives a natural sweetness that rivals most other fruits, and the blueberries give a tangy kick. Pairing them with Greek yogurt for breakfast will give you a boost of protein.

23. Turkey Sausage Breakfast Patties

Pretty much everyone knows turkey sausages are a much healthier option than other meats, especially if you’re buying brands with the most ‘pure’ ingredients. This means mostly turkey instead of added extras, or ingredients you don’t recognize. These breakfast patties can be eaten on their own, with eggs, or even in a breakfast sandwich.

24. Egg White Frittata

This recipe can be changed up according to your tastes or just whatever you have on hand. I use feta cheese, peas, onions, broccoli, and red bell peppers, and it is absolutely delicious. It can be made with whole eggs but this recipe was designed to be an even lighter version of a frittata and with less cholesterol.

25. Blended Overnight Oats

Overnight oats are perfect if you’re always rushed in the mornings. They are incredibly versatile because you can choose whatever milk option you want, and there are countless flavor combinations. As well as being easy and delicious, it has plenty of health benefits too. Oats are great for heart health as well as slow-release energy, reducing any energy spikes and crashes, full of fiber, and essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.

26. Cinnamon Roll Overnight Oats

This is one of the many flavors of overnight oats you can create. It features ground cinnamon, chia seeds, a splash of coconut milk, and skim milk. You can, of course, use an alternative milk if you wish. I also add in chunks of ripe banana but extra sweetness can be achieved with stevia instead. It will keep those sweet cravings under control because your body will feel like it’s been treated to dessert for breakfast with this creation but without the energy crashes!

27. Southwest Tofu Scramble

This is so delicious it can definitely be used as a breakfast for dinner dish as well. Packed with protein from the tofu and black beans, but brimming with nutrients from all the vegetables, it’s everything you want in a healthy breakfast. The Tex Mex seasoning keeps the flavor interesting, making it a breakfast you will enjoy time and time again.

28. Homemade Vegan Granola

A tasty homemade granola recipe that’s not loaded with sugar or fat is extremely hard to come by. That’s what spurred me to create this recipe that comes in at only five Weight Watchers points per serving. There are lots of options for flavorings in the recipe, so you could actually make a different granola every week!

29. Breakfast Stromboli

Stromboli isn’t just for lunch! This recipe shows you how to turn it into a meal society will accept for breakfast. It’s basically bacon, potatoes, and vegetables wrapped up in pizza dough. Then it’s baked and sliced up into portions, perfect for entertaining or breakfasts for the week!

30. Baked Oatmeal Cups

These are nice and crispy, more akin to granola than oatmeal in texture. Oats are a good way to start your day because they will boost your energy all morning, and offer a plethora of health benefits. These cups can be topped with different things each day so you don’t get bored. Think Greek yogurt for some protein, and then fruits like strawberries, blueberries, or bananas. Even chia seeds or other seeds/nuts will work too.

31. Tater Tot Breakfast Casserole

An easy way to produce that hash brown flavor without making it yourself is to use tater tots! That’s right, they aren’t just for kids to eat for dinner. This casserole is packed with ground turkey for a lean protein hit, and delicious breakfast flavor is added with cheese, bacon, eggs, and herbs.

32. Air Fryer Cinnamon Roll Bites

In a bid to create as many types of cinnamon roll-inspired breakfast foods as possible, I bring you cinnamon roll bites. They are cooked in the air fryer to make them deliciously crispy on the outside, but super soft and gooey on the inside. These are really easy too, the recipe dictates store-bought dough which is chopped up and flavored before air frying. Simple but not overly fattening, perfect for a quick breakfast that still brings the fun factor!

33. Baked Blueberry Lemon Square Pancakes

This is a fantastic way to cook pancakes. I don’t know about you, but I find it can be so time-consuming cooking them in a pan. This way they are all being cooked in one go, and you simply slice them up into squares. Everyone can eat at the same time, you’re not standing over a pan for an hour, or you can store them and reheat them during the week. There is no downside to this recipe!

34. Flatout Jam Pancake Sandwich

A jam sandwich is an iconic British lunch, but I’ve transformed it into a breakfast food fit for the rest of the world! Using flatout bread smeared with jam, you then fold it and smear it again, before frying it up and pouring over the ‘batter’ on both sides while in the pan. Confused? You’ll just have to try it out and see!

35. Mini Protein Waffles

Combining waffles with protein makes me so happy because it makes these dessert-style breakfasts a much more sustainable option for breakfast. We need a bit of protein to fuel our body in the mornings, and often waffles and pancakes are just loaded with refined carbs. This recipe just goes ahead and throws in protein powder to ramp up that protein content, so it’s much higher than just from the eggs and Greek yogurt.

And I’ll leave you with the full recipe for my Blueberry Maple Breakfast Bake.
