Let us start by saying that the number one reason we refuse to go on a diet is that we can't imagine our life without dessert. We may be able to eat sensible meals of chicken and broccoli, but no power on this planet could get us to forgo our daily doses of chocolate. Maybe we have an addictive personality...or maybe we're just intensely passionate about anything sweet! That's why we love that Weight Watchers understands people like us. When we first learned about counting SmartPoints instead of traditional calories, our initial thought was, "There has to be a catch here!"
We waited for the PRINTED IN TINY LETTERS warning that #dessertnotincluded. But to our shock and awe, we can have our dessert and eat...well, watch our weight too! Seriously, where has WW been all our life? Of course, sticking to reasonable portion sizes and making smart swaps for lower SmartPoints ingredients is key. As much as we try to convince ourselves that we need a 10-serving dessert "just to taste it," we all know moderation is critical. But, OH MY GOODNESS, Weight Watchers desserts do not disappoint! We're talking fresh fruit, decadent chocolate, cheesecake, all the classics made lighter.
We can't wait for you to try these drool-worthy treats we've found and created. And hey, as long as you budget for it, there had better be something sweet after dinner or we're going to have some strong words! Just kidding...or are we?? Stick with us and we'll prove Weight Watchers desserts totally live up to the hype.
For the people who don't know what 'Weight Watchers' and 'SmartPoints' means, below is an overview for them.

What are Weight Watchers?
Weight Watchers is a weight loss program that has been around for over 50 years. The program is based on a points system, where each food is assigned a certain number of points based on its calorie and nutrient content.
What are SmartPoints?
The new SmartPoints system assigns points to foods based on their protein, fiber, and sugar content. This means that foods that are high in protein and fiber but low in sugar are given a lower point value than those that are high in sugar but low in protein and fiber.
The SmartPoints system makes it easier for dieters to make healthier choices and lose weight. There are many delicious recipes that fit within the SmartPoints system, including desserts!
So, that's all about them. Now let's see what are the best Weight Watchers desserts out there.
