Weight Watchers Smart Ones Review ~ #SmartOnesReview

Weight Watcher Smart Ones

Recently I was given the opportunity to try two of the new Weight Watchers Smart Ones Satisfying Selections. I’ve tried the regular Smart Ones before and while they were good I was still hungry after I finished them. I felt like they could use just a little bit more and they would be perfect. Obviously the point of eating a Smart One would be to control your calorie intake without feeling deprived. I get that you wouldn’t expect a huge meal from a diet food but I thought there should be a slightly bigger portion. Maybe it could work like a step down from your regular meals and then you could move onto the regular sized Smart Ones after you had gotten used to a smaller meal. Someone at Weight Watchers must have read my mind because that’s basically what the Satisfying Selections does for you.

The Satisfying Selections are 30% larger portions with heartier pieces of meat and vegetables. Perfect for a more satisfying dinner. Each entree is less than 400 calories and if you are following the Weight Watchers points plan they are between 8 – 10 points each. I love that they each have 25 grams of protein leaving you  more satisfied and feeling full longer. The Satisfying Selections meals come in a bag instead of a box and can be prepared in either the microwave or a stove top. They would be easy to take to work or eat at home.

There are 5 flavors to choose from. They include

  • Sesame Chicken
  • Chicken & Broccoli Alfredo
  • Ziti with Meatballs & Cheese
  • Chicken with Broccoli & Cheese
  • Chicken Teriyaki Stir Fry
  • I selected the Sesame chicken and the Chicken with Broccoli & Cheese. Both of the entrees I tried exceeded my expectations. They were very flavorful. I used the microwave for both. It takes roughly 5 minutes from start to finish because you need to let it rest for a minute after it finishes cooking. I was a little worried about the rice cooking all the way through. It has been my experience in the past that rice doesn’t really cook all the way through in the microwave. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it did and it tasted good. Another thing I’ve found in frozen meals is that what ever sauce is included never seems to be enough. That was not the case with either of the choices I made. Both were very flavorful and I didn’t feel like I was eating a diet food. Over all if I were looking to easily monitor my calorie intake while eating healthy fiber filled meats and vegetables I would definitely choose Weight Watchers Smart Ones Satisfying Selections again. Sometimes prepackaged food can get expensive quickly. The listed price at my local Walmart was $3.69 which is the suggested retail price from Weight Watchers. It’s cheaper than buying a value meal at your local hamburger place and better for you too. If you haven’t tried Smart Ones in awhile I’d recommend trying them again. They just might surprise you at how filling and tasty they are.
