10+ Weight Watchers breakfast ideas - 5 points and below!

Yes, we get tired of eating eggs but they are an easy breakfast a lot of days o  Weight Watchers. I like to make frittatas with almond milk (low points) on the weekends for a quick grab and go breakfast. They are usually 0-2 points depending on what I put in them. Freestyle friendly!

But sometimes...you want something else, something that isn't eggs! Here are 10+ ideas for 5 or fewer points and no eggs!

**update: I originally wrote this post when WW was on the Freestyle plan, which is now the blue plan. If you are following green or purple plans, check your points.

1) Avocado Toast

I might be a millennial because I love this. To make it Freestyle-friendly, I use a 2 slices of 1 point bread, such as Aldi's light and fit wheat, and weigh out 2oz of avocado (3pts). I put 1 oz on each slice. Normally, half an avocado is 1.75-2.5oz.

A dash of salt on top is nice too.

Total: 5 points

2) Toast with powdered peanut butter

Avocado isn't ripe yet? Well, you can also use peanut butter powder on your toast! My favorite kind is PBfit but I have tried a bunch of different kinds. Put 3 tbsp of powdered peanut butter (mixed up with water per the directions on the package) on 2 pieces of toasted 1 point bread.

I also like to add a dash of salt or cinnamon on top. You can also add banana or apple slices for no additional points. Sometimes I will also only have 1 piece of toast with peanut butter and a banana (3 point version, shown above).

Total: 4 points

3) Peanut butter banana wrap

Use a 2 point wrap, such as Aldi's light & fit multigrain flatbread, and spread 2 tbsp of powdered peanut butter (mixed with water into peanut butter). Slice half of a banana and layer on top of your peanut butter, sprinkle with a little cinnamon and roll it up. I eat the rest of the banana as a morning snack. You can also do this with apples.

Total: 3 points

4) Cheese pretzels slims

This is not a very traditional breakfast food but for me, if you eat it in the morning, it's breakfast. So think outside the box!

Take 1 wedge of light cheese, such as light laughing cow, and spread it on 32 pretzel crisps. You will probably not have enough cheese for all of them but the extras make a good snack on their own.

Total: 3 points

5) Pumpkin muffins

Do yourself a favor and prep a batch of these pumpkin muffins, eat some and keep the rest in your freezer for busy mornings. You can have 2 muffins for 3 points and there's no artificial sugar.

Total: 3 points

6) Peanut butter pancakes

I make these peanut butter pancakes usually for breakfast on Sunday and the have the leftovers the next day. I eat them plain without syrup a lot of times, especially when leftover but you could also mix up some peanut butter powder that's extra thin as a drizzle or dip (extra point for 2 Tbsp of powder). You can have 2 pancakes for 4 points.

Total: 4 points

7) Breakfast Sandwich

Don't start dreaming of McMuffins, but this Weight Watchers version isn't too shabby. Take one light English muffin and toast it, smear on a wedge of light cheese (light laughing cow or similar) and add a couple of slices of deli turkey or ham (check the point value of this, you need something that is 1pt for up to 2oz but there are lots of options). Voila - breakfast sandwich.

You *could* put an egg on this, if you wanted but I promised no eggs.

Total: 4 points

8) Cheese and an apple

Two pieces of light string cheese and apple slices. Cheese also pairs well with grapes. Plus this a grab and go option.

Total: 3 points

9) Almond Milk Crepes


Don't hear "crepes" and think "this is too fancy, I cannot make this!" because you definitely can. Crepes are basically flat pancakes but also a blank canvas for topping with delicious things. These are definitely a meal-prep item, here is the recipe.

The recipe page has lots of low-point ideas for topping them, check it out for many options! You can also eat them plain and they are quite good.

Shown below is a crepe topped with bananas and powdered peanut butter made into a drizzle (1pt crepe, 1 pt drizzle).

Total: 2 points for 2 crepes (toppings extra) 

10) Sausage veggie scramble

Take 3 turkey sausage links and dice them up. Spray a pan with cooking spray and saute the sausage with your choice of zero point veggies such as broccoli, peppers, onions, tomatoes, zucchini. Just about anything you have in your fridge! I add a little garlic salt for seasoning.

This isn't really a grab and go option, but can be prepped for a few days in advance. It's also good with avocado or cheese on top, for additional points.

Total: 2 points

11) Oatmeal

I could eat oatmeal every day of the week! Depending on how you make it, the points can vary a lot. I use 1/3 of dry quick oats (3pts blue) and I like to make it with unsweetened vanilla almond milk (1pt) or you can make it with water for zero. If you want a zero point sweetener, I like monkfruit but you can add what you prefer. I usually just toss some berries or banana slices in mine.

If you want to prep a little in advance, this baked oatmeal is delicious and you get a little more volume for your points.

Total: 4 points for either 1/3 cup oatmeal with almond milk or 1 serving of the baked oatmeal
