Weight Watchers Recipes

Here are all the recipe that I have made or changed to make them a little more Weight Watchers Friendly.

More recipes will be added often.

Berry Sorbet recipe
Note:  0 ProPoints if using sugar alternative (12PP if you use real sugar) 

 (makes 4-8 serves) - it make nearly a whole loaf tin full of sorbet

Ingredients:
1 punnet raspberries 
1 punnet blueberries
1 punnet karakaberries (cross of a boysenberry and blackberry)
1 -  2 cups water
1/2 cup white sugar  or equivalent of a sugar alternative (like stevia)
Lime zest for taste

Method:
  • Place berries in saucepan on moderate heat, add sugar, stir until it disolves. All the berries will release their juices 
  • Add one cup of water and let boil for 10 minutes
  • I added the 2nd cup of water here and took off the heat to steep. 
  • Let cool for an hour (do this before you blend or you kitchen will be covered in berry mix) Trust me! It makes quite a mess!
  • Blend using a blender for a minute
  • Use a sieve to remove the seeds. I poured the mix back into the saucepan.
  • Place in a non stick loaf tin. 
  • Place in the freezer and regularly use a fork to break it up to a slushie sort of consistency. 
  • It takes a few hours. 
  • If yours goes to solid break it up and put into a blender with a tablespoon of boiling water.
What it looks like while freezing, don't forget to break it up with a fork or you will end up with a solid block.
Serve in a nice glass with a mint garnish. (generous serves)

½  Cup   Wholemeal   Flour
1   Teaspoon   Baking   Powder
1 tablespoon CSR smart Sugar
Few drops of vanilla Extract
¼ Teaspoon Cinnamon
Pinch of salt
½ cup of skim milk
1 whole banana (1/2 mashed ½ sliced)
Teaspoon of olive oil or 1 spray of spray oil
You will need two bowls; one for wet ingredients and one for dry. Place all dry ingredients in one bowl and mix well.  Mash the banana in the other bowl and ass the skim milk. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ones and stir well; until all ingredients are combined.

Heat the frypan to medium (I used my portable pan), spray with oil and heat. Place four spoons of the pancake batter into the fry pan and allow them to sit for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles form along the edges of the pancake and the pancake will be firm. Flip and cook for another 2 -3 minutes. Take out of the pan and place on a plate; add the sliced part of the banana on top and drizzle with honey.
