Easy Weight Watchers Fruit Yogurt Parfait only 4 Points Plus
Healthy food can taste great! Like this easy Weight Watchers Yogurt Parfait Recipe that is only 4 points plus! Great for breakfast, snacks, or dessert!
I was given a free one-month subscription to Weight Watchers to try their new Simple Start plan and write about my experience. Though I was compensated for my time and commitment, all views, positive and negative, are my own. Especially concerning the Weight Watchers Yogurt Parfait Recipe. Yum!
This Weight Watchers Yogurt Parfait recipe originally published January 20, 2014. It has been updated for your convenience.
When people think about changing their diet to become healthier, they often don’t think of food that tastes great. Normally they think of bland foods, full of vegetables, and blah meals.
But being healthy doesn’t have to taste boring! You can easily create a healthy and delicious breakfast or snack, or even dessert!
Many have raved about the great flavor of our Weight Watchers Chicken Parmesan recipe. A great balanced dinner for those looking to be healthier.
But right now, I want to tell you about a simple Breakfast and snack option, the Weight Watchers Yogurt Parfait!
Creating a healthy Weight Watchers Yogurt Parfait
The Weight Watchers, Simple Start app gives an option for a Yogurt Sundae. This is fat-free plain Greek yogurt with strawberries and shredded wheat. It looked so amazing I had to give it a try.
But I do it a little differently. I begin with fat-free vanilla yogurt, fresh blueberries, and sliced strawberries. This version is actually in the snacks of the Simple Start app. Pretty cool right? It can double as a snack, breakfast, or even a dessert, depending on what you pair with it.
But I don’t stop there. I add some crumbled sugar-free shredded wheat. This is a brilliant idea from Weight Watchers! It adds in that desirable crunch. But unlike adding in granola; you aren’t adding extra sugar or fat. Just extra fiber!
If you prefer, you could also use Ezekial cereals on top. Another great high fiber option with a crunch without adding sugar. And we all know fiber is important when you don’t want to be starving in just an hour.
Oh, but what if you are having a sweet craving? I don’t know why, but mornings and late nights are when I have my worst sugar cravings. Odd for the mornings right? So how do you combat an early morning sweet treat craving?
Well, the Weight Watchers Simple Start app lets us know that you can have 7 Points Plus values per day of indulgences. My favorite indulges is the dark chocolate! 1 oz dark chocolate is worth 4 Points Plus.
So a great way to curb my sweet treat cravings in the morning is to add a little Dark chocolate indulgence to my weight watchers yogurt parfait. I add 0.5 oz dark chocolate chips to sweeten up my breakfast yogurt parfait. This way I can keep the other half ounce for later in the day, and save my last 3 points plus of indulgences for my late night snack or treat. It’s just what works best for me.

If you are thinking about signing up for Simple Start or Weight Watchers plan; I say go for it! Take advantage of the recipes they offer until you get comfortable calculating your own points. Use the food tracking apps. I am usually really bad at tracking my food. But I know that would help me be more accountable. So I definitely recommend that.
Mostly if you are looking to trade in a tired, feeling old, no energy, and grumpy you for a healthier, happier, more energetic you; the Weight Watchers Simple Start app is perfect! The Weight Watchers plan is brilliantly designed with great tasting food to help you change how you cook and feed your entire family.

What a great start to your day. So delicious and so easy to make!
Those yogurt parfaits look amazing. I have been having a hard time finding berries that are sweet lately. Every time I buy some they are kinda sour, but look so delicious. UGH
The yogurt Parfait looks so delicious.. And it is healthy to eat too which is amazing. It helps you to stay on track with your weight and that is an added bonus! Good to know 🙂 Great pictures!
hard to believe that it’s approved by WW’s–it looks too good LOL–I think I would really enjoy the yogurt parfait–thanks for sharing 🙂
Yum! This looks and sounds delicious. What a great way to indulge in a sweet treat that is still healthy for you.
ok that’s it i want back on Weight watchers now i so need to get back
That Weight Watchers Yogurt Parfait looks so good. I just ate lunch and it is making me want to eat again. Hate when that happens.
What a great idea, adding the shredded wheat! Looks delicious!
This sounds fantastic! I have bought things like this premade at the grocery store, but I am sure it’s a lot healthier to make it myself 🙂
This looks great and love that it works well in WW point program.
Love yogurt parfaits – this one looks so yummy
This looks absolutely delicious! YUM!!!!
This looks so yummy! My NYE resolution was to eat healthier and lose weight. Thanks for sharing I will certainly try it!
Mmm, looks so yummy! I love yogurt parfaits! I bet you could toast some oatmeal in the oven to replace the shredded wheat for a gluten-free version.
That’s a weight watchers item? Ok then! I love the addition of the blueberries especially. That’s all I would need!
I did not know shredded wheat came in a sugar free variety–that is really good to know! I do love Greek Yoghurt and often will put some fresh berries in especially in the summertime. Adding the shredded wheat sounds like a great addition.
Those look amazing, I need to find yogurts that are soy based so I can make these. I try to do greek yogurt every now and then but yogurt and I just do not like each other.
oh that yogurt looks great. I love yogurt I always have some in my fridge or freezer.
Oh, Amber! These look so good. I’m sighing here and wishing yet again that there were Weight Watchers in Ecuador.
I’ve thought about joining weight watchers but I don’ think i’d be able to follow the meal plans =/ that yogurt parfait looks good though.
It’s wonderful that you are still on track with your new healthy lifestyle. Keep up the great work
This looks good and I’m sure yummy – love yogurt!
This looks like a delicious way to enjoy a treat that doesn’t have a lot of calories and can be good for you.
These look so good, plus my fav cereal is in it! Weight watchers is amazing!
They just started having Weight Watchers meetings once a week at my work. Unfortunately my husband is laid off at this time so money is too tight. As soon as he is back to work, I will be joining! Oh, and your pics are GORGEOUS!
This looks so tasty and great that its low calories i would love to have this every morning 🙂
Oh, this looks lovely. A perfect start to a day.
Wow, that is a surprising twist. I will try this with my kids. Thanks for sharing.

I won’t say no to a parfait! I loved eating parfait, one of my favorite and to add fruits, yum!
Ok, that is beautiful and looks very yummy right now, especially the berries!
I like the idea of the shredded wheat in there for the extra crunch!
Those look totally delicious! I love Weight Watchers and will be getting on track this year for sure!
I used weight watchers on line once and I loved it. I didn’t realize they had an app. Their Parfait looks absolutely delicious and I will look for it next time I am in the store.
Yumyum! I love yogurt parfaits and usually buy them but now I can make my own. They are such an energy booster and not only good for you but great for the kids too.
I love making yogurt parfait. I need to try it with the shredded wheat on it.
I absolutely love yogurt. This looks delicious. I could eat this everyday.
