Weight Watchers Green Plan Instant Pot Recipes
What many people don’t know about me, is that in the summer of 2018 I joined a Weight Watchers group in England.
They were all very friendly and made me feel so welcome. Though I never planned to return, I just wanted the Weight Watchers books so that I could follow it along at home.
You see home for me in the Milner house is in the sunny Algarve in southern Portugal and Weight Watchers won’t allow me to even be an online member from my location. Which is such a shame.
I must have a UK address which has not been my home for more than a decade.
But I am sure I am not the only one that follows Weight Watchers at home with books, or just reads recipes online for the best Weight Watchers friendly recipes for them.
One of my readers is in a similar boat and resides in sunny Cyprus. She personally asked me which of my instant pot recipes and air fryer recipes were Weight Watchers friendly.
That’s why I decided to put a series together of Weight Watchers Instant Pot Recipes + Weight Watchers Air Fryer Recipes.
Though I am starting the series today with Weight Watchers Green Plan Instant Pot Recipes.
What Is Weight Watchers Green Plan?
Weight Watchers Green Plan is one of three new daily points plans you can follow on Weight Watchers that was introduced in late 2019.
There is the WW green plan which carries JUST 100 zero point foods.
Then there is the blue plan which allows you to have 200 zero points foods freely and finally the purple plan which provides you with 300 zero point foods to choose from.
The smaller the food points choice the more your daily Weight Watchers points will be.
The Weight Watchers Green Plan is EASY to follow because it is made up of fruits and vegetables.
It is a great way to get more fruit and vegetables into your diet and follow along at home. It is also the focus of todays collection of instant pot weight watchers recipes.
