[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Me! I'm also a vegetarian and am finding new plan to be so much more better for me. I made "Super-Easy Slow Cooker Three Bean Chili" from the WW app and it's really good, filling, and 0 points![/quote]

Sounds good! I will have to check that out. Are there any other recipes you recommend?[/quote]

minestrone soup--stock, lots of vegetables, white beans, herbs and spices are all 0 points. Points if you want to add pasta or parmesan cheese or pesto to it. Or lentil soup--I've been eating carrot/red lentil/ginger soup this week and it's good--the lentils mush up and thicken the soup a lot.

shakshusha--cook peppers and onions in crushed tomatoes (I like to add red pepper flakes to make it spicy), then crack an egg or two into the sauce and cook them. Points if you want to add feta cheese or a pita.

bibimbap--yes the rice has points but adding tofu (or certain meats) and vegetables and an egg and kimchi is all 0, and you don't need much rice.

You can also do cava-style bowls with chickpeas or lentils and vegetables (I like shredded red cabbage slaw with lemon juice and za'atar) and make a sauce for it with plain yogurt and spices--if you want to add a little tahini or cheese or whatever it's still low points.

or taco bowls with black and pinto beans seasoned with cumin and lime juice, peppers, onions, whatever other vegetables you want, and salsa. A couple corn tortillas or some rice or avocado or cheese add points, but not that many.

egg salad with carrots and celery and use greek yogurt instead of mayo (or instead of most of the may). this works for tuna and chicken salad too (I put a spoonful of chopped pickles in sometimes too). There are many breads, wraps, etc that are pretty low points.

egg and banana pancakes: http://www.geniuskitchen.com/recipe/2-ingredients-eggs-banana-pancakes-501408

oatmeal with skim milk or yogurt (I make the oatmeal with just water and kind of thick, then stir in yogurt) and a lot of fruit or some canned pumpkin and pumpkin pie spice. Adding cinnamon or vanilla makes it feel sweeter so I add less sugar.

air-popped popcorn is low points unless you add lots of butter.

if you have a food processor, you can make veggie patties with beans, eggs, and vegetables--it adds points, but a little flour or oats to hold it together helps. [/quote]
