Low-Point WW Cucumber Snack

 


Ingredients (Serves 2–4)

  • 2 medium cucumbers (sliced into rounds, half-moons, or spears)

  • ¼ cup shredded cheese (reduced-fat cheddar or your preferred variety)

  • 2 tablespoons bacon bits (regular, turkey, or plant-based)

  • Pinch of black pepper

  • Dash of Old Bay seasoning

  • Dash of Salad Supreme seasoning

  • 2 tablespoons avocado lime ranch dressing (store-bought light version or homemade with avocado, lime juice, and Greek yogurt)

Tools You’ll Need

  • Sharp knife

  • Cutting board

  • Mixing bowl

  • Measuring spoons

  • Spoon or spatula

How to Make It

Step 1: Slice the Cucumbers

Wash and dry the cucumbers, then slice them however you like—rounds, half-moons, or spears all work great. Place them in a mixing bowl.

Step 2: Add the Cheese

Sprinkle in ¼ cup of shredded reduced-fat cheese. It adds a creamy texture and a touch of indulgence, while keeping the SmartPoints under control.

Step 3: Mix in Bacon Bits & Seasonings

Add 2 tablespoons of bacon bits to the cucumbers. Then season with a pinch of black pepper, a dash of Old Bay, and a dash of Salad Supreme seasoning. These add bold flavor without the need for extra salt or fat.

Step 4: Drizzle with Dressing

Pour 2 tablespoons of avocado lime ranch dressing over the mixture. Toss everything gently until the cucumbers are evenly coated.

Pro Tip: Want to make your own lighter version? Blend a few tablespoons of mashed avocado with lime juice and plain non-fat Greek yogurt or a plant-based alternative. Creamy, tangy, and totally WW-friendly!

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

Give the bowl one last gentle mix, then serve immediately for peak crunch and flavor. Or refrigerate for later—just give it a quick toss before eating.

The No Name Dip

  The No Name Dip  – Alright so the other day I told you I would give you the recipe for the dip that I made for trivia night. According to Nick this dip has “no name”. So I have dubbed it the “no name dip”. Original, I know. This dip is super easy and cheap to make. It seriously only contains four ingredients. Four.  Ingredients: 16 oz sour cream (I know the one in the picture is two 8oz but that’s because the store I went to didn’t have the 16oz of the kind I like) Real bacon bits. Make sure they are real. I used fake ones one time and it was the WORST thing I have ever tasted. Shredded cheese. I prefer cheddar jack but I’m sure whatever kind you want to add would work. A dry ranch packet. They make different flavored ones but I would go with the original. How To Make The No Name Dip: Just mix all of that together and viola, your dip is done. It looks kind of like throw up but I promise it’s amazing. What I do is add the sour cream and then mix in the ranch. After...
