I resumed Weight Watchers last Fall. Since then, I’ve been searching for new recipes, so my family and I don’t get tired of the same old low fat recipes and fall back into old habits!
Today I will be sharing five easy low carb ideas for recipes, which also have low smart points on weight watchers and one full recipe to get you started:
Low Carb Lettuce Taco Boats
Ingredients
1 pound ground beef 95% lean
1 tbsp EVOO
Garlic and Onion to taste
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 Tbsp Cumin
1 Tbsp Coriander
1 diced Pepper
Lettuce
1 diced tomato
Vegan Shredded Cheese
Preparation
On a skillet, heat the EVOO and sautée onions and garlic, add beef and season with cumin and coriander. Cook until light brown or until water has dried from the skillet.
While Beef is cooking, dice pepper, tomato and cut lettuce in “boats”
Place lettuce, cooked beef, pepper, tomato and cheese to finish!
So easy and so good, isn’t it?
Each boat is just 5 Smart Points for 3 oz of ground beef per boat.
Here are other low carb recipe options:
CauliFlower Rice
Use cauliflower rice instead of rice, cuts your dinner dish points in 5 and add that delicious veggie boost to any meal!
Zucchini Noodles
I recently received a Ninja which does the spiral cut, so making zucchini noodles and spaghetti squash has been a lot easier and cheaper for me! I also use Zucchini to substitute for lasagna noodles as well.
Hot Salads
I know, you’re thinking a salad won’t fill you up for dinner, right? WRONG! You can add a warm piece of meat to your salad and make it a filling low carb dish in the winter or any time you wish!
I love cutting steak tips and topping mixed greens or spinach with that! I make my own avocado dressing, sooooo good! Click here for the RECIPE.
Also boneless and skinless chicken, baked or sautéed and chopped on top of it or if you’re vegetarian, bake vegetarian chicken nuggets or buffalo wings and chop them small over lettuce, mixed greens or spinach, I love the Morning Star brand! I’ve bought their products for over 6 months and this week, I was so happy to partner with them in sharing the products I love with my community!
Replacing Bread
I’m like Oprah! I loooove bread! But I learned to replace it at my dinner table for example with zucchini sticks or zucchini/cauliflower pizza crusts! Grab the recipe HERE!
Or super easy Zucchini Chips:
I hope my low carb recipes will help you, as much as they’ve helped my family keep our commitment to live a healthier life!

My family has been enjoying Morning Star Farms for, well, I think over 10 years now or more! I buy a lot of their products and I am glad to see more and more of them now days. I love their crumbles for things like the taco boat! Which by the way looks amazing!
We just had tacos the other night and I was saying I hated how many carbs are in a tortilla. This is a great low carb option for me!
My husband and I were just talking about wanting to find some low carb recipes. These couldn’t have come at a better time. We’ll be sure to include them in our upcoming meal plans.

These all look so delicious. Adding the lettuce boats to next week’s menu for sure. Happy Weekend!
I’m all about the low carb these days and it’s the only way I’m able to have balance in my diet. The zoodles have been my favorite lately and I can easily make them for myself and the regular noodles for my fam!
All great ideas and I am so interested in trying zucchini noodles. Cauliflower rice is also something I have not yet made but would like to eat regularly
