It’s not always easy to find Weight Watchers lunch recipes. Luckily, I’ve done the legwork for you and promise you’ll be more than satisfied with this list.
Lunch can be especially tricky while following Weight Watchers because the last thing you want to do is cook in the middle of a hectic day.
So, fast food becomes a siren for an easy and cheap fix.
But with these 25 Weight Watchers lunch recipes, you’ll be left feeling pretty smug, knowing how many points you’ve saved.
1. Burrito Bowl
This recipe creates a lovely, warm bowl of yummy goodness.
Clocking in at only 3-8 SmartPoints (depending on the plan you’re following), this is one delish dish that won’t break the bank.
Each serving provides around two cups of food, giving you a lot of bang for your buck. In addition, it will keep you full and satisfied for a busy day ahead.
2. Taco Turkey Lettuce Wrap
One of my favorite health hacks is replacing tortillas with lettuce. Not only does it add a little fresh crunch, but it takes away loads of calories.
These taco turkey lettuce wraps are a hit at any time of the day but make an excellent light lunch.
Using ground turkey instead of beef also saves you on calories too, which means you can eat more for fewer points.
That sounds like a win in my book!
3. Thai Chicken Weight Watchers
This recipe makes it so easy to spice up your day.
It may be ingredient-heavy, but the payoff is oh-so-worth-it. Best of all, it’s a sheet pan recipe, so you can just load up a tray then bake.
This is an excellent dish to meal prep ahead of time when you’re looking for a healthy recipe for weekday lunches.
4. Weight Watchers Chicken Pineapple Stir-Fry
I love pineapple on everything, so this recipe is always at the top of my light lunch list.
It’s insanely easy to prep, and the result tastes so darn good.
This Chinese-restaurant staple comes together in just over 20 minutes but tastes like it came from your favorite carry-out joint.
Each serving only counts for 5 SmartPoints, so go ahead and indulge in seconds.
5. WW Teriyaki Chicken Sheet Pan Recipe
I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again: sheet pan recipes are fantastic.

Best of all, the cleanup is super easy since it uses minimal dishes.
This teriyaki chicken sheet pan recipe is the perfect example that’s quick, easy, and super tasty.
6. Easy Chicken Corn Chowder
If you’re looking for a homestyle soup to soothe the soul, you’re in luck!
This easy chicken corn chowder is the perfect hearty comfort food and only uses 6-8 SmartPoints per serving.
The secret to creating this creamy dish is only using 2% milk and cream-style corn as a base.
Each bite is rich in flavor, with a silky texture that will have you going back for seconds.
And unlike like many thick and creamy soups, it doesn’t need a slow cooker. Instead, it’ll be on the table in around 40 minutes.
