Never a big fan of some of the old Weight Watchers meals, I was pleasantly surprised when Weight Watchers came out with Smart Ones frozen meals. Among the great Weight Watchers Smart Ones are their Grilled Flatbreads, their pizzas and their Smart Ones Entrees. Each meal uses the freshest ingredients and you can choice from many options depending on your tastes and preferences.

My personal favorite Smart Ones entree is the Broccoli and Cheddar Roasted Potatoes. Like the name implies, this dinner has roasted russet potatoes topped with broccoli and cheddar cheese sauce. If you are big on potatoes, this makes a great dinner entree that is both filling and delicious. With 240 calories, 7 grams of fat, 4 grams of fiber and 5 Weight Watcher points, this meal along with another vegetable and/or salad makes for a great dinner.

Another one of my favorites is the Slow Roasted Turkey Breast Smart Ones Meal. This meal has two of my favorite foods, roasted turkey and mashed potatoes. Served with gravy, this meal has 210 calories, 7 grams of fat, 2 grams of fiber and is 4 Weight Watchers points. This too is a filling meal, especially served with more vegetables and/or salad.

One of the first Weight Watcher Smart Ones I tried was their Fruit Inspirations Orange Sesame Chicken. This delicious meal has breaded chicken and rice in an Orange Sesame sauce. This tasty meal has 320 calories, 8 grams of fat, 2 grams of sugar and is 7 Weight Watcher points. This point value is a little higher than some of the other dinners, but can still be supplemented with vegetables and/or a salad and is very tasty.

Fettuccine Alfredo is another personal favorite. Fettuccine comes with broccoli and a creamy parmesan sauce and has 240 calories, 3.5 grams of fat, 4 grams of fiber and 4 Weight Watchers points. This meal goes well with salad and/or vegetables.

Traditional lasagna with meat sauce is another Smart Ones favorite. This entree has 300 calories, 6 grams of fat, 5 grams of fiber and 6 Weight Watchers points. This entree because of its higher fiber content tends to make you feel fuller. Add a nice salad and you have a healthy delicious, filling meal.

Another favorite is the Smart Ones Meatloaf. This entree is served with garlic herb mashed potatoes and gravy. This is another great "comfort" food meal. There are 250 calories, 8 grams of fat and 3 grams of fiber in this meal. Again, you can supplement this entree with salad and /or more vegetables.

If you like flatbreads then I would recommend the Savory Steak and Ranch flatbread sandwich. It is filled with beef, peppers, onions and reduced fat mozzarella cheese. The sandwich has 300 calories, 8 grams of fat and 4 grams of fiber. This meal is worth 6 points.

Another good flatbread sandwich which has 290 calories, 6 grams of fat and 3 grams of fiber, while containing 6 points is the chicken marinara with mozzarella. This flatbread has chicken, bell peppers, sauce and reduced fat mozzarella.

These are just a few of my favorite Weight Watchers Smart Ones dinner entrees. There are many more available depending on where you live and what grocery stores carry them. These entrees are great for main meals or for filling in a couple of days a week when you don't want to or can't cook or are in a hurry. They are nutritious and proportioned for you. All you have to do is heat and eat!
