There’s a convenient way to add a big punch of flavour to any dish without reinventing the wheel: Reach for a condiment. Whether you’re a sriracha or mayo person, a squirt or scoop of your favourite sauce, dip, or spread can quickly make over a meal. And here’s some good news: at WeightWatchers® these add-ons won’t interfere with your weight loss efforts.
Many condiments are zero or low in Points, so you can easily mix-and-match. If you want an extra dollop of barbecue sauce or sour cream on your food, remember to track portion sizes when measuring out your condiments.
