Weight Watchers Blue Plan Instant Pot Recipes

Last week I shared with you our Weight Watchers Green Plan Instant Pot Recipes and today is the turn for the ultimate list of weight watchers blue plan instant pot recipes.

Especially, geared for peoplethat follow the WW blue plan and want weight watchers recipes that are 100%blue.

Out of the Weight Watchers green, blue and purple plans, I am most impressed with the blue plan.

That is because many people (myself included) suffer a lot from bloating.

Potatoes and grains are my biggest problem food and beans is fine if I have it in moderation.

Yet if I follow the blue plan on WW I can enjoy a good mix of foods without getting depressed that my weight loss has slowed down.

What IsWeight Watchers Blue Plan?

Firstly, I am sure you are wonderingwhat on earth the blue plan on Weight Watchers is all about, so let me give youthe shortened version.

On WW there are 3 popular plansthat were launched in the November of 2019. The green plan, the blue plan andthe purple plan.

The green plan gives you 100 free foods, the blue plan gives you 200 and the purple plan gives you 300.

They are all healthy foods that depending on the plan you choose you can have as many as you like without recording them.

Though it is assumed that nonewould be eaten to excess and that you would eat when you are hungry and stop whenyou are full.

While the WW green plan focuses on 100 fruits and vegetables (get a free green plan printable here), the blue plan gives you 100 more foods that focus on everyday cooking.

This includes beans, pulses, lean poultry, eggs, fish and seafood, fat free dairy and tofu. Though it is covered in more detail if you scroll down.
