Weight Watchers Freestyle 0 Point Memorial Day Party Menu

**This post contains affiliate links

Since Memorial Day is starting off summer in just a couple weeks, I want to get a head start and start planning our Memorial Day menu now since it will be here in no time. We will be hosting the party this year and I want our menu to be completely 0 points. The reason? I want to sample all the dishes that others will be bringing. And yes, that includes desserts – which always makes me happy.

Hopefully, some of these recipes will sound tasty enough for you to make or take to your summer get-together. I will include a grocery list for this menu. You can find the downloadable link at the bottom of the post. So, let’s see what the spread will be for this Weight Watchers Freestyle 0 Point Memorial Day Party Menu.

0 Point Weight Watchers Freestyle Appetizers

Marinated Italian Shrimp

2 Lbs. Large Shrimp, peeled and deveined (0 Points)

3 garlic cloves, minced (0 Points)

2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar (0 Points)

1/4 cup of tomato sauce (0 Points)

1 tsp. of red pepper flakes, more or less to taste

1 tsp. dried basil

1.5 tsp. onion powder

salt and cracked black pepper to taste

Skewers (These are the ones we use) Though if you do prefer to use bamboo skewers, you must soak them first before using.

DIRECTIONS:

1. Stir everything but the shrimp together thoroughly.
2. Add shrimp.
3. Marinate for 45 minutes to 1 hour (no longer).
4. Thread shrimp head and tail onto skewers and grill over medium heat until shrimp are cooked. About 2-3 minutes per side. Discard marinade.

This amount feeds about 4 people. Double or triple according to how many people will be attending. You can grill before guests arrive and keep at room temperature. Refrigerate any leftovers – but there won’t be.

Also, if you cannot find Kraft Fat Free Shredded Cheeses where you live, I got you covered. You can substitute the fat free cheese with a reduced fat Cheddar Cheese (one that is about 3 Points for 1/4 cup). Though, it will no longer be 0 points per serving, it will still be extremely low.

Also, you could easily skip the scallops and make the recipe using boneless grilled chicken breasts. You can also serve with the Sweet Fiery Pineapple Cucumber Salsa for 0 Points.

Overstuffed Zucchini Boats

This entire recipe is 0 Points. You can easily double or triple this recipe as well. Feel free to substitute the chicken and use cooked ground turkey or chicken breast. You can even use shrimp instead of chicken too. Also, you can use white meat rotisserie chicken to save time by not having to cook the chicken yourself.

I think this is a great party menu that you can use anytime, not just Memorial Day. I especially like that so much of it can be prepped ahead of time. If you want some foods to make that are kid friendly or for others that are not currently watching their weight, here is an awesome menu that is not just delicious but inexpensive too.

Below are some more 0 point or extremely low point recipes contained in previous posts that you can also use to add to your menu.

Items Mentioned In This Post

Items mentioned in this post are available on Amazon. If you want to purchase them, just clink on the link. If you do purchase an item, I will get a small percentage for recommending it at no cost to you:

Metal Kabob 17″ Skewers

Bamboo Skewers

Clear Plastic Tumblers – 9 oz

Vidalia Chop Wizard

Granulated Splenda

Nut Toaster

Although I did not mention the Vidalia Chop Wizard above, I find that it is a H-U-G-E time saver in the kitchen. I actually have 2 because either my husband or myself use it throughout the day. I got the second one because every time one of us looked for it, it was in the dishwasher. It is also easily kept in a drawer so it does not take up hardly any space in the kitchen.

I know you will enjoy all 7 of these recipes. I like them even more since they are all 0 points. This makes having a cocktail or a satisfying dessert even more enjoyable and I do not have to keep stopping to track my points.

Also, don’t forget, if you cannot find Kraft Fat Free Shredded Cheeses where you live, you can substitute the fat free cheese with a reduced fat Cheddar Cheese (one that is about 3 Points for 1/4 cup). Though, it will no longer be 0 points per serving, it will still be extremely low. I know my Canadian friends can’t find Kraft fat free shredded cheeses, but hopefully you can find a reduced fat cheese to use instead.

HERE is the downloadable shopping list for this entire menu so you can just print it so you can get in and out of the grocery store quickly.
