Sticking to a healthy diet doesn’t mean you have to skip the snacks. But choosing the right snacks is just as important as making smart choices at meals.
To help make sure your snacks aren’t adding on the pounds, try eating one of these 10 low-point Weight Watchers snacks for a guilt-free day.
1. Baked Buffalo Chicken Taquitos (3 points)

2. Deviled Eggs With Truffle Salt (2 points)
Hard-boiled eggs make a great, healthy snack, but they can taste boring on their own. These eggs are deviled with just a little bit of mayonnaise and both Dijon and yellow mustard, giving them a nice kick of flavor. Plus, a little truffle salt adds a gourmet touch.
