Easy High Protein Weight Watchers Meals
Day Two of easy high protein weight watchers meals that taste delicious and take minimal effort.
Eating enough veggies is always a strugle, but if you are playing along, yesterday I ate 14 Weight Watchers points around 1400 calories and today I ate 25 points at 1420 calories. The only difference is that yesterday I ate more zero point foods, and today I didn’t. And that’s okay in my book because it all balances out.
On today’s menu:
Breakfast: Yogurt Parfait
Typically I am not a fan of plain nonfat Greek yogurt, but by stirring in vanilla protein smoothie powder, the yogurt almost tasted like pudding to me, but not overly sweet. I use Flavcity protein smoothie mix because it never irritates my stomach like other protein powders on the market. By now I think I’ve tried most of them on the market. My code Bizzy15 saves 15% off your order if you haven’t checked their products out yet.
This parfait is 6 Weight Watchers points. If you count calories or macros: 325 calories, 6 fat, 28 carbs, 3 fiber and 42 protein.

- 1/3 cup fresh strawberries, diced
- 15 grams granola
Instructions
- Whip the Greek yogurt with the protein powder until incorporated.
- Add to bowl, top with strawberries and yogurt.
- That's it!

Lunch: protein macaroni and cheese and crispy chicken
While my Mom made a mean macaroni and cheese, growing up it wasn’t uncommon for us to have Kraft macaroni and cheese on hand. And when I was babysitting, it was the number one meal that kids requested I make. Simple Truth came out with a new protein macaroni and cheese and it reminds me of Kraft in the best way possible, and adds 14 grams of protein. With my crispy chicken on the side, lunch is 544 calories, 11 fat, 57 carbs, 8 fiber and 52 grams of protein.

- 1/8 cup Italian bread crumbs

Dinner: Ramen with Beef and Veggies
Mike’s Mighty Good Ramen is a great pantry staple for me. It’s quick, easy and since I meal prepped a sirloin tip roast earlier in the week, this soup came together in under 10 minutes. Feel free to use your favorite veggies in this soup. I bought a stir fry mix that I chopped up that included peapods, broccoli, carrots and cabbage. There is no need to add the beef to the soup ahead of time. Simply slice from the fridge (I cooked my beef rare/medium rare) and the hot broth will warm it up and the beef won’t be overcooked.
Beef Ramen
I love having Mike's Mighty Good Ramen in my pantry for a quick and delicious lunch or dinner. This bowl is 58 grams of protein!
Ingredients
- 1 container of Mike's Mighty Good Ramen
- 1 cup chicken bone broth
- 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon chili oil
- 1 cup non-starchy vegetables
- 2 ounces extra firm tofu
- 4 ounces diced lean beef
Instructions
- Cook the noodles:
Open the ramen container and prepare the noodles according to package directions, cooking in hot water while you prepare the broth and vegetables. - Prepare the broth & veggies:
In a small pot, add the chicken bone broth, sesame oil, and chili oil. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Add the vegetables and tofu, and cook for about 4 minutes, or until the veggies are tender-crisp. - Assemble the bowl:
Place the diced beef into a serving bowl (do not cook it directly in the broth to prevent overcooking). - Combine:
Add the ramen noodles from the container and add them to the pot with the broth and vegetables. Stir gently, then carefully pour the hot noodle/broth mixture over the beef in the serving bowl. The heat from the broth will warm the beef to a tender, medium-rare temperature without drying it out. - Serve:
Stir lightly to combine, taste for seasoning, and enjoy your high protein, satisfying ramen.
Notes
This bowl is 8 Weight Watchers points. If you count calories or macros: 561 calories, 15 fat, 48 carbs, 5 fiber and 58 grams protein.

New Here?
If you are new here, welcome to My Bizzy Kitchen! I started this blog 17 years ago to document my recipes and daily life, never imagining it would one day become my full-time career. After losing my husband nearly 10 years ago, I navigated the hardest chapter of my life while still finding joy in cooking and sharing my journey.
In December 2020, I took a leap of faith and left my 30-year career as a legal secretary to pursue My Bizzy Kitchen full-time, a decision that changed my life.
Two years later, in October 2022, I was able to hire my daughter, Hannah, full-time, which brings me so much joy. Now, My Bizzy Kitchen is more than just recipes. It’s about embracing life, finding balance, and making healthy living sustainable and fun.
