A couple weeks ago Weight Watchers launched a new smoothie
product to sell within Weight Watchers locations. When I spotted the Weight Watchers Sweet Hazelnut Latte, I
wanted to give it a try especially after my leader mentioned mixing it with her
coffee in the morning.
I quite enjoy the Weight Watchers smoothies. I’ve bought a
number of flavors over the years and have found some that I really love. They’re a great, quick source of protein – 7grams
per pack. What I like about them the most is they’re portable. I can either
make a blended drink at home or I can stuff a pouch in my purse, pour the
contents into a bottle of water, shake and I’m ready to go. I’ve had smoothies both ways, but I ideally enjoy
them the most when they’re blended with a bit of ice and if the flavor is
suitable – some fruit.
The Sweet Hazelnut Latte is smooth, creamy, and sweet with a
satisfying taste of hazelnut. Quite enjoyable, especially if you enjoy hazelnut
flavored drinks (coffees) or even desserts. I mixed my packet with water and
some coffee, added in 5 ice cubes and blended it up. It was perfect and since smoothies are not
something I guzzle down, it took a little while to drink which fully satisfied
me.
I feel this would be a very versatile addition to a coffee lover’s
life. You could add some to your coffee in the morning instead of using milk or
creamer. Since it does change the color
of the drink to a light muddy brown color, it’s passable. I don’t put much milk
or creamer in my coffee – just enough to slightly change the shade and this
will do the trick. I plan on experimenting with it to see how I enjoy it and
how much I can stretch it (by adding coffee to it, etc.). Overall this is definitely a 2 thumbs up
purchase for me!
QUESTION:
Have you tried the new Sweet Hazelnut Latte smoothie?
I just tried the WW Sweet Hazelnut Latte smoothie today at my meeting. It was so delicious that I decided to go ahead and buy a box. I think I'd like to try it with coffee. Do you just mix it into the hot coffee?
ReplyDeletePS Love the blog and amazing progress! I'm leaving feeling inspired!
Glad to hear you enjoyed it! I actually mixed it with room temp/cold coffee and had it iced. It's quite good. I would suggest maybe a tablespoon of the mix with hot coffee or if you like a really large hot coffee you could add half/the whole pack.
DeleteThank you! I wish you many successes along your journey as well!
I actually heated left over coffee, slowly added the ww hazlenut latte smoothie mix, mixing well, and reheated just a tad. Made the best hot drink.
DeleteThat sounds fabulous. I'm going to have to give that a try!
DeleteThanks Ladies this is good information. I will try this out with the coffee.
ReplyDeleteWhat fabulous progress you have made. You are an inspiration. Have you ever tried the hazelnut smoothie hot?
ReplyDeleteThank you! I have mixed it in with my coffee as "creamer" & it's not bad
