Weight Watchers Sweet Hazelnut Latte smoothie


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?

  1. 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?

    PS Love the blog and amazing progress! I'm leaving feeling inspired!

    1. 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.

      Thank you! I wish you many successes along your journey as well!
