Lightened Up Brunch Recipe Roundup

Lightened Up Brunch Recipe Roundup

With Mother’s Day approaching, I know a lot of you are looking for tasty brunch recipes to show mom you care, so I put together this Lightened Up Brunch Recipe Roundup! You can treat your mom to a delicious homemade brunch while sticking to your healthy eating plan, and these lightened up, Weight Watchers-friendly recipes are a great place to start. This is a great post to bookmark and refer back to for other brunchy occasions like Easter, Christmas, Father’s Day, Bridal or Baby showers, when you have guests staying at your house, or just whenever you want to make brunch – who needs a special reason?

I split the recipes into a few categories below so it’s easy to find what you’re looking for and create a good balance. There’s some breakfast, some lunch, some sweet, some savory and of course, some desserts. I will try to update this at least once a year (if not more often) with new recipes to keep it fresh. Of course, there are tons of other recipes on my site, so if you want to peruse the entire list, check out my recipe index for more categories (including a full recipe listing under “all recipes”).
