What's your favorite appetizer food? Mine is most definitely Mozzarella Sticks and these One WW Point Mozzarella Sticks really get the job done to satisfy that fried cheese craving without resulting in an extremely high point appetizer!
One Weight Watcher Point Mozzarella Sticks
Did you know that on average at your typical restaurant, one single mozzarella stick can range anywhere from 3-5 points...FOR ONE PIECE! That's crazy to me. I like to find the best bang for my buck in the sense of WW points. I would much rather find an alternative to a higher point item than eat the real thing at a much smaller portion size.
Because these mozzarella sticks use Shake n Bake for the breading, they are super easy to whip up any day of the week! From time to time I like to have an appetizer night at home and I always make these mozzarella sticks to include in my sampler. Some other great items to pair with it are my All Star Buffalo Chicken Wings or even our Pepperoni Pizza Pockets. Let's jump into just how to make these cheese sticks!
