This Weight Watchers red, white and blue cheesecake salad is the PERFECT dish for patriotic holidays like Memorial Day and 4th of July. There is nothing worse than going to a holiday gathering and realizing that EVERYTHING on the table is high in points. The best solution is to take some dishes you know are delicious Weight Watchers recipes that everyone will love and that will help you stay on track during the party.
Weight Watchers Red, White and Blue Cheesecake Salad
Fruit is such a great addition to spring and summer BBQs. I am a BIG fan of making red, white, and blue foods to accompany holidays! I used to make Patriotic Dipped Ice Cream Sandwiches…but now I will make this healthier dessert!
This Weight Watchers Red, White and Blue Cheesecake Salad is a cool, refreshing treat on a hot day….I will be sitting around fanning myself with adorable DIY patriotic fans…and eating some guilt-free dessert, LOL!
How to Make Weight Watchers Red, White and Blue Cheesecake Salad
- Get a medium bowl and add the softened cream cheese. Use a hand mixer or a stand mixer (my favorite, LOL) and whip the cream cheese until it is silky smooth. 🙂 No worries if it starts to bind up in the beaters…. keep mixing, and it will loosen up eventually.
- Once the cream cheese is smooth, add the dry pudding mix and beat it until they are well combined.
- Now it is time to add in the creamer. Turn the mixer to low and add the creamer SLOWLY. I like to do about a tablespoon at a time and mix it well…till the mixture is smooth before adding another tablespoon. It is a pain to do it so slowly, but it will result in a smoother, prettier mixture! Keep at it until you have added all of the creamer and the mixture is whipped smooth.
- Stick this mixture into the refrigerator for now.
- Now grab your fruit and peel and slice the bananas into a bowl. Pour the lemon juice over the bananas and stir them, so they are nicely coated. Pour any extra lemon juice out of the bowl.
- Slice the strawberries or cut them into small chunks…your preference.
- Add the strawberries and blueberries and stir the fruit around.
- Grab the cheesecake mixture and fold it gently into the fruit.
- Keep this delicious salad refrigerated until ready to serve.
Decorating is So Fun!
I really enjoy putting out a few patriotic-themed decor items for Memorial Day and then leaving them up until after July 4th.
Antique Farmhouse has a delightful Americana Decor section…with the cutest stuff! I love that these are items I haven't seen anywhere else!! A little hint…their stuff SELLS out, so if you see something you want…grab it, or it may be gone!
What do you put out for the patriotic holidays?
WEIGHT WATCHERS POINTS
This recipe can vary a little bit in size depending on the size of your fruit!! Mine came out to about 8 cups worth of yummy. I thought about making the serving size 1/2 cup, and you definitely can—that will take the points down to only 2 points per 1/2 cup. Knowing that 1/2 cup probably won't be enough for me, I made the serving size 1 cup for 4 points for all 3 myWW plans–blue, green and purple.
On the current Weight Watchers Program (2023), it is 5 points per serving. The serving size is one cup.
Be sure to figure out the recipe based on how much yours makes since fruit varies in size so much!!
Let me know how your party goes!
- 8 ounce fat free cream cheese–softened
- 1 ounce package sugar-free cheesecake flavored pudding mix
- 1 cup fat-free French vanilla creamer
- 1 pound strawberries–cut into small chunks or slices
- 2 6 ounce containers blueberries
- 4 large bananas
- Juice of one lemon

This made about 8 cups for me. Be sure to figure the recipe based on how much you get because fruit does vary in size a lot. If you do 1 cup servings then it is 4 points per serving on all 3 myWW Plans–green, blue and purple. You could also do 1/2 cup servings for 2 points.
On the current Weight Watchers Program (2023), it is 5 points per serving. The serving size is one cup.

In this recipe, is the fat free French vanilla creamer powder or liquid from the dairy case?
Liquid
Thinking of substituting pineapples for the bananas. Any thoughts?
I think it would taste great…but it may add extra liquid so I would try to get as much liquid out of the pineapple as you can. Let me know how it turns out! I love the flavor of pineapple.
Are you sure it is 3.4 oz of sugar free cheesecake pudding mix? All I can find is 1 oz packages so I bought a few and made this with them and it was just a ball of cookie dough basically. Disaster. I remade it with just one 1 oz package and it turned out perfect. Might want to update the recipe. The regular, no. Sugar free packages say 3.4 oz but sugar free is 1 oz.
Thanks for that catch Beth! I apologize you had issues…the sugar free is much lighter without all the sugar, LOL.
Could you make the cream cheese mixture a few days ahead? and then stir the fruit in the day of?
I would think so!
What is in this that makes it 4 points a serving?
Is it calculated by the calories?
It is calculated by the ingredients using the WW recipe builder.
