SMART SWAPS (same taste, fewer points)

Crackers

• Ritz crackers → Ritz Reduced Fat crackers
  (points drop nicely)

Ham

• Deli ham (regular) → thin-sliced lean ham
  (WW: 1–2 slices is typically 0 points)

Cheese options

Choose ONE depending on how low you want the points:

1. Ultra-low-point option:
   • WW Lite Swiss Cheese Slices → 0–1 point per slice
     (cut small pieces)
2. Regular reduced-fat Swiss
   • ~1 point per sandwich

Sauce

Original butter mixture is heavy — we lighten it:

• 4 tbsp butter → 2 tbsp light butter
• Dijon mustard → 100% zero points
• Worcestershire → 0
• Garlic powder → 0
• Poppy seeds → small sprinkle (optional)
• Dried onion → small pinch

The flavor stays strong even with half the butter.
