Weight Watchers Ambassador Kate Hudson Whips Up The Brand's Butternut Squash, Sage & Mushroom Lasagna Recipe
If you've ever wondered what Kate Hudson eats every day, here's your answer!
The mom-of-three, who became an ambassador for WW (formerly Weight Watchers) in 2019, put together a quick video that showed her cooking up the brand's Butternut Squash, Sage and Mushroom Lasagna.
The actress explained that she first joined the program because it doesn't enforce a strict diet.
"I love cocktails, french fries, and ice cream," she admitted. "Now it’s all about balance: figuring out how to create the fun and still live a healthy lifestyle."
This dish is a lighter, meatless take on a classic lasagna, though WW warned that it is at a "difficult" skill level — though the Fabletics founder did just fine!
Each serving comes in at 1 to 4 points, depending on an individual's PersonalPoints plan.
