WW Garlic-Sesame Green Bean Stir-Fry

WW Garlic-Sesame Green Bean Stir-Fry

⭐ 1–2 WW Points per serving (recipe makes 3 servings)
(Points come mostly from oils + sesame seeds)

A quick little stir-fry that tastes like takeout but keeps the points super low. I made this on a busy afternoon, and honestly the sesame aroma alone felt like a reward. Light, crunchy, and perfect with any lean protein.
