25 Healthy Whole Food Slow Cooker Recipes

25 Healthy Whole Food Slow Cooker Recipes

One of the most exciting things about the New Year is the opportunity it provides for a fresh start! For many, that means a renewed commitment to eating healthier.

As someone who has experienced the amazing health benefits that come from a whole food lifestyle, I always enjoy helping people make a fresh start with the January Whole30 Challenge.

Of course, whether you’re starting the year with the Whole30, or another whole food based approach to healthy living, I’ve found one of the biggest challenges to maintaining any healthy lifestyle is … time!

It’s a common challenge of busy moms everywhere – how to get a healthy dinner on the table when time is short, and often our patience for cooking is too?

That’s why I love the slow cooker! It’s a simple way to ensure you get a healthy home-cooked meal on the table, even on the busiest of days. This is especially true if you take the time to meal plan.

So in order to save time (and reduce stress), I’ve been scheduling a lot more slow cooker meals in my weekly whole food meal plans. In fact, I’ve gathered so many delicious whole food slow cooker recipes, I thought it would be fun to share them with you, since I’m sure you’re a busy mom too!

P.S. If you’re ready to transform your health one delicious bite at a time, I’d love to have you join us for the January Whole30! I've created The Ultimate Whole30 Success Guide with free Whole30 (and family-friendly) meal plans, recipes, grocery lists and more to make our 30-day journey together a whole lot easier and more delicious too!
