It’s no secret that I LOVE my slow cooker. Especially when I make healthy slow cooker recipes in it!

I mean, I did write an entire ebook about it.. Which PS you can get 10% off the Easy Paleo Slow Cooker Recipes Book if you use code SLOWCOOKER 🙂

Crockpot/slow cooker cooking is the best for a few reasons:

• SO simple
• Minimal prep time
• Can be made ahead for busy nights
• Everything tastes delicious good
• It cooks dinner FOR you! Need I say more?

I mean.. the last reason alone is enough to have me sold. Who doesn’t want to come home from work to have dinner already done and waiting for you? It’s kinda my favorite thing.

I’ve rounded up some of my favorite healthy crockpot meals here for you. From chicken, to beef, turkey to pork.. there’s something for everyone!

Many of these recipes are paleo and whole30 friendly, but if you need recipes for those diets, I also have posts outlining that.
