10 Healthy Crock Pot Recipes

 

Are you ready for some healthy crock pot recipes?  I know I am!  I’ve been needing to make this list for a long time, but I finally have the push that I need.

After spending an evening in the ER a couple of weeks ago, I’m trying once again to reach back out to that healthy eating that I once was so good at doing.  I had gone to the doctor because my blood pressure was super high and they were trying to figure out exactly what was causing that.  After they couldn’t get my numbers to come down with a pill, they sent me to the ER.  It turned out that I was having pain in my gall bladder (which I knew was there, but it wasn’t THAT significant) and that pain was raising my blood pressure to ridiculous heights.  (I’m talking 220/118 when my normal is 120/70)

Since that time, I’ve been acutely aware of that tender spot right under my breast bone.  I’ve found that the way I feel depends on how I’m eating.  If I drink soda, it hurts worse.  Some days it hurts worse for other weird reasons, but soda has been the biggest culprit I’ve found so far.  I’ve also found that if I eat more fruits and vegetables, I typically feel better.  Obviously, in order to lose weight, I’m supposed to be drinking less soda and eating more fruits and veggies, so I guess this new little gall bladder diet may actually help me out.

As I started thinking through my next meal plan, I realized that I don’t really have any of my meals categorized in any healthy eating category, but I really do have healthy meals here on my site.  I figured I’d better start a list of healthy crock pot recipes.

What Makes a Healthy Crockpot Recipe?

First off, let’s talk about what makes a healthy meal, as I know that each person can interpret that very differently!  For me, healthy eating means, low carb, no sugar, heavy on the vegetables, and lean meat.  I also allow myself fruit, but in moderation as it can be turned to fat if I have too much.  The meals I pick may be a little meat heavy, but when I pick a meal like that, I will add a whole lot of vegetables as sides.

Most of these recipes will qualify as low carb and work well when I’m using the South Beach diet.  Sometimes you’ll have to make a modification, but I will try to share about the modifications you should make below.

Be sure to check out the My Weight Loss Success Plan printable workbook to help you along on your journey.  It has great meal planning forms as well as MANY other great resources!

Here’s Your 10 Healthy Crock Pot Recipes {Freezer to Slow Cooker Version}

 

Slow Cooker Stuffed Peppers

To eliminate carbs, you could substitute grated cauliflower or carrots for the brown rice.

 Lemon Pepper Turkey Breast 

Lemon pepper has been known to have sugar in it.  To get around the sugar content, you’ll want to make your own, or check any labels of lemon pepper.  Instead, for every 1 teaspoon of lemon pepper, substitute 1/2 teaspoon of lemon zest + 1/8 tsp fine ground pepper + 1/4 tsp salt.

Creamy Chicken & Kale Soup

I could eat this soup every day.  It’s so good and so good for you.  Look at all that fresh, green kale.  So much goodness packed in one soup!

Sausage, Egg & Broccoli Breakfast Casserole

The great thing about this breakfast casserole is that it doesn’t have any flour in it.  That means my carbs can stay down, while I still get some great veggies in.  If you use sausage, be sure to drain and rinse the meat, to cut down on any fat consumption from leftover grease.  Or, you can cut it out or substitute it with another lower fat meat.

Pork Adobo

The adobo sauce in this recipe may have some sugar in it.   You may want to doublecheck your can to be sure.  For me, such a minimal amount of sauce is used, that I don’t think it will negatively impact my weight loss should I have this meal.  Instead of serving it on tortillas, try serving it over salad, instead.

Steak Fajitas

Once again, serve these over lettuce or in lettuce wraps to reduce the carbs.  This meal was fabulous!

Slow Cooker Vegetable Beef Soup 

If you are low carbing it, you may want to replace the mixed vegetables with something that does not have corn in it.

French Stew 

You will want to leave out the brown sugar in this recipe to keep it as healthful as possible.  It will be good anyway, don’t you worry a thing about that!  This is one of my husband’s absolute favorite recipes!

Cabbage Rolls

This was a new recipe that we tried just recently.  It was well worth the time it took to roll the cabbage up. For a healthy recipe, this one was the BOMB!  Be sure to use low fat percentage ground beef.

Slow Cooker Chicken Fajita Soup 

Soups are great ways to keep your carbs down and get full quickly.  This one is chock full of peppers and onions, making it very tasty!

  • Amorette DavisUser of the Free Freezer to Slow Cooker One Week Menu

    Thank you so much! As a special needs mommy these recipes have helped us so much.   I often am very busy with being a nurse for our child that I don't have time for making sure we get meals.  This allows me to do all my prep on the weekends, while my husband is home to help, and to cook during the week.  So grateful!

  • Linda SearsOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Menus

    Sarah’s Freezer to Slow Cooker ebooks have been a fantastic addition to my meal plans.  They make meal planning easy and my family happy. I love the way each recipe is laid out, with a shopping list and ingredient prep list, along with cooking instructions. Sarah’s done all the hard work for me!  The recipes have used have all been delicious and easily adaptable to my family’s taste and the number of people I’m serving.

  • FranOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebooks
     I purchased all of your freezer to slow cooker ebooks a month or so ago and I'm in love with this way of cooking.  I now have taken all 10 weeks of recipes and written them of my menu planner and then I repeated the 10 weeks and will continue to do so throughout the year.  My family of 5 adults and 1 child enjoy the meals that you have planned and I have cooked and I'm excited that the next time when that meal comes due up in the rotation I won't have to purchase anything but just pull it from the freezer.  Thank you so much

    This makes my life so much easier. I'm a busy work at home/stay at home mom, wife, business woman and I feel like dinner is always the thing I just never get time to do. We have done like 15 of the crockpot recipes from Sarah and they are all very yummy. They get a thumbs up from my husband and kids every time. And there is always enough for my husband to take the left overs at least 2x per recipe. I have a family of 5, 2 adults, 21, 13, 16. So it makes plenty. Thank you Sarah.

  • Dawn S.Buyer of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebook Series
    I am a 59-year-old wife and mother of two grown children.  I love your idea of fixing a lot of meals ahead of time and then pulling one out, put it in the crockpot, and you have dinner when you get home.  I hate feeling rushed when I cook so Monday - Friday I use those crockpot meals and make enough that we have lunch the next day.  I take Sunday afternoon, fix up what I need for the week (I don't have a lot of freezer space so I do a week's worth at a time) and I'm done with it!  Saturdays I like to try new recipes from some of my cookbooks which I am finding I can freeze as well!  So you have shown me a whole new way to organize my time and still put a healthy meal on the table.  Thanks so much and I look forward to future blogs.
