40 + Healthy Slow Cooker Recipes

40 Healthy Slow Cooker Recipes (gluten free | paleo) | www.savorylotus.com

Meet my favorite time-saving kitchen hack: the slow cooker. And 40+ healthy slow cooker recipes to keep you busy all winter long.

Ok, you guys!  Many of you know that I am away for 6 weeks getting intensive treatment for a chronic health issue. I’m taking time out of life to slow down and do some real healing. And this means taking a little break from creating recipes and taking photos. So I’m coming at you with one of my favorite ways to save time and energy in the kitchen. Because we can all use a little help getting dinner on the table every night.  Am I right?

Nothing beats coming home to the smell of a home cooked meal.  That’s why my slow cooker is my best friend this time of year. With just a few minutes of prep time in the morning, you can have a warm and cozy meal waiting for you at dinner time. THIS is the slow cooker I have used for years. You can also get a programmable one like THIS with a few more bells and whistles. My slow cooker stays busy most of the winter with making bone broth as well as making lots of family favorite dinners.

I’ve included a variety of things you can easily make in your slow cooker. Lots of beef, chicken and pork recipes. I even added a few sweet treats for you.  I hope you enjoy.

xo,

Katja

  • ✨ 5 years ago, i completely uprooted my life because i felt a call for something different • i don’t have a single regret 

there is so much peace and power in intentionally creating a life aligned with your values and heart’s desire 

but it takes radical ownership of EVERY aspect of your life
  • 💪fitness is one of the biggest mood boosters in my life—not because it solves everything, but because it consistently gives me space to come back to myself 💪

💪sometimes the workout is the least important part • the real gift is becoming the kind of woman who keeps choosing herself, over and over again 💪
  • ✨this season has changed me in ways i never expected—and honestly, i think it’s making me a better woman • softer, slower, stronger, and more trusting ✨✨
  • ☀️sunlight sets the tone for my day and for my hormones • i’m 52• moving towards menopause • not doing complicated protocols, hormones or peptides • finding my way through slowing down, getting strong , simplifying, and being intentional with what ACTUALLY supports my body • every woman has a different journey • and i’m figuring out mine 💗
  • 💗 some things are out of our control • AND we have more agency over what happens to us than we think • a beautiful life is built in the habits we repeat 💗
  • • anyone else feel tired of all the noise? • trying to find my place here again • as i navigate big changes in my own life seasons • what actually makes a beautiful life ? 🌈✨
  • • becoming intentional about every aspect of my life has brought so much peace, contentment, and joy into my life • as i get older, i crave a slower, more deliberate pace to life • feeling grateful • 🙏
  • 🥦🥒🥬 growing your own food is a powerful way to support your health • you get fresh food + sunshine, fresh air and movement when you work in your garden • you don’t need a HUGE homestead • you can grow in containers on your apartment patio • you can create raised beds in your front yard • you can create an urban garden in the middle of a city 

🥦🥬🥒 we are blessed with a bit of land in western NC (about an acre) • 8 garden beds provide space to grow lots of things • i concentrate on building healthy soil • no pesticides or chemical • we also have berries and fruit trees planted around the yard 

🥦🥒🥬 there’s a deep satisfaction that comes from working the soil, tending the plants, harvesting the vegetables, and eating what we grow • it connects me to SOURCE/GOD 💗 and reminds me to stay in rhythm with NATURE • grateful 🙏
  • 💪 training for life • in a world full of distractions and drama, i’m focusing on what’s important to me • i want to be strong, to feel alive, and to be capable • so i can show up for myself, my family, and my community • when you turn inward and take charge of your own life and your own health, you realize that freedom, real health, and longevity are possible 💗• hope you have an amazing big day
