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

how do you start your day? 💪🏃‍♀️🧘🏽‍♀️🚴🏽‍♂️☕️

mindset mindset mindset 🧠🧠• having a morning routine allows us to set an intention for the day rather then just letting the day run away from us • it helps determine our mind set and the tone for the rest of the day ✨✨

things like meditation, journaling, yoga, exercise, and other self-care practices can help us start the day feeling calm and inspired 🧘🏻 • consciously selecting the thoughts we have, the foods we eat , and the news/social media/images we see matters • a solid morning routine can reduce stress, boost energy, increase mental clarity, and leave us feeling 🤩

creating a morning routine looks different for us all • routine comes easier for some than others • we all have different priorities, time limits, physical needs/abilities, and health concerns there • are no rules • find what works for you 

i know that i feel better when i stick to my morning routine • i know that i feel better when i don’t engage with my phone or social media the first hour or two after waking up • i know i feel better when i consciously select what i bring into my head space first thing in the morning, including the thoughts that i have 

my morning routine currently looks like this:  10 minutes of quiet meditation, some form of elimination pathways opening like Gua Sha, coffee e nema, an epsom salts bath, or a sauna, yoga/workout, and a big green juice 🥬🥒🍏

👉👉 do you have a morning routine?  i’d love to hear how you start your day • leave me a comment below ⤵️⤵️
what’s not to love about a fritter? ❤️ • what’s not to love about a fritter? ❤️ •  made a batch of my BUTTERNUT SQUASH FRITTERS this morning • a great way to get more vegetables onto your plate • so good with a plate of fried eggs and steamed kale • made with just a few simple ingredients • don’t skip the fresh herbs 🍀🌱🍀

* butternut squash (about 3 pounds)- peeled and shredded
* eggs, whisked
* 1/2 cup gluten free flour (I used a combo of almond flour and tapioca) 
* 1/4 cup fresh herbs, finely chopped ( any combo of parsley, basil, sage, or cilantro)
* 1/4–1/2 tsp garlic powder
* 1 tsp salt
* ghee or avocado oil for cooking

1. in a large bowl, combine shredded butternut squash, eggs, flour, herbs, garlic powder, and salt.  mix to combine. 
2. in a large skillet, heat a liberal amount of fat of choice over medium high heat.  scoop out 2 tablespoons of mixture into hand, squeeze into a ball, and place into skillet, flattening with the back of a spatula or measuring cup. cook until golden brown.  flip and cook other side.  repeat until mixture is all gone, adding more fat as needed. 
3. place cooked fritters onto a wire rack while cooking the rest.  serve immediately or freeze for later once cooled.
self-care is about creating healthy habits ❤️• having a “self-care” routine before you get sick can keep you healthy 💪 • and it doesn’t have to be expensive or time consuming • there are so many ways to care for yourself that are 100% free:
💧 hydration
☀️ sunshine,
🌈 fresh air
🌲 nature
🤸🏼‍♂️ movement
🙏 gratitude
👯 connection
🧘🏽‍♀️ meditation

the body usually gives us signals that something is starting to be out of balance • it’s important that we listen or it can lead to more serious health issues • every day is another chance to start taking care of ourselves 

my self-care routine focuses heavily on detoxification/elimination because i’m in heal mode • my toxic burden bucket 🪣 got too full + it put me over the edge • the liver, kidneys, large intestine, lymphatic system, and sweat glands 💦💦 work hard every day to reduce the build up of environmental contaminants and need regular support to keep functioning optimally • my self-care routine includes:

• infrared sauna for sweating
• Gua Sha to move lymph
• epsom salt baths
• daily movement
• hydration
• cold-pressed juices for nutrition
• coffee enemas
• ozone therapy 
• red light therapy 
• time in nature

don’t wait until you get sick to decide to take care of yourself • you only have this one body and this one precious life • it is NOT normal to feel crappy as we age • let’s change the paradigm and move forward in age with grace + vitality ✨✨• than you, @dr.jess.md for motivating me to take things to the next level
sweet potatoes + instant pot shredded chicken + sa sweet potatoes + instant pot shredded chicken + salsa verde + avocado = my kind of dinner • easy, family-friendly + damn delicious 

🍠🍠 roast whole sweet potatoes at 400’F until soft • to cook salsa verde chicken: place chicken thighs or breasts in Instant Pot and sprinkle with cumin and garlic powder • pour salsa verde on top and cook on HIGH pressure for 15 minutes • quick release and shred • 🥑🥑 mash avocado with lime + salt • put it all together, sprinkle with fresh cilantro 🍀🍀 and enjoy • so many good flavors
