Easy Healthy Meal Preps

I was recently talking to a mom friend who spilled some of her secrets – she would have her two huge slow cookers out and ready Sunday mornings on her counters where she’d dump her ingredients into them and then set them on low before heading out to run errands or dropping her kids off for their activities.

By the time she comes home, she can either do a third meal prep in the oven or stove top while the food in her slow cooker cools down (or clear out the slow cookers and use them again). And just like that, her easy healthy slow cooker meal preps are done! Plus, dinner’s ready!

Once the food has cooled, she’d either divide them up into meal prep containers to eat for the week/send off with the kids to school or into freezer bags and have them be meals for down the road. This is such an effective way to make healthy meal preps when you’re running low on time or can’t meal prep weekly. I was way impressed by her slow cooker meal prep system!

I’m not going to lie, for the longest time, I really only used my slow cooker for chili and once I’m sick of chili, I’d pack up my slow cooker and tuck it away in the basement until I was ready for another chili binge! But now, I think the slow cooker will be getting more counter space in my kitchen! Down below I have 11 Healthy Slow Cooker Meal Prep Recipes you can throw together in the slow cooker in minutes that’ll make meal prepping a breeze!
