Slim down the convenient way!
Eat your way to a delicious, healthy new you! Add these 10 Weight Watchers slow cooker dinner recipes to your menu planning.
The slow cooker is the perfect way to prep healthy meals. Is it convenient? You bet. Many recipes for the crockpot require minimal prep—often no more than slicing ingredients. Cooking takes place over hours, so you simply load the crockpot in the morning or afternoon, and then come home to a yummy, warm meal.
Another big-time advantage, particularly when you’re busy, is that many of the meals deliver one-pot convenience. Others require only one extra pot or pan to brown meat for the recipe. Slow cooker meals are ideal for parties and get-togethers, since the recipes give you the gift of extra time to prepare other foods or mingle with guests.
Weight Watchers slow cooker dinner recipes help you stay healthy. Foods are cooked at relatively low temperatures, so nutrients don’t burn off. Plus, the appliance helps retain the foods’ natural juices, which are often rich in nutrients. What’s more, that low-temp cooking won’t heat up the kitchen like a conventional oven, which means you’re free to enjoy the benefits of slow cooking year-round—even in the heat of summer!
