Slow Cooker Butternut Squash & Kale Stew

No ratings yet

This savory and ultra-nutritious is perfect for a cool autumn evening.

Are you ready for fall yet? Our Slow Cooker Butternut Squash and Kale Stew is our SkinnyMs. take on a popular Portuguese soup. To skinny it up, we used butternut squash and sweet potato in place of white potatoes, and black beans instead of sausage. With this protein-packed recipe, you get a hearty vegetarian stew that’s super easy to make. Plus, it’s chock-full of superfoods that will be sure to make you feel amazing!

If you’re not eating vegetarian, you could still use sausage or add a bit of bacon for a smoky flavor. Either way, this is an absolutely delicious and filling meal in and of itself–especially on a chilly night when you need something warm in your belly.
