18 Healthy, High Protein Slow Cooker Recipes

BBQ-Rubbed Pork Shoulder With Creamy Slaw

It is that time of year when day after day the thermometer reads below freezing and warm dinners are a must. And despite lockdown workdays are busy for both Mark and I.  After a day of calls if we then both workout in the evening that means dinner gets started quite late. One fix? Starting dinner in the mid afternoon thanks to slow cooker recipes!  As you might have guessed from my recent fitness posts I am trying to make good food choices and Mark loves eating healthy so high protein slow cooker recipes are right up our ally. 

Mark is a bit picky, no veggie only options and stay away from delicious items like avocado (sad face) or substitutes like tofu. Below you will find A lot of chicken options as it is the leanest option you can get

The best quote from Mike, the chef behind the creamy chicken dish below when he said, “Awesome like a mug of warm mint chocolate on a chilly autumn day, like a day at the Spa, like a sink without dirty dishes, like running 10k under 35 minutes — that kind of awesome.”  Yup, that is pretty much exactly how I feel.  Here are the recipes I have bookmarked and I want to try:
