About These Healthy Winter Slow Cooker Recipes
I don’t know about you, but as the seasons change, so do the ingredients in my kitchen
.
One of my favorite ways to take advantage of all the delicious produce during its peak season (and the most affordable price) is to change the vegetables and spices I’m using.
It keeps things interesting and is a simple way to liven up weekday dinners so they feel new again (without too much extra effort).
Like my spring, summer, and fall crockpot collections, these beloved winter crockpot recipes are very easy to put together.
Including many of my favorite comfort food dishes, vegetarian recipes, winter soups, and chicken dinners for the whole family to settle into.
The best part is that they make plenty of leftovers, so this is a great list to have on hand if you need to feed a crowd quickly and easily.

If you’re new to slow cooker recipes, don’t worry, these are all very beginner-friendly dishes
. Even though the
cooking time seems long on the recipe card
, the practical preparation time is very short. In my opinion, the part of less preparation and less
stress is one of the biggest advantages of cooking crockpot (well, that and less cleaning)!
They’re an especially good option if your weeknights feel very busy and you want a little more time for yourself.
Since you can set a timer and walk away, it frees you up to spend your time however you want and still be able to come home with a nutritious, hot meal.

Soups What Makes These Recipes Healthy The truth is, there is no universally agreed upon definition of what makes a recipe healthy.
As an expert on healthy habits, you should know: I’ve interviewed over 200 health and wellness experts on the question of what it really means to be healthy, and I still haven’t discovered a definition of healthy eating that all experts agree on.
However, I wrote the book about what it really means to be healthy, and when it comes to recipes, I take a comprehensive, real-food, research-based approach.
With this in mind, all of these recipes are made with whole food ingredients, with no added refined sugar, and do not include processed ingredients or oils.
They are also vegetables, including whole grains, as well as lots of colorful and health-filled vegetables.
Finally, as an expert in healthy habits, I know that a big part of eating healthy is making the process easier.
That’s why all of these recipes are not only full of good ingredients for you, but they’re also incredibly easy to prepare.
As always, if you are following a specific diet for health reasons, check with your doctor or registered dietitian for specific health advice and check out our nutritional disclaimer for more information.
How to freeze and store leftovers
All these recipes will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days, in a sealed container.
Many of these recipes also freeze well, store them in a sealed container for freezing for up to 2-3 months.
