One of the biggest barriers I hear from clients is that they simply don’t have time to cook. Between work, family commitments, exercise and everything else life throws at us, spending an hour in the kitchen every night just isn’t realistic.
That’s where the slow cooker earns its place on the bench, or if you’re around for it, the beautiful French oven style casserole dish in the oven.
A good slow cooked recipe takes a fraction of the preparation time of many traditional meals, while still delivering the nutrition we’re aiming for—protein to support muscle health and satiety, fibre-rich vegetables and legumes for gut health, and nourishing ingredients that help us feel satisfied and energised.
It’s also one of the easiest ways to batch cook. Most recipes naturally create leftovers, which means less cooking, less cleaning and more meals sorted for the days ahead.
In this edition of Lazy Healthy (have you watched it on the gram?), I’m sharing my favourite slow cooker meals that prove healthy eating doesn’t have to be complicated. They’re comforting, flavour-packed and designed to make nourishing yourself feel a whole lot easier.
