Today I'm featuring crock pot meals, perfect for busy days! These recipes are all from the Team Beachbody blog; just click the link in the title to be taken to the full recipe.
SAVORY SLOW COOKER BEANS and RICE
Oh yes, I remember the days of Dave Ramsey and "beans and rice and rice and beans!" But still a tasty dinner. True confession (or maybe this is just a great tip).... I use canned beans. I have no interest in soaking beans overnight or boiling them first thing in the morning.
Container Count:
1 GREEN 2 YELLOW 1/2 RED

SLOW COOKER TURKEY MEATBALLS
I love meatballs of any kind, and turkey meatballs are lower in calories than beef. You can serve these with marinara sauce and pasta or spaghetti squash or throw them in chicken broth with some leftover veggies for a quick soup.
Container Count:
1 GREEN 1 RED 1 TSP
SLOW COOKER CHICKEN FAJITAS
If you have a large crockpot definitely double the recipe. That way you can eat leftovers for lunch later in the week! You can serve with tortillas, but I also like fajitas (warm but not piping hot) over a salad. I have weird tastes, lol. You can also freeze the fajita mixture!
Container Count:
2 GREEN 1 RED 1-1/2 YELLOW 1/2 BLUE
SLOW COOKER CHICKEN and QUINOA with SPRING VEGGIES
This slow cooker recipe for Chicken with Quinoa and Spring Vegetables is light but hearty. As the chicken gently cooks for hours it becomes extremely tender and juicy, but it’s the quinoa that’s the real surprise in this dish.
Container Count:
1/2 GREEN 1/2 RED 2 YELLOW 1 TSP
SLOW COOKER CHEESY CHICKEN ENCHILADAS
OMG, cheesy enchiladas!!! This will definitely become one of your favorite recipes. Perfect for cold winter days!
Container Count:
1 GREEN 1/2 RED 2 YELLOW 1/2 BLUE
SLOW COOKER BANANA BREAD OATMEAL
Luckily, with this Slow Cooker Banana Bread Oatmeal, breakfast can taste like dessert while still being a wholesome and nutritious way to fuel your day. It’s got all of the flavor of a luscious slice of banana bread, without the oily fat (or the extra smear of butter on top). Cinnamon, nutmeg, and three whole bananas give it authentic “baked-in” taste. Ground flax seeds give it extra nuttiness and a boost of fiber and healthy omega-3s. And, the best part is, this recipe cooks overnight and is ready to eat when you wake up!
Container Count:
2 YELLOW 1 PURPLE 1/2 BLUE 1/2 ORANGE
SLOW COOKER BEEF CHILI
One of my favorite chili recipes is from the 21 Day Fix Extreme cookbook. It's a turkey chili but I usually substitute ground beef to make the family happy. This uses cubes of chuck steak instead, but it's super simple. This recipe can also be doubled and leftovers frozen.
Container Count:
1 GREEN 1 RED 1/2 YELLOW 1/2 TSP.
Enjoy these yummy recipes!
