The crock pot has become our best friend in the kitchen. Here in our home we use it at least 2x a week. If you are loaded up with a full schedule it’s time you make friends with the crock pot.
My Clients tell me: “I slip on my diet when I don’t have meals planned” & ain’t that relatable? The more busy your life gets the easier it is to put food on the back burner. The problem with this is all the snacking that replaces quality meals. If you’re snacking heavy I highly doubt you’re hitting your protein goals. If you’re not hitting protein goals you’re filling up with junk.
The result… THE DAD BOD
Here’s an easy solution for 4-6+ meals a week!
USE THE CROCK POT. In the morning throw a CHUCK ROAST in. These are GREAT and TASTY. Chuck roast always on sale too! We load up the deep freezer.
Heres a basic recipe:
-Add roast to crock pot
-add in about 1 cup of water just to keep the roast from sticking to the bottom. It will create its own juices.
-Add a full onion (cut it up) and a few carrots if you like.
-Add potatoes if you want carbs! I’ usually cut them into 4s. Or I’ll get a bag of small red potatoes and throw them in whole.
-Add a BUNCH of salt
TOTAL PREP TIME= 5 min.
Put on LOW for 10 hours. Enjoy a great meal when you get home =)
Our family is able to eat off this for 2-3 meals. We make a roast twice a week. 4-6 total meals.
This works especially well from the intermittent fasting folks who are only eating 6-12 meals per week. See how little effort it take be to eat healthy?
Heres a quick video from dinner the other night.
We made baked potato’s over throwing the potato’s in the crock pot for this meal
ENJOY!
