Okay, let’s be honest, cooking every single meal from scratch while doing Whole30 is kind of exhausting.
No grains, no dairy, no sugar, no processed food… and suddenly, you’re realizing just how much of your usual go-to meals are off-limits (goodbye, cheesy pasta, you will be missed).
When I first did Whole30, I was all in on meal prepping, chopping veggies like I was auditioning for a cooking show, and spending hours making “simple” recipes that turned out to be… not so simple.
(Why did I think homemade mayo was a good idea?)
By week two, I was burnt out and desperate for an easier way to get food on the table without spending all day in the kitchen.
That’s where my slow cooker came in and saved my sanity.
With just a little prep in the morning, I could toss everything in, turn it on, and let it do its magic.
By dinnertime, the house smelled incredible, and I actually had a meal waiting for me (instead of me waiting for a meal to magically appear—still waiting on that, by the way).
So if you’re doing Whole30 (or just looking for some healthy, easy, hands-off meals), these 16 slow cooker recipes will be your new best friend.
We’re talking fall-apart meats, cozy soups, and flavorful stews—all Whole30-approved and ridiculously easy.
Because eating healthy should make life EASIER, not harder.
