Forget your ideas about the crockpot being an “old school” appliance. It’s actually a savvy way to prep delicious meals filled with healthy ingredients you simply will not find in a box of processed whatever. Prep the ingredients in the morning and then let the slow cooker do its thing so you can come home to a yummy meal that won’t make you—or loved ones—feel deprived.
Always check the serving size for any recipe you add to your menu planning. Get into the habit of measuring out portions to help you stay on track with SmartPoints. Measuring portions will also give you a sense for proper serving sizes, so when you eat at a restaurant or at a party, you’ll be able to better choose a healthy meal portion.
