What I Eat In A Day Using My Slow Cooker | Plant-Based Crockpot Recipes

Today we're talking about what plant-based (or vegan) meals I eat in a day using my slow cooker. We're coming out of those pesky winter months (thank goodness), but that doesn't mean that I'm putting my crockpot away anytime soon. I think that a slow cooker is a kitchen must-have - they're so useful, especially if you're busy, or if you're plant based! With a little forethought, your slow cooker can conquer so many meals and recipes.

I only have one slow cooker, and it's from 360 Cookware. This slow cooker is BRILLIANT. It's actually two separate pieces - a surgical-grade stainless steel pot and a warming plate. This means that you can go from stove to slow cooker without having to pour, scoop or ladle. I'll sauté onions and carrots on the stove, and simply move the pot over to the slow cooking base to use the pot as a slow cooker -brilliant.

I start my day with steel-cut oatmeal made in overnight in my slow cooker. Use 1/2 cup oats with 2 cups of water, and cook it overnight on the lowest setting. I sometimes add a Medjool date to my oatmeal or even cinnamon. This oatmeal is always perfectly cooked, and so easy - Imagine waking up to a breakfast that's already!! I top with berries, nuts, bananas, hemp hearts, ground flaxseed and a little non-dairy milk! I'll have my oatmeal with some green smoothie for an absolutely delicious, easy breakfast!

After I've cleaned my slow cooker, it's over to the stove to prep my mushroom stew for dinner. I water sauté (or broth sauté - your choice) about 1 cup of onion. I add about 3 cloves are garlic (you can add more or less, again, your choice) and about 2 tsp Italian seasoning and 2 tablespoons red wine. To the onions and garlic, I add celery, potatoes and carrots, about 1 cup of white beans, mushrooms, veggie broth and 1 tablespoon tapioca starch (made into a slurry), pepper and salt, and then I leave the stew on the lowest setting for about 8-10 hours! When I'm ready to serve, I top with fresh parsley.

When I'm done making my dinner stew, I make my lunch, which is always a big salad. I usually use salads to clean out my fridge, which means I put a little bit of everything in there. But I definitely include some kind of bean, and a few times a week I'll add beats. I prefer oil-free dressings and opt for healthy fats from nuts, seeds or avocados.

And here is my favorite Chili recipe that is a great crowd pleaser (and wonderful when you're stuck inside with the family and don't know how to cook healthy for everyone) https://sophieuliano.com/spicy-veggie-chili/
