Are you trying to lose weight this year? Stock your freezer with crockpot freezer meals! Here are 31 healthy crockpot recipes that I tried myself (grocery list included!).
I’ve made thousands of crockpot freezer meals myself over the past five years, and they really do help us eat healthy. I can spend an hour assembling meals over the weekend and then simply add them to the crockpot during the week. So easy.
For this list, I looked for easy and healthy crockpot recipes that…
- Are made with broth or another low calorie liquid that will fill you up
- Include protein and healthy fats to help you stay full longer
- Taste absolutely delicious!
The best part is that these crockpot recipes can be frozen without any cooking ahead of time. Simply combine the meats, veggies, sauces, and spices and freeze for up to three months. When you’re ready to eat, thaw overnight in the fridge or in the morning in water and dump into the crockpot – dinner is done!
I’ve tried all of these recipes and they’re absolutely delicious, nutritious, and budget-friendly. I think your whole family will like them, even if they’re not trying to watch what they eat. Enjoy, Friends!

Cindy, You’re very welcome!
Where do you get thoses great recipe labels for the bags?
I made them myself. 🙂
I send a free version to my email subscribers and there are ones that you can type on in my eBooks.
If these are recipes for weight loss please explain the Honey Garlic Chiccken with Vegetables that has 647.5 Calories, Total fat of 24., Saturated fat 6.8, Sodium 1445, and 48.7 grams od sugar. Am I missing something here?
In the printable that I made, I suggest six servings for that recipe. It’s also highly likely that you won’t eat all the sauce.
