Frequently Asked Questions
How Do You Make The Most Of A Crockpot?
Having a Crockpot in your house is one of the most useful pieces of equipment that you can invest in.
The Crockpot allows you to cook your food slowly and gently, this is important as it improves the flavor of a dish.
Cooking food at lower temperatures for a longer period of time allows for the flavors of all the ingredients to fully infuse with each other.
This means that you end up with a dish that tastes incredibly rounded and blended. Using well-thought-out recipes will help you make the most of a Crockpot.
Another great way to make the most of having a Crockpot is to invest in a timer plug. This plugs into the wall socket and then the Crockpot gets plugged into the timer plug.
Using this will allow you to fill the Crockpot with the ingredients for the dish that you want to make before you head out for the day to work or school.
The timer plug will be programmed to turn the Crockpot on at a certain time. This will allow your dinner to be perfectly cooked when you return home for your day.
This can be great to use on days when you have no time to cook a Whole30-compliant meal. Instead of a timer plug you can also use smart devices to start your Crockpot when you need to when you are away from home.
What Are The Best Whole30 Ingredients?
One of the best things about the Whole30 diet is that there are plenty of foods that you can still eat while you are on the diet. Below are some of the best ingredients to incorporate into your meals during the course of the diet.
On the Whole30 diet, you can eat any and all vegetables, including potatoes. It is a great idea to incorporate multiple types of vegetables into every meal during this diet.
Vegetables are packed full of nutrients and will really help to cleanse and reset your body and all of its systems.
You can also eat meat and poultry on this diet. Incorporating lean meat into your diet is a great way to make sure that you are getting enough protein daily.
There are plenty of different cuts of meat that you can incorporate into your Whole30 diet. Lean red meat and chicken breasts and thighs are perfect for cooking in a Crockpot.
Fruit is another super important part of the Whole30 diet. Although you are unlikely to be cooking fruit in your Crockpot regularly, it can be a great way to curb sweet cravings.
Added sugar is not part of the Whole30 diet and ensuring that fruit is incorporated can help you to stay on track.
Final Thoughts
The Whole30 diet is a great way to reset your body and all of its internal systems.
To make sure that you don’t get bored and are able to stick to your diet for the entire month, these 10 Crockpot recipes can help ensure that there is variety in your daily meals.

Hi, my name is Justin Roberts and I like to live by one major rule in life – health is wealth. And where does all health stem from? The food choices we make.
I grew up in a not-so-wealthy household that often struggled to get food on the table.
The food we did eat was cheap, holding no nutritional value at all. I’m talking frozen foods, carbs, fats, and very little fresh produce.
I am fortunate enough to have made a life for myself where the money for food is no longer an issue, and I have spent the majority of it looking into healthy foods and different diets to try.
The most notable is keto and paleo. I am also interested in only using whole foods wherever possible – call it trauma!
As a professional chef, I now create recipes surrounding these diets every day. My family are my tasters, and I strive to make my recipes as budget-friendly as possible.
I hope that you’ll find some inspiration for healthier meals from my website. I want to create a catalog of recipes that you can come back to time and time again. Enjoy!
