Chicken is a summer favorite, let alone a year-round favorite, so amp up a plain skinless, boneless chicken with chicken broth, crushed tomatoes and corn tortillas. The mix of enchilada sauce and chili powder will leave everyone begging for more.
Use your favorite sea-faring food to satisfy your palette. Low-carb Shrimp Scampi will become your new favorite summer seafood meal. With a garlicky, buttery finish, this healthier variation tastes like a carb-rich dish without the fat and calories. Prepping takes only a minute, and cooking takes only 90 minutes. Fairly quick but completely tasty, this recipe has it all.
A family favorite among healthy Crock-Pot recipes, this sandwich combines hearty meat, mouth-watering spices and yummy vegetables. These Sloppy Joes are all spicy goodness with healthy mix-ins. Try using a mixture of ground beef and turkey or turkey alone for a lean, but still mean, summer dinner.
For that barbeque summer zest you're craving, make up these BBQ-beef sandwiches in your Crock-Pot. These sandwiches pack a steak-and-Worcestershire-sauce-soaked punch. With a fusion of garlic, brown sugar, pepper and salt, this recipe is teeming with summer flavor.
With your favorite seasonal berries, you can create a decadent but light dessert option. Crock-Pot berry cobbler sums up summer in a fruity way. Finish this milky, cinnamon-infused dessert with low-fat frozen yogurt for the right combination of warm fruity goodness and cold creamy tastiness.
A favorite at picnics, brownies are all chocolatey indulgence but may not be guilt-free. Try these clean-eating brownies, complete with applesauce, bananas and honey. They're equal parts awesome and whole grain. Enjoy these light, cocoa-fueled treats without feeling carbo-loaded and remorseful. And who says healthy Crock-Pot recipes have to be eaten with a spoon?
