Who has the time?

We know you are busy, have a life and do not want to spend all of your spare time in the kitchen cooking.

We have removed all the fuss and comprised a blog post of quick meals and time-saving tips for healthy eating. So dust off the ol' crock pot and try one of these 4 time-saving crock pot recipes when on the go:

· Place trimmed pork tenderloin in crock pot; cover with HEB’s “That Green Sauce” – cook on low all day. When you get home, shred the pork with 2 forks; mix in a container of HEB premade pico de gallo (produce section); serve on corn tortillas; top with lime juice and queso fresco

· Place frozen chicken breasts in crock pot; cover with a jar of your favorite salsa – cook on low all day. When you get home, shred the chicken with 2 forks and serve on corn tortillas OR with a side of Uncle Ben’s 90 second brown rice.

· Place trimmed pork tenderloin in crock pot; cover with your favorite BBQ sauce – cook on low all day. When you get home, shred the pork with 2 forks. Serve on whole wheat sandwich thins with pickles/mustard (as desired) with a side of canned whole beans.

· Cut a spaghetti squash in ½ and scoop out the seeds. Place cut sides down in Crock Pot. Add a jar of pasta sauce – cook on low all day. When you get home, brown 1# of 96% lean ground beef. Use a fork to scrape out the “noodly” part of the squash, discard the rind; add the ground beef to the squash “noodles” and sauce – pasta-free “spaghetti” is served!

Tell us in the comments below which crock pot recipe you enjoyed the most.

"I started working out with a trainer virtually a couple weeks ago & it has been awesome! Being a nurse AND being in school still, I have constantly made excuses for not having time to workout and eat healthy. At first, I started doing sessions after work when I was already worn out, but my trainer encouraged me to start waking up early and working out before I go to work. This has been a game changer for me & I no longer have excuses of not having time or being too tired because he has encouraged me to MAKE time! My trainer is so supportive & encouraging and I don’t think I would be able to get through some of the workouts if I was doing them on my own! The meal plan that was made for me was very simple and straight forward, which has made it so much easier for me to prep and to not make excuses and eat whatever is “easy” or whatever is “fast” while going to work and school. I highly recommend it here if you’re struggling to prioritize healthy habits and making excuses like I was. This is just the beginning and I can’t wait to see my progress!"-Ashley
