Fall is definitely almost here. There’s a bit of a chill in the air, you’ve bought school supplies for your kids, and Starbucks has started serving Pumpkin Spice Lattes. I’m usually a firm believer in postponing the season as long as possible, but I finally broke down and broke out my long-sleeved shirts and cozy slippers, and I’m glad I did!
So…in the spirit of fall, here are iFit’s top Slow Cooker recipes. You can set it, forget it, go out and enjoy the changing leaves and crisp air, then come back to a nice, warm, healthy, home-cooked meal.

These essential nutrients will keep you full and protein will even help with workout recovery!
Slow Cooker Beef and Broccoli
