Gallery: Protein + Slow Cooker = Meal Prep Your Way To Health

Do you have a slow cooker? Raise your hands if you do! If you don't... You are totally missing out! Over the last six months I have turned my lifestyle upside down from being a sedentary gal who rarely thought about her food to one that works out multiple times a week and goes full on ham  in meal prepping!
