What I Eat In A Day Using My Slow Cooker | Plant-Based Crockpot Recipes

Today we're talking about what plant-based (or vegan) meals I eat in a day using my slow cooker. We're coming out of those pesky winter months (thank goodness), but that doesn't mean that I'm putting my crockpot away anytime soon. I think that a slow cooker is a kitchen must-have - they're so useful, especially if you're busy, or if you're plant based! With a little forethought, your slow cooker can conquer so many meals and recipes.
I only have one slow cooker, and it's from 360 Cookware. This slow cooker is BRILLIANT. It's actually two separate pieces - a surgical-grade stainless steel pot and a warming plate. This means that you can go from stove to slow cooker without having to pour, scoop or ladle. I'll sauté onions and carrots on the stove, and simply move the pot over to the slow cooking base to use the pot as a slow cooker -brilliant. Use the code SOPHIE20 at bit.ly/2UeTq8U to get 20% off your ENTIRE 360 Cookware purchase. And, if you're new to 360 Cookware, they have an amazing deal running right now just for my community. You can get 360 Cookware's signature 2-quart sauté pan for just $69 when you click this link: bit.ly/3byazmW and use the code TryMe2020 at checkout. That's $120 discount (yes, you read that correctly), and it's only available while supplies last. Go grab yours today!!
I start my day with steel-cut oatmeal made in overnight in my slow cooker. Use 1/2 cup oats with 2 cups of water, and cook it overnight on the lowest setting. I sometimes add a Medjool date to my oatmeal or even cinnamon. This oatmeal is always perfectly cooked, and so easy - Imagine waking up to a breakfast that's already!! I top with berries, nuts, bananas, hemp hearts, ground flaxseed and a little non-dairy milk! I'll have my oatmeal with some green smoothie for an absolutely delicious, easy breakfast!
After I've cleaned my slow cooker, it's over to the stove to prep my mushroom stew for dinner. I water sauté (or broth sauté - your choice) about 1 cup of onion. I add about 3 cloves are garlic (you can add more or less, again, your choice) and about 2 tsp Italian seasoning and 2 tablespoons red wine. To the onions and garlic, I add celery, potatoes and carrots, about 1 cup of white beans, mushrooms, veggie broth and 1 tablespoon tapioca starch (made into a slurry), pepper and salt, and then I leave the stew on the lowest setting for about 8-10 hours! When I'm ready to serve, I top with fresh parsley.
When I'm done making my dinner stew, I make my lunch, which is always a big salad. I usually use salads to clean out my fridge, which means I put a little bit of everything in there. But I definitely include some kind of bean, and a few times a week I'll add beats. I prefer oil-free dressings and opt for healthy fats from nuts, seeds or avocados.
And here is my favorite Chili recipe that is a great crowd pleaser (and wonderful when you're stuck inside with the family and don't know how to cook healthy for everyone) sophieuliano.com/spicy-veggie...

I did the oatmeal last night. I woke up and looked at it. It was creamy and awesome!! I used my 1985 Crock-Pot I bought at Goodwill for ten bucks!!

[@kellycolle3335]

I know that this doesn't have anything to do with the slow cooking, but I LOVE YOUR TOP!!!

[@lovesoul007]

This is a perfect way of cooking & ready to eat

[@queenbmary1]

OMG! You constantly amaze me!!! I was worried that the little bit of oatmeal would not be enough for me, but after you added all the other ingredients it was perfect!!! I will be eating those exact meals!!! Thank you Sophie I miss you!

[@deniseriner6141]

Love these recipes! I've tried them and the whole family are every bite. 😊

[@antonellasantamaria1911]

I absolutely love how you explain everything! Im genuinely interested in everything you are saying! Usually i skip trough recipes tutorials where people speak so i can get the final recipe 😂💖

[@KellyKurcina]

Sophie, so happy you are now cooking oil free! I have been oil free for about 10 years now. I use organic arrowroot powder instead of tapioca to thicken! Great video!

[@lauryn2380]

Thanks for the awesome plant-based recipes and for saving me $66 on a 360 Slow Cooker! It makes me feel better that I’ll be using a slow cooker that’s 100% non-toxic and doesn’t leach any lead or chemicals into the food.

[@angeladmager7464]

Oh yum! I want to try that stew ASAP!

[@ehswissie]

Fantastic video! I‘d love to get the slow cooker but hv to check first if it works in Europe!🌸

[@ginadyson4214]

[@laurenhead2802]

Thank you for these delicious recipes and the discount codes. Do you know if yours is the 4 qt. slow cooker? I would need one to cook enough for three people.

[@angelad2601]

I never knew how to cook steel cut oats! thanks so much, I also love your white blouse, where is it from?

[@angeliquemaez5569]

Sophie where did you get the bowl you used to put the soup in?

[@carriedebisschop7495]

Sophie, I am about to order a slow cooker but have no idea what size! Can you tell me what size you own and used in this video? Thanks!

[@tinascepanski8609]

[@annettehillison5255]

I have never know you can eat raw beets do you peel a d cut up ? Would can or pickle beets be OK? And do you add can beans don't know much about what beans to use. Very very new to plant base eating. Love watching your videos ❤ and you don't add dressing or anything to salad?

[@jodiejett4300]

The vita mix machines are so expensive. Can you tell me some blenders you recommend that are effective for grinding the veggies and seeds you use in your smoothies? I’m really loving your videos! Thank you!!

[@marieandpreciouscuteanimal5010]

Jodie I have a Blendtec Blender. Love it! Costco has lifetime warranty. Or Bed Bath & Beyond.

[@AnnaBlueStar]

Hi Sophie, please can you tell me if the beans were pre cooked when you first put them into the dinner recipe? Thanks Anna

[@lf7065]

I had the same thought, because she didn't say, but they appeared pre-cooked/canned to me.

[@kimlarjohnson2263]

i have bee using a slow cooker for ages. before i used to only use it when i was in because i work during day & teach 2 eves a week to adults. Now that i am home working for day job i can use slow cooker and keep eye on vs away from home 12 hrs.. sometimes when i cook a meal like stew or hot pot after a while it tastes vinegary. i wondered if it was something i was doing? in cold months i don't put slow cooker meals in fridge. or is it a certain veg i use that ferments. Any ideas?

[@theresaluy9056]

What supplements do you take and what is your oil free dressing ? 🥰

[@slate2103]

Love your slow cooker. Ive just seen you can get just the base, which is perfect, what kind of pot is sutible to use on top, would a dutch oven work? ceramic pot??

[@SophieUlianoGorgeouslyGreen]

I use a 360 Cookware pot on top because it fits perfectly in the base. If you're looking to buy one, use the code SOPHIE20 at checkout for added discounts!!

[@slate2103]

@@SophieUlianoGorgeouslyGreen aww thanks for reply. The 360 pots are expensive hence for asking what other kind of pot is sutible for base. 🤗

[@slate2103]

Great informative channel by the way.

Is your slow cooker a 4 qt or 6 qt?

[@donna7083]

What if you’re allergic to onion and garlic?

[@julieomalley2369]

[@lafamillecarrington]

I don't understand why you start the onion on the hob when it is cooked in water - it would be just the same in the slow cooker, but would save energy. Regarding the porridge - 3 minutes in the microwave and 3 minutes sitting and you have the same effect - again saving energy.

[@SophieUlianoGorgeouslyGreen]

Thanks for those important energy-saving tips:-)

[@ck8504]

Wonderful meal prep. What is your blood type?

[@annad1942]

soy milk even if organic...not a go sorry. soy is GMO regardless, use almond or hemp or coconut milk

[@patty-cf7jj]

That looks like a green juice, not a smoothie.

[@SophieUlianoGorgeouslyGreen]

It's actually a smoothie thinned out with coconut water!

[@ehswissie]

Your dinner portion is tiny!!!

[@SophieUlianoGorgeouslyGreen]

I only spooned a small amount into the bowl, but usually eat double that!!!

[@StillWatersRunDeep101]

I thought soy products are one of the top 10 GMO foods, at least here in America. Right up there with corn, baby.

[@Modernpioneermamapodcast]

I learned recently that of its organic soy it’s very good for you. As long as it’s organic😉
