Free Recipe Ebook-250 Healthy Crockpot Recipes (more to come)

I am a huge collector of cookbooks. In fact, I have so many cookbooks that I have had to store some of them. That’s why in the past year or so I have become somewhat of an ebook junkie.  After all, it is easier to store things on my hard drive than to deal with too much clutter. I just purchased an ebook full of healthy crockpot recipes that came with the rights to sell it or give it away so I figured, why not give it to my visitors.

I just purchased this recipe  ebook yesterday and haven’t had a chance to try any of the recipes but if any of you do please feel free to share in the comments below. Some of the recipes do look really good, including pineapple chicken, crockpot apple pie, lots of soups and stews (will taste great this fall) casserole recipes, pasta, etc. The recipes also include the nutritional information for those who are counting calories,  carbs or Weight Watchers points.

So what’s the catch? There is none, although I hope you stop by and visit from time to time.

Free Healthy Crockpot Recipes

I do have plenty of recipe ebooks but I am not allowed to give all of them away. For example, the Amazing Smoothie Recipes ebook costs $9.95 but was well worth it considering all the bonuses you get with it.

I will start going through all of my healthy recipe ebooks and start sharing them here, maybe once a week or so, and share some of the recipes that I do try on my blog.

Triple Frozen Fruit Smoothie

This is a delicious and refreshing triple frozen fruit smoothie recipe. Actually, if you count the orange juice, we could call this a four fruit smoothie.  No sugar is necessary since the fruit and juice  adds plenty of sweetness, although you can add a tablespoon of honey if you like.

I started this blog with the intention of sharing my favorite diet smoothie recipes as well as other low calorie recipes.

I don’t know why it took me so long to realize this, but today it occurred to me that with a blog name like diet smoothies, visitors  who find this blog expect to get just that-plenty of diet smoothie recipes!

Three-Fruit Diet Smoothie

One thing that I enjoy about smoothies is that they really satisfy a sweet tooth without the need for excess sugar. And by combining milk, juice and fruit together this recipe results in a delicious and creamy diet smoothie with calcium, vitamins and protein. You can boost the protein even more by adding a scoop of vanilla whey protein powder. Read more…
