When you're a busy person, the slow cooker is your best friend, but when you're on Weight Watchers, sometimes it takes a little more effort to put together a meal that you know fits into your daily points budget. Luckily, with a little research — and the help of these recipes — you can have both! We've pulled together 21 recipes that are all seven or fewer Weight Watchers SmartPoints per serving, and there's a little bit of everything: breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They're pretty easy to throw together in your slow cooker and will either feed you and your family or give you multiple servings to package up and last you through the week. Weight Watchers doesn't have to be hard, and with this recipe guide, it definitely won't be.
