Here's another one pot meal to make in your crockpot with warm enchilada flavors. The fiber in the sweet potatoes along with the protein form the chicken slow down the digestion of the starch in the sweet potatoes so that you don't see a spike in your blood glucose. Make sure to pair with a non-starchy veggie like a salad! This is a great recipe for gut health with multiple fiber sources, especially if you keep the skin on the sweet potatoes as they are a great source of fiber at 6g in one cup, and contain the pre-biotic fiber called Oligosaccharides. And then using the Greek yogurt instead of sour cream you get a great dose of probiotics.
Crockpot or instapot green curry
Minimal prep time required to make this creamy curry in your crockpot. Make with any type of protein! We used a tofu block cut into chunks, but you could also use chicken breasts or thighs, or a chopped cut of pork or beef. Serve over rice or quinoa. Try with your choice of veggies such as broccoli, napa cabbage, bok choy, green beans, etc. Can also use yellow or red curry paste if you like those flavors more.

Spaghetti Squash with Tomatoes and Olives
Are your taste buds feeling adventurous? Most of us reach for yellow squash, zucchini, or butternut squash, but this is your challenge: spaghetti squash! This nutrient-packed gourd has lots of fiber for gut health, vitamin B-6 to keep your cells healthy, the antioxidant vitamin C, and beta-carotene for eye health and more antioxidant power. Spaghetti squash is great on its own or as a low-calorie, fiber-rich replacement for spaghetti noodles. You'll never know if you'll like spaghetti squash until you try it! Not a fan of olives? Add drained black beans or grilled chicken when you add the tomatoes, olives, cheese, and seasonings for a balanced, protein-rich meal.
