Servings: 8 - 1.25 cups per serving - 181 kcal/9g protein
1 sweet potato medium, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
3 carrots large, peeled and sliced
1 celery stalk diced
1 yellow onion small, diced
1 garlic clove minced
pinch of kosher or sea salt more or less to taste
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon allspice
1 teaspoon paprika
1 bay leaf
30 ounces navy beans cans, drained and rinsed (optional black beans)
4 cups vegetable broth low-sodium
14 1/2 ounces diced tomatoes can, no salt added, *this is an optional ingredient
4 cups baby spinach loosely packed (optional 2 zucchini, sliced)
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil optional, for serving (1/2 teaspoon per serving)
1. Add all ingredients, except spinach and olive oil, to the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low 6 to 8 hours, or until the vegetables are tender. Add spinach, stir and continue cooking just until wilted, approximately 5 minutes. Serve and enjoy!
Tip: If you prefer a thicker soup, after 5 hours of cooking, simply remove 1 cup of soup, along with ingredients, mash ingredients with a fork, return to the slow cooker, stir and continue cooking 1 to 3 hours. When serving, drizzle a little (optional) olive oil over each bowl of soup.
Stovetop Method: Follow the same instructions above for prep, cover, and simmer until veggies are tender, approximately 2 hours. Stir every 15 minutes to prevent sticking. Add spinach at the end of cooking time, remove from heat, cover and allow spinach to wilt before serving.

I’m starting the military diet today with a few changes.
One- I’m pescatarian so I’m replacing the day 1 meat with some vegetarian chicken. And the hot dogs with these Beyond Meat sausages cause that’s what my grocery store had.
I’m also replacing the saltines with wheat thins, cause I already have them at my house and eating Greek yogurt instead of cottage cheese cause I hate cottage cheese.
Two- I’m not necessarily going to eat the meals in order.
☕️ autumn safe food ideas
- tall sugarfree almond milk cinnamon dolce cappuccino from Starbucks is only 60 - 70kcal, dairy free (no zits! No bloating), spiced like all my favourite fall treats and cozy warm for those brisk mornings
- 6” veggie delux sandwich on 9 grain wheat bread from Subway, toasted with no cheese, all the good veg, and topped with sweet onion + yellow mustard is delicious, savoury, filling and only 250kcal
- cinnamon raisin bagel with a little butter and an additional sprinkle of nutmeg or cinnamon on top; approximately 250kcal (depending on where you get the bagel)
- sliced apple with cinnamon sprinkle on top is a fantastic crunchy mid day treat that always fills my stomach and settles sweets cravings for no more than 60kcal ✨ you can also heat this up in the microwave or in the oven (if you have time!) for an apple pie filling sorta deal - just add a bit of water or lemon juice and a teaspoon of sugar!
I could have the coffee with the bagel for breakfast, the apple sometime around lunch and the sandwich for dinner and stay under 650kcal for the entire day 🤟🏻🍂☕️
my new go-to low cal meal is broccoli stir fried in tamari sauce on top of cauliflower rice. the whole thing is under 100 cals (depends how much u make also I haven’t actually looked up how many cals this is but I’m assuming it’s very low). I like to add pepper, garlic, and cayenne to the broccoli and it’s literally so good and satisfying it’s like healthy crack

2 large zucchini, cut into noodles (3 cups of zoodles) see prep tip below
2 tablespoons reduced-fat butter or Smart Balance Light
2 teaspoons garlic, minced
⅛ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
12 large shrimp, shelled and deveined (about ½ pound), I used frozen and defrosted
2½ tablespoons white wine or reduced-sodium chicken broth
1½ tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons Parmesan cheese, grated
1. Prepare zoodles, see prep tip below. Place zoodles in a microwave-safe bowl and cook in the microwave for about 2 minutes, until softened.
2. In the meantime, in a large nonstick pan, heat butter over medium-low heat. Add garlic and crushed red pepper flakes and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
3. Add shrimp to pan and cook, stirring often, until they are cooked throughout and pink on all sides, about 2 minutes. Season shrimp with a little salt and pepper. Using a slotted spoon, transfer them to a bowl, leaving any liquid in the pan.
4. Increase heat to medium. To the same pan, add white wine and lemon juice. Using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, scrape any brown bits from the bottom of the pan, cooking the wine and lemon juice for 2 minutes. Add the softened zucchini noodles and cooked shrimp. Toss to combine and heat about 30 seconds.
5. Divide the zoodles among 2 plates and spread out over the plate. Top each with 6 shrimp. Sprinkle each serving with 1 teaspoon Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.
Makes 2 servings. Each serving 6 shrimp and ½ the zoodles.
