I don’t know if there’s anything better than a warm dessert with vanilla ice cream!

We have a whole list of favorites (like my Grandma’s Hot Fudge Sundae Cake, this Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp, or a slice of this Apple Upside Down Cake), but the ease of this Slow Cooker Berry Cobbler takes it right to the top of the list.

Berry Cobbler

With just 5-10 minutes of active prep time, it’s the perfect dessert to whip up in the afternoon if you find a moment of quiet, or while dinner is cooking for an after dinner treat.

This Berry Cobbler is also incredibly versatile.

You can use any berries you have, or add in other fruit that you have laying around and need to be used.

You can use fresh or frozen berries, so you can make it year round without sacrificing any flavor, but it tastes like summer.

If you love cobbler as much as we do, check out my Slow Cooker Peach Cobbler Recipe, Blueberry Cobbler Recipe, and Easy Crockpot Blackberry Cobbler Recipe.

How to make Crockpot Berry Cobbler:

Making cobbler in the slow cooker is not quite the same as making it in the oven.

There are several different ways to make cobbler, and they are all quite different.

Some cobbler recipes have a layer of fruit on the top, and crumbly biscuit-like cakes on the top.

Some cobbler recipes, like this one, have a layer of cake on the bottom, and a thick layer of fruit filling on top.

If you prefer your cobbler with crumbly biscuits, then this slow cooker version might not be your thing.

Crockpot cobbler will still have a thick cake layer, and a thick, oozing fruit layer, but slow cookers can’t do “crisp”. It is like a combination of cobbler and pudding cake, and we are 100% in love.

Just don’t skip the ice cream 😉

Variations on this Berry Cobbler:

As I mentioned above, you can make this crockpot cobbler with any fruit you have lying around. Try:

• peaches and raspberries
• strawberries, blackberries and blueberries
• blueberries, with some lemon zest added to the cake batter
• peaches, pears and pineapple
• get creative!

A healthy breakfast or snack to boost your metabolism and fill you up! You’ll never guess my secret ingredient

How is that for your typical January 6th recipe post, hey? Not just a smoothie, but a metabolism-boosting smoothie!

This is not some miracle smoothie that will magically undo all the Christmas cookies, candies, chocolate, gravy, etc. And no, I don’t know (nor do I care about) the amount of protein or calories in it. I’m not going to make you a bunch of promises about how if you drink this smoothie 14 times a week you will lose 10 pounds.

Before I had kids, I was really into nutrition (I know, right?! You think that’s totally weird!). I soaked up all the information available on the internet and health magazines, and loved it all.

But man, I am too busy to care about the exact number of whatever that is in everything I’m eating. What I’ve taken with me, though, is the knowledge of what’s good for me.

And sure, I completely ignore it sometimes (have you seen my December?!). But that doesn’t mean I don’t eat pretty well most of the time so that I can enjoy the things I want to enjoy in moderation the rest of the time.

So although I’m not really big on smoothie recipes (I just throw a bunch of good stuff in a blender and go!), there is one thing I’ve been adding to my daily smoothies for quite some time, and I think of it a bit as my Secret Weapon.

Green tea.

I know, it’s not that radical. But in most smoothie recipes I see, milk or juice is used as the liquid, and not that those things aren’t good for you (well, milk in particular), but I love using tea as my blending liquid because it is a big metabolism booster! And because I actually really dislike tea.

You don’t taste the tea (at all — I promise! Unless you want to and you add more), but I know it’s great for your health and boosts metabolism (and because coffee doesn’t go so well in smoothies…). I usually pick out a berry-flavored green tea with ginseng, and it pairs well with whatever fruit and yogurt you want to add.

Along with the tea, I throw in banana (potassium and fiber), berries (antioxidants and fiber), low fat Greek yogurt (protein and calcium), and quick oats (fiber and protein), but honestly? As long as the things I’m throwing in are good for me, I don’t really pay close attention to what and how much.
