How to make these slow cooker stuffed peppers on healthy diets

The main calories in this recipe are for the cheese and sour cream. The sour cream is optional so don’t worry too much about that, you can always try my sour cream alternative.

The cheese can be swapped to a low-fat cheese if you or count the calories, points or syns accordingly.

Cheese is great for getting your daily calcium intake so don’t be too hard on yourself!
