Anything that makes my life easier is awesome.
I’m always looking for something that makes me forget that I’m following a diet.
I know, I know, it’s a lifestyle change.
Are you feeling sluggish, tired and unmotivated like me right now?

Let’s get real.
While it may be a lifestyle change, I will always want the burger and fries over the chicken breast and vegetables.
Perhaps a lifestyle change, but also always a longing for tasty food.
These Skinny Pork and Slaw Sandwiches are so super, duper delicious you’ll never know it’s low calorie!
My favorite sandwich at a local restaurant is the fat and calorie laden version of this.
With this recipe I feel like I’m “cheating” when I’m really not!
In fact, the first time I had a pulled pork sandwich with slaw on it was at that restaurant a couple of years ago.
I kept hearing about how delicious that sandwich was.
I was hesitant to try it.
Coleslaw is delicious, but on a pulled pork sandwich? I was scared.
The warmth of the pulled pork is complimented so nicely by the tangy, cold slaw, I was blown away at how yummy it actually was.
The sandwich from the restaurant had cheese on it, but I don’t even miss it on these 7 Point Pork and Slaw Sandwiches.
The low calorie bun also tastes like a regular sandwich roll too.
I don’t miss that heavy bun from the restaurant at all!
These Skinny Pork and Slaw Sandwiches remind me of summer gatherings with family and friends.
Right now, spring is flirting with us in Wisconsin, so it’s so nice to get a little taste of summer to make these long, cold days a bit more bearable.
These are really tasty with a cold beer as well!
This recipe is easy because you cook the pork in the Crock Pot and used packaged coleslaw so the amount of time you spend cooking is minimal!
No chopping a giant head of cabbage and carrots Easy, peasy.
I love me a recipe that is delicious, fast, and most importantly, healthy!
Time saving recipes are what I’m all about these days with my busy schedule.
It’s so easy to make a quick dinner that is unhealthy when you’re in a time crunch, but this recipe is a cure to that problem.
You can use the extra time you save making this recipe to exercise!
Or, you can catch up on your mindless reality television shows like I do.
Just kidding, I exercise all the time.
You could easily make this recipe with chicken breasts too.
Chicken breasts are 0 points, so it would make this recipe even healthier.
You can nix the slaw, but it really adds such a great addition of flavor to this recipe.
When I made these Skinny Pork and Slaw Sandwiches, we had leftovers for three days with my family of three and a half.
Make sure you buy extra buns because you will have so much leftover you can eat this for lunch for a week after making it.
This recipe will freeze nicely too.
Just place in a freezer tight container and store it for another easy, healthy dinner another day.
