Simply add your mushrooms of choice, herbs, and broth, and cook until tender.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll need a pound of mushrooms, so choose your favorite (or use different varieties). While cooking, the mushrooms will absorb flavors from the garlic, thyme, and bay leaves.<\/p>\n<p>And because the slow cooker is, well, slower, it gives the herbs more time to infuse into the mushrooms. Near the end, almond milk and a smidgen of butter get added for extra creaminess and flavor.<\/p>\n<p>Serve these slow cooker mushrooms as a side dish with any lean protein, spoon them on top of pasta or zucchini noodles, or try them with scrambled eggs.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-10170280790\" src=\"https:\/\/bod-blog-assets.prod.cd.beachbodyondemand.com\/bod-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Slow_Cooker_Garlic_and_Herb_Mushrooms_in_post.jpg\" alt=\"Slow Cooker Mushrooms with Garlic and Herbs\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<p>\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"133\" src=\"https:\/\/bod-blog-assets.prod.cd.beachbodyondemand.com\/bod-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Slow_Cooker_Garlic_and_Herb_Mushrooms-150x133.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wprm-recipe-name\">Slow Cooker Garlic and Herb Mushrooms<\/h2>\n<p>This healthy version of steakhouse-worthy slow cooker mushrooms with garlic and herbs are a must-try for any mushroom lover.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t<span class=\"wprm-recipe-details-icon\"><\/span> <span class=\"wprm-recipe-details-name wprm-recipe-servings-name\">Servings<\/span> <span class=\"wprm-recipe-details wprm-recipe-servings\">4<\/span> <span class=\"wprm-recipe-details-unit wprm-recipe-servings-unit\">servings, approx. \u00bd cup each<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredients\">\n<li class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-amount\">1<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-unit\">lb.<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-name\">whole mushrooms, (like brown, button, or cremini), stems trimmed<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-amount\">4<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-unit\">cloves<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-name\">garlic, finely chopped<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-amount\">2<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-unit\">Tbsp<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-name\">finely chopped fresh thyme<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-amount\">1<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-name\">bay leaf<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-amount\">\u00bd<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-unit\">cup<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-name\">low-sodium organic vegetable broth<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-name\">Sea salt (or Himalayan salt) and ground black pepper (to taste; optional)<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-amount\">\u00bc<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-unit\">cup<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-name\">unsweetened almond milk<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-amount\">2<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-unit\">Tbsp<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-name\">unsalted butter<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-amount\">2<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-unit\">Tbsp<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-name\">chopped fresh parsley (for garnish; optional)<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol class=\"wprm-recipe-instructions\">\n<li class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction\">\n<p>Place mushrooms, garlic, thyme, and bay leaf in a 3-quart slow cooker.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction\">\n<p>Add broth.
