Instructions

Mix the onion powder, garlic powder, thyme, parsley, salt and pepper together in a bowl. Rub the seasoning mix into the pot roast really well, covering the entire thing.
Add the broth to the slow cooker then place the pot roast in it. Add the Worcestershire sauce then place the onion, carrots and potatoes around and over the top. Cover and cook on low 6-8 hours.
Remove the pot roast and veggies from the slow cooker once finished and set aside on a plate.
If making the gravy, use the leftover liquid in the slow cooker by adding the arrowroot powder (or cornstarch). Whisk continuously until the flour disolves and the water thickens. This should take less than 5 minutes. You can also pour the liquid in a saucepan and heat to thicken.
Shred the pot roast with a fork and serve with gravy and veggies.

To buy a lean roast, I recommend asking for it specifically from the meat department at your store. If you use a regular roast, you can cut off the fat or note the calories and fat content will be higher.
For Paleo, omit the Worcestershire sauce and replace with balsamic vinegar.
