Healthy Instant Pot Recipes Volume 2
It's hard to decide the best part of this dinner- the hidden veggies, the huge serving size, or the crazy quick cook time. All reasons to love Chili Mac any night of the week!
This is great with steak or you can even use ground beef if you're on a budget. The lettuce wraps give it a great crunch while keeping it low carb and full of fiber!
The Instant Pot allows you to cook a healthier alternative to a rotisserie chicken right at home. Even cooking right from frozen, it will come out great every time if you follow my tips! Butternut Squash Risotto is an easy and fancy side to go with your chicken - it will feel like a restaurant at home!
I love this low carb version of Hamburger Helper made in minutes using the Instant Pot. Both saute and pressure cook functions are used to make this cheesy, yummy veggie filled dinner!
Zucchini Lasagna is the perfect recipe for an Instant Pot airfryer lid combo. While not required, it will give you a nice crispy crust on the cheese to dig into! YUM!
I'm not sure which part of this dish shines more- the crispy carnitas or the homemade avocado peach salsa! Taco Tuesday just got a whole lot more interesting!
The filling for these taquitos starts in the IP and is soo dreamy! I love to serve buffalo chicken taquitos with some crunchy raw veggies like baby carrots and celery.
Loaded cauliflower mash is the ultimate hidden veggie! It's perfect paired with Baked Lemon Garlic Chicken for a complete dinner!
I will forever be grateful to a reader who suggested that I make a FIX approved low carb/ hidden veggie cheeseburger soup. Either plain or with extra burger toppings, it's amazing!
This is a super simple and insanely delicious recipe from the archives which has been updated with IP directions! Another recipe perfect for your IP/air fryer combo to get the melty and crispy cheese layer at the end!
This soup has been the big bowl of comfort I've needed this year. With immunity boosting ingredients like ginger, garlic, and turmeric, it's some of the best tasting- and best for you- soups I've ever had!
A reader favorite from the past year! Since cooking pasta in the Instant Pot is so quick, this flavorful dinner is on the table in record time!
The comment I hear most about these meatballs is a double batch is a MUST! They will get gobbled up so fast (and you'll definitely want leftovers for lunch!) Serve over cauli rice and green beans for a veggie filled bowl of yum!
I love making soup in my IP and this Chicken Wild Rice soup is a great healthy version to some of the canned options out there. Packed with veggies, lean protein, and fiber- it will keep you full for hours!
You will never go back to making mashed potatoes any other way than right in your IP. No more babysitting the pot and they come out perfect every time with just 10 minutes of cooktime! I love to make them with Balsamic Pork Tenderloin and a green veggie!
This recipe is sooo versatile and forgiving! It was made to use pantry and freezer ingredients you already have on hand when you're trying stretch your budget, or just can't get a grocery delivery slot until tomorrow!
This yummy, hands-off (thanks to the IP) chicken curry is full of flavor, but not spicy. Can you guess the hidden veggie ingredient? If you want, round out your plate with a side of green beans or broccoli and you're set!
Similar to the low carb cauliflower version, this healthier hamburger helper is a crowd pleasing dinner with just one pot to wash! Woohoo!
Hidden veggie tomato soup and crispy cheese chips is the remade comfort food of grilled cheese and tomato soup - perfect for a snow day, lunch, or easy dinner!
Balsamic chicken was the first recipe I ever made in my Instant Pot, so it's perfect for beginners! It's delicious over zoodles but you can always serve it over pasta for the rest of the gang!
Breakfast for dinner, for meal prep, or make ahead brunch is the perfect time to try out a frittata in your IP! This one uses spinach, bacon, and feta but feel free to use your favorite veggie, meat, and cheese combination!
Using the Pot In Pot method, this BBQ Chicken is the sauciest! Pair it with the no mayo coleslaw recipe found in the post and you'll have a summer time meal ready to go any time of year!
Originally a skillet recipe, pumpkin pasta works great in the Instant Pot! With just 2 minutes of cook time, dinner will be on the table in no time!
Using riced cauliflower in your taco meat is a genius way to stretch your budget and sneak in some veggies and fiber. No one can ever tell the difference!!
When you have more fresh tomatoes than you know what to do with - you can make fresh tomato sauce in the IP! Use whichever varieties you happen to have, and NO peeling required!! Then brown some ground beef for a meat sauce and serve it over zoodles, spaghetti squash or pasta for a complete meal!
Gluten free, dairy free butternut squash soup is comforting and delicious! The perfect pair to a sandwich or salad for lunch or dinner.
This is a different twist on a chili, but a total crowd pleaser! Sweet and savory with lean protein and some greens for added fiber. Give it a try!
This is the perfect late summer/early fall recipe when you have fresh corn still, but there is a chill in the air signaling soup weather! There are tons of hidden veggies too!
