20 Healthy Instant Pot Recipes to slim you down fast in the New Year! Delicious, healthy, and quick – does it get any better??
For Christmas this year, I bought myself an Instant Pot Mini! What? You don’t buy yourself Christmas gifts? Well I do, and in my defense my Instant Pot Mini was on a crazy Black Friday sale through Amazon – so I don’t feel that badly. Plus, it was the best $40 I ever spent on a kitchen appliance! Mostly because it’s about 8 appliances in one – pressure cooker, slow cooker, saute pan, steamer, yogurt maker and so on! I love a multi-tasking appliance.
It’s mind boggling how much I can do with it! I had been wanting one for months and months now, but considering how many appliances I own (and how many we don’t use), I wasn’t sure I would use it that often. However, we’re using it several times a week and we both love it! I make soups, stews, artichokes, tacos, oatmeal… honestly I haven’t been disappointed with anything I’ve made yet. My next adventure is going to be making yogurt – I’m pretty excited about it!
The holidays have officially come and gone and let’s be real, we’ve been eating like it’s our job! I’m pretty sure I also gave myself 10 extra pounds for Christmas – not as useful as my Instant Pot, let me tell you. Like most people, we are going on a serious healthy eating, detoxification for the next several weeks. Since I still want to use my new favorite toy, I found the most amazing healthy Instant Pot recipes on the web!

Instant Pots and Accessories
In case you didn’t buy yourself one for Christmas, or Santa didn’t bring you one, I highly recommend in investing in one! Because there are just two of us in our house, I invested in the Instant Pot Mini and it’s the perfect size for us. It easily makes enough for 4 hearty portions which is perfect for left overs the next day. However, I am considering ditching my huge slow cooker and just investing in a regular size Instant Pot – yeah I really love it that much! I also love my Skoo silicone egg poaching cups and vegetable steamer. It seriously makes perfectly poached eggs in 3 minutes and with very little work!

I have to try all of these recipes. I am in love with my Instant Pot and I am always looking for new recipes to make with it.
We got an instant pot for Christmas this year! One of my plans is to use it fairly often, and these recipes will come in handy!
For someone who can’t cook, an instant pot can be really helpful. I should try to use some of these
I prefer to not reveal if I do or do not {as far as you know} buy myself Christmas gifts, but I didn’t buy this one this year and have Insta-pot envy. Maybe I need to invest in one as well?
I have wondered if the brand name is important or if they are all pretty much the same?
I love eating healthy, even if it’s the Holidays. I think these recipe are perfect, I’ve always liked cooking using the instant pot because it’s such a breeze!
I so need to get an InstaPot. I’m feeling left out.
A few great ones on this list that I need to try. I’m loving my instant pot and all the things that it can do. Just tried yogurt this weekend for the first time.
I am hoping to get an Instant Pot for my birthday in a few weeks. I will have to save this post so I can have some great recipes to make in it!
Man! This makes me want an Instant Pot so badly! I keep trying to convince hubby we need one! Maybe these recipes will help!
My boyfriend bought me one for Christmas (after I asked him to return the pressure canner that scares the crap out of me!) I can’t wait for it to come in so I can start playing with it.
I seriously need an Instant Pot. LOL I feel like everyone has them and loves them! I’m sure there are good reasons why (set it and forget it, making delicious meals without putting in too much work?). I love that these are healthy and easy meals- I’ll definitely want to consider getting one going into the new year… and yes, I DO buy myself Christmas gifts- it’s the only way to get what I REALLY want for Christmas. LOL
I do not have an Instant Pot…but do have a pressure cooker and slow cooker. I think I can make some of these in there too.
Now I want an Instant Pot even more. All those accessories make it an even more useful tool in the kitchen. I love that there is a min pot for smaller households. I may have to look into getting one of those.
These all look delicious! I have been debating on if I want to get an instant pot, and I think I really do need one! I know my SIL loves hers.
Wow these are great options to carry one through the holidays or any other time of year. I am always looking for great and easy recipes like these. Thanks for sharing.
Instantpot is one of my favorite kitchen appliances, in fact I have two of them. I am always looking for more recipes. Thanks for sharing!
I buy myself Christmas gifts too, although I didn’t this year. I have yet to purchase an instant pot, but these recipes are sorely tempting me to do so!
Ha ha! Yes, I agree…why not buy yourself a Christmas gift? And sometimes we don’t always get what we want. In fact, I have a pressure cooker and I’ve been meaning to use it more. We sort of get stuck in a rut don’t we. Now I have 20 great recipes for inspiration. Bookmarking this one! Thank you.
I have to admit, I haven’t jumped on the Instant Pot train. I’m like you were, I already don’t use all the appliances I have now. Plus, I don’t have space for a new one! And that’s my current problem with some of my others…I have them stored away in a cabinet above the fridge, and never remember they are there.
I feel so out of the loop! I need to buy an instant pot asap! I love the sound of these recipes.
I recently got an instant pot and bookmarking your page to try some of these healthy recipes soon. Everything looks so good that I’m gonna have a tough time deciding what to try first 🙂

wait. there is an instapot mini. I just get one too! Love the round up of all the healthy recipes. The instapot makes it so much easier to eat healthy!
No lie, one of my New Year’s resolutions is to learn how to use my mom’s Crock-pot! I love being able to have dinner ready when everyone gets home from work/school, but cooking is not my strong suit…hopefully this will help!!
I have one sitting in the box I still haven’t opened. I need to just get it out and try it. I definitely will be going through all these links to find one to try out.
I’ve only just seen people talking about the instant pot in the U.K. recently, think I’ll have to get one. Thanks for sharing these recipes they look ace!
