Healthy Instant Pot recipes aren't unicorns! Here are 55 healthy recipes that you can make in your Instant Pot pressure cooker. Most of these are simple and use minimal ingredients.
I love my Instant Pot so much that I actually have two of them. The first recipes that I tried weren't the healthiest recipes.

One even had an entire stick of butter just to make pork chops. Yes, they were very good pork chops, but we can't eat an entire stick of butter each night.
Most recipes call for mixes or cream of something soup. I do have a great recipe for cream of something soup that I'll share here soon. As for the mixes, I make my own of those so we can eat healthier.
I'll be the first to admit that we don't eat healthy every night. But if I can lighten up a meal, then I'm all for it.
Here are some healthy Instant Pot recipes so you can use your new pressure cooker and stick to your new year, new you goals.
Before I get to the recipes, I want to talk about some changes that I'm trying here. In the middle of November, I got sick. I ended up leaving Thanksgiving dinner and spending the evening in the ER. They said I had a severe asthma attack.
Unfortunately, I can't take the meds that I need to take. So here we are going on seven weeks later and more ER visits later, and I am still sick. I'm short of breath, exhausted, and I can't stop coughing.
So I'm switching to two posts a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays for a while. When I get my energy back, I may switch back to three posts a week. Or I may stay at two a week for a while. I'm just not sure.
I had planned on some DIY recipes for this week, but I'm just not up to creating anything and taking photos yet. Hopefully soon.
HEALTHY INSTANT POT RECIPES
I make my own mixes so they are healthier with fresher ingredients and no preservatives or fillers. Here are my most used recipes:
- Onion Soup Mix With Turmeric
- Copycat Good Seasons Italian Dressing Mix
- Taco Seasoning Mix
- Brown Gravy Mix
I have the 6 quart Instant Pot Duo. I really love the model that I have because I can cook sides, whole meals, and desserts in it.
I like that it can also make yogurt. Homemade yogurt is amazing! I make it unsweetened and add my homemade jam (like this peach jam recipe) to sweeten it and flavor it.
