Instant Pot Meal Prep Recipes
If the word "Instant" is involved you better believe we will be including it in our weekly meal preps. Who wouldn't want recipes that make your Sunday meal prep adventures easier? We're raising BOTH our hands here, because we sure do! The less time spent in the kitchen and the more time spent with our families, the better.
Basically, the Instant Pot is a pressure cooker, and therefore can accelerate the cooking time of your meals. You can make a WHOLE lot of different types of meals in this handy appliance. You'll see.
So, what can this magical kitchen tool do? It saves you time and money (and time is worth money!), and it can help you batch prep meals and eat healthier. Sign us up!
We think you get the point. Saving time + saving money + eating healthier = the keys to ongoing meal prep success! To help you get started we have compiled a list of more than a dozen Meal Prep Instant Pot Recipes that will rock your tastebuds.
Pair any of the proteins with your favorite whole grain or rice alternative for a well-rounded and balanced meal. Or, you can even alternate with different proteins or vegan options in each of these recipes to add variety and cater to you and your family's preferences.
So, what are you waiting for (besides the appliance to finish)? It's time to get meal prepping.
