Healthy Dinner Ideas Instant Pot

We started compiling healthier meals with this Instant Pot chicken recipes roundup and after making Ninja Foodi popcorn.

Once we got our new pressure cooker AND air fryer we added more Ninja Foodi chicken recipes to our website and kept going from there.

Let’s start with a few basic tips:

Make sure to Bookmark our InstaPot recipes page. We add new ones each week!

- This is a great InstaPot cookbook and set of wooden utensils are great to grab too.
- I HIGHLY recommend you buy this non stick pot. It is easier to clean and will avoid the burn message too.

For reference, this is the pressure cooker I have and use for all recipe creations.

This healthy electric pressure cooker recipes post combines all the recipes we love. All are lower in calories and fat cooked in your Ninja Foodi or other brand though. Like this pressure cooker ham and beans recipe.

Many use dry beans and fresh vegetables like our pressure cooker bean soup. It’s so naturally flavorful it really needs little to no seasoning.

For all these healthy electric pressure cooker recipes I use my 6 qt. Instant Pot but a larger version would work as well.

I also have this Ninja Foodi and Mealthy. I use them all depending on the day and the dish I am making.

As many people do I tried to focus this year on eating healthier. I love using my multi cooker so I paired the two and created several healthy Instant Pot recipes we have enjoyed day after day for dinner.

Is the Instant Pot a healthy way to cook?

I will say ABSOLUTELY! I’ve never cooked so many homemade meals before on an ongoing basis. It is just so easy to follow these Instant Pot cook times to create fall off the bone meat and Instant Pot casseroles my family loves.

Wondering how do I cook fish in a pressure cooker? It’s way easier than you probably think! We love Instant Pot Fish and Instant Pot tilapia with vegetables because it’s cooked separately but yet together in different compartments.

Instant Pot bok choy is a great veggie side dish too.

That way the flavors stay to themselves until you put them on your plate. Really accentuates the natural flavors of the fish and all I used was olive oil and a bit of oregano and seasoned salt. Flaky and perfect when done.

I’ve got more healthy Instant Pot recipes for you though, we aren’t done my friends.

We love our homemade Instant Pot Split Pea Soup Recipe that takes just 17 minutes. As well as this light and flavorful Instant Pot Italian Wedding Soup
