It’s no secret that choosing the best foods is no easy task when you’re trying to boost your metabolism. It’s definitely tricky navigating the healthiest foods for your gut health. And it doesn’t come as a surprise that we all don’t even have enough time in the day to cook the tastiest of meals that will satisfy both your waistline and your taste buds.
Luckily, that’s where the Instant Pot comes in to play. Instant Pots are amazing because not only are they low maintenance, they also cook things in, well, an instant. You can easily whip up so many yummy and healthy recipes by cooking them in an Instant Pot.
Before you start digging for recipes yourself, we’ve gathered four Instant Pot ingredients to boost your metabolism and speed up weight loss. How amazing is that?!
Our first recommended recipe comes from Platings and Pairings with their Instant Pot Weight Loss Soup recipe. It is truly the best (and easiest) recipe to cook up on a winter day. This particular soup is loaded with amazing vegetable flavors yet it’s also low in fat and calories-- which makes it ideal for weight loss. This recipe makes a total of 14 cups of soup so you can stock up your freezer all season long for easy accessible lunches and dinners.
The next two recipe suggestions are side dish recipes that will help boost your metabolism. Try following this Buttered Instant Pot Spinach recipe from The Typical Mom for a hearty and nutritious side to almost any meal. All you’ll need are some fresh spinach leaves, onions, olive oil, salt and pepper, garlic, and optional diced bacon and chili powder for extra spice. This recipe is truly so easy and so delicious!
Another great side dish recipe for your metabolism is this Instant Pot Spicy Brussels Sprouts recipe from Corrie Cooks. This particular recipe takes just three minutes to prep and another three minutes to cook in an Instant Pot. Not only are the brussels sprouts loaded with nutritional value, they’re also jam-packed with flavor.
We leave you with a yummy Instant Pot breakfast, or snack, recipe idea. We recommend trying this Instant Pot Egg Bites recipe from Pressure Cooking Today. Egg bites are loaded with protein and they also help to boost your metabolism. These egg bites will definitely be able to hold you over until your next meal thanks to their six grams of protein. Egg bites can also be easily stored in your freezer the next time you need to reheat a quick on-the-go breakfast or snack.
