7 Instant Pot Recipes for Weight Watchers

If you are like me, you are suffering from the aftermath of the Holidays.  Maybe you got an Instant Pot for Christmas.  Maybe you are intimidated to use it and aren’t sure how it’s going to go.  I’m here to help you with these 7 Instant Pot recipes for Weight Watchers (each recipe uses Freestyle points).

*If you don’t have an Instant Pot, you can get one here.

Before we jump into the recipes, I have a few tips to help you get comfortable with your new Instant Pot.

  1. Read the manual.  I can’t stress this part enough.  I was so intimidated to try the Instant Pot because the idea of it scared me.  But I really had nothing to fear.  Just read the manual to get comfortable with the terminology and how to use it.
  2. Complete the test in the manual.  This is great and easy because it helps you get used to how it works and when things are at pressure or when the pressure has been released.
  3. Make sure that the pressure gauge is DOWN before you open the lid.  That little metal piece on the lid will go up and down depending on the level of pressure.  Before you open the lid make sure that little round metal piece is DOWN.  That means the pressure has been released.
  4. Try out all the different buttons on the front panel.  I admittedly only really use SAUTE and MANUAL (sometimes I have used Poultry), but I haven’t really tried the other options.  I want to experiment with those this year to get comfortable using them as well as MANUAL.
