Are you looking for a way to feed your family the healthiest and most delicious meals?
Of course, we’re all interested in eating better…
But one of the main reasons we make unhealthy choices is the extensive time it can take to make fresh meals from scratch.
So, what if I told you that you can easily create succulent five-star meals, bursting with flavor and brimming with nutrition… while spending up to 90% less time in the kitchen?
Sounds too good to be true, right?
Well, it’s not…
In fact, with a little planning and the right tools, you can prepare the healthiest meals you’ve ever set on the table… often in a matter of only minutes.
So, what’s the secret?
The secret is one of the best kitchen investments you’ll ever make – an Instant Pot electronic pressure cooker – paired with your very own personalized Instant Pot Meal Plan.
The Instant Pot Meal Plan: Quick & Delicious Results (Plus Optimal Nutrition)It is not news that our population is overfed and undernourished. Researchers estimate that the nutrients in our foods have dramatically declined (up to 50 percent in some foods!) due to the depletion of nutrients in agricultural soils.
When you combine this with traditional cooking methods that destroy or drain away nutrients, the result is meals that don’t provide the nutrition your body needs.
In fact, many health-enhancing nutrients – especially water soluble ones like vitamin C – are sensitive to heat. But the main reason these nutrients are degraded is because of extensive cooking times (ahem, we’re talking to you slow cooker!).
But when you use pressure to cook your meals a’ la the Instant Pot, you dramatically slash cooking time and minimize nutrient loss. Let’s take a look at the research:
In addition to better nutrient retention, you will also find that pressure cooker recipes taste better too. That’s because pressure cooking bathes your food in steam as it cooks. This helps to maintain moisture levels, which translates to juicier, better tasting food.
Say goodbye dry, tough meats and say hello melt-in-your-mouth tender goodness!
And that “tenderness” is a key sign that food is easier for your body to digest, which can make a dramatic impact on the nutrients you absorb…
Get More “Nutritional Bang per Bite” With an Instant Pot Meal PlanIn addition to reducing nutrient loss and maximizing tender, juicy flavor, there are other ways a pressure cooker can benefit your health.
We’ve all heard the adage, “You are what you eat.”
And while this is true, it’s more accurate to say, “You are what you absorb.”
Boosting digestibility is the key to extracting greater nutritional value from every melt-in-your-mouth bite… and the Instant Pot helps you accomplish this too.
The combination of steam and pressure can make even the toughest meats succulent and tender. But it’s not only meats that become easier for your body to assimilate. In the case of the hard-to-break-down proteins in legumes, the pressure cooker has been found to increase digestibility by as much as 84 percent. (ref)
And in addition to maximizing the nutrients you get from your food… cooking with the Instant Pot can also dramatically minimize health-harming compounds in your food.
Reduce Health-Harming Compounds (Including Acrylamide, HCA’s, Lectins & Phytic Acid)
There are a number of harmful compounds found in foods, as well as others which can be created by the cooking process.
And research shows the Instant Pot can help in both cases.
For example, many plant foods (especially grains and legumes) contain phytic acid and lectins. These compounds are known as anti-nutrients, because they can bind to important minerals and make them indigestible.
But anti-nutrients are significantly reduced when foods are prepared in the Instant Pot.
One study, published in Plant Foods for Human Nutrition, found that the phytic acid in peas that were soaked overnight and then boiled was reduced by 29 percent. However, the reduction in phytic acid was almost double (54 percent) when the peas were soaked overnight and then pressure cooked. (ref). Similar results were found with regard to reduction of lectins. (ref)
When food is cooked in pressurized steam, it helps your meals stay moist and succulent. But this isn’t just important for your culinary enjoyment… it also a much healthier way to cook.
Cooking your food with methods that involve dry heat, high heat, grilling and frying can cause quite a number of dangerous compounds to form – compounds that were not necessarily your food before it was cooked.
This can include acrylamide, heterocyclic amines (HCAs), advanced-glycation end products (AGEs), lipid oxidation products (LOPs) and more. These compounds are heavily associated with everything from macular degeneration to cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer’s and diabetes.
And all of these checmicals are reduced when we choose to cook at lower temperatures, in the moist-heat environment of the Instant Pot. (ref, ref, ref, ref)
So now that you know about the serious health- and flavor-boosting benefits of the Instant Pot, you may be wondering, “So what can I cook in it?”
Virtually anything! Before I tell you about all of the delicious meals you can make in the Instant Pot, I want you to know that you can...
And if all these benefits aren’t enough, consider the time and money you can save by pressure cooking more of your food.
With the Instant Pot, you can cook a whole chicken to fork tender in 30 minutes… make shredded pork soft enough to pull apart with a butter knife in less than 2 hours… whip up gelatin-rich bone broth in 30 minutes… cook a large winter squash in 10 minutes… as well as Brussels sprouts (and most other veggies) in less than five!
Take a look at the time reductions of traditional cooking versus Instant Pot Cooking:
(*Times listed do not include pressurizing and de-pressurizing)
Buying larger cuts of meat (like whole chickens and large roasts) is a great way to save money. And these larger cuts of meat also make perfect freezer meals, for those nights when you are too tired or too busy to cook.
The Instant Pot is also your best friend for turning one delicious recipe into several several new and different meals…
Here at Meal Genius we’ve created a system called Meals Cubed that allows you to transform one simple Instant Pot recipe… into three ingenious meals!
You’ll transform a fork-tender pork tenderloin… into Pork Tenderloin with Olives & Avocado… to Quick Paleo Pork Tacos… and Mediterranean Pork with Roasted Red Pepper & Arugula Salad.
Or how about a melt-in-your-mouth whole chicken that becomes Creamy Chicken Salad… Paleo Chicken Cobb… and quick Chicken Zoodle Soup.
The possibilities are practically endless. And considering the time and mess you’ll save, you may never want to cook any other way!
Best of all, this feature is included in all of our Meal Genius meal plans (with just ONE click!) and you can customize it to any dietary needs you have.
From Paleo, Keto, Low FODMAPs to AIP and just about any other special diet in between – we’ve got you covered.
And the benefits don’t end there…
You can also adjust your number of portions so you’ll have enough for everyone or to “freeze it forward” using our handy Freezer Meal Tools.
Before I gush any more about the Instant Pot...
Please Allow Me to Introduce MyselfMy name is Kelley Herring.
I’m the author of hundreds of articles and more than a dozen books (including a series published by McGraw Hill) on the power of foods to promote health and protect against disease.
And while my background is nutritional biochemistry, my true passion is translating nutritional science into practical solutions.
Over the years, I’ve created more than two thousand healing recipes and menus.
But the truth is that recipes alone are not very practical... what you need is a plan!
Eating is something we all do every day…
Yet, with never-ending to-do lists, making a plan for the foods we’re going to buy and prepare is often the last thing on our mind. So we “wing it” at the store. We eat out more than we should. And we end up eating the same foods over and over again at home.
Our health suffers for the sake of convenience. We spend more time in the kitchen. Make more trips to the store. And more of the food we buy goes to waste.
A meal plan and shopping list creates order from this chaos. It reduces stress, saves you time and money and helps you enjoy the very best of health!
The only problem is that…
Even for the most organized home cook, it is a huge challenge to create new meal plans and shopping lists week after week.
If you have to plan around allergies, intolerances and other health concerns (or if you wish to follow a “special diet” like the ketogenic diet) the time and effort can be overwhelming.
Not to mention planning for an entire family!
And unfortunately most “done-for-you” meal plans don’t cater to YOUR needs…
We all have different budgets for food… different sized families and appetites… different likes and dislikes… and different health concerns to manage.
But our differences don’t end there, because…
Each one of us is biochemically and genetically unique.
This is why two people can follow the same diet with very different results. It is also why a healthy food for one person… could actually make YOU sick!
So, why should your meal plan be the same as everyone else’s?
It shouldn’t, of course, and that is why…
My goal was to bring nutritional science into the kitchen… to take the guesswork out of meal planning... and to make it easy (and delicious) to follow even the strictest dietary protocol.
I wanted to deliver a program you can use to create meal plans that account for your taste preferences… your health concerns… your allergies and intolerances… and scaled to the exact number of servings (and appetites) in your family!
A plan that provides the most delicious organic meals – at better-than-drive-through prices – while you spend LESS time in the kitchen than you do today!
I never thought it would be easy, but I had no idea how difficult it would be. I thought it might take a few years. It has taken a decade.
But the good news is that my hard work is to your benefit. And the result of those efforts is a solution to easily create perfectly personalized meal plans for YOU!
It all begins with a simple Meal Plan Personalization Quiz.
