40 Whole30 Instant Pot Recipes

January 11, 2017 By Becky 8 Comments

40 Whole30 Instant Pot Recipes (Paleo, Gluten free, Grain free)

Move over, slow cooker–you’ve been replaced! This roundup of Whole30 Instant Pot recipes will help you save tons of time and eat ridiculously well while meeting your nutritional goals.

Looking for more Whole30 recipes? Check out these 16 Whole30 Sheet Pan Dinners. Also, there are over 80 Whole30-compliant recipes in my cookbook, Paleo Planet!

If you don’t have an Instant Pot yet, you are missing out! This electronic pressure cooker has quickly become my number one kitchen gadget because it saves me so much time without sacrificing any flavor. I have this model, which is just $99 right now, but there’s also a new bluetooth version that looks pretty amazing.

With the Instant Pot, recipes that take all day in a slow cooker are done in just an hour or two, which is perfect for people like me who don’t excel at planning ahead. It also has a sauté feature, so you can brown meats right in the pot before pressure cooking.

And if you enjoy being able to have dinner simmering away slowly all day while you’re at work, worry not–in addition to high and low pressure settings, the Instant Pot also has slow cooker settings.

It’s perfect for making rice, too, so you can basically replace your crockpot and your rice cooker with this one miracle appliance. It’s also a great steamer, and has settings for pasteurizing milk and making yogurt (I have yet to use those, but I like knowing they’re there).

If you’re doing a January Whole30, these Instant Pot recipes will save you from food boredom while also saving you tons of time. Even if you’re not doing a Whole30, these healthful, real-food recipes are perfect for feeding you and your family any night of the week.

    You can’t have rice on Whole30.

      Yes, that’s correct! None of these recipes call for rice as an ingredient. There is rice in the picture with the carnitas but it’s not actually a part of the recipe–you can serve the pork with whatever you like! I recommend cauli rice (or avocado crema and a fried egg: http://acalculatedwhisk.com/carnitas-con-huevo/).

      Actually the new guidelines say you can have some white rice occasionally on the paleo diet, but probably not on the whole 30.

        There’s not one standard set of guidelines for paleo, but rice is, of course, not grain free. I do well with white rice myself and I eat plenty of it! It’s not allowed during a whole30, though, and I will be completely shocked if they ever change their minds to allow it :). I know a change was made a few years ago to allow white potatoes, but I think a grain is quite a different matter.

    I love these! I have had an instant pot for over a year now and we use it almost daily from making chicken to shred for salads or whatnot, stocks, soups, even posole and rice! I will have to try some of these recipes they all look so good!

    Thank you so much for sharing all these incredible recipes, Becky! Sadly, the Instant Pot has not yet entered my life so I’ll have to make due with my slow cooker! Sharing this with my GF mom as well 🙂

      Thanks for sharing, Christine! A lot of these recipes have slow cooker instructions, too, so hopefully you can still give some of them a try!
