Looking for healthy Instant Pot game day recipes (Super Bowl, too)?
Some of you may need to forgive me…
My favorite childhood memories of the Super Bowl are definitely more about the people than the sport. 😉 And I remember the food.
Game days are times to gather with friends and family and truly enjoy being together. Honestly, I am not a football fan. But I love enough people who are! And the gatherings that football inspires endear it to me. But I also want to keep it simple, which is where the Instant Pot comes into play! (Click here to find out what size instant pot is best for your family.)
Easy & Healthy Instant Pot Game Day Recipes (Super Bowl, Too!)
These Instant Pot game day recipes are all about big gatherings and comfort food without too much fuss. We want meals that everyone will love! We don’t want to spend hours in the kitchen.
In my mind, a big casserole dish or pot full of something homey, full of good nutrition and fat, is ideal. People can serve themselves (while the Instant Pot keeps the dish warm!). Bowls of condiments make the meal extra special, but casual is the order of the day.
The comfort foods I’ve compiled give you a big selection (50+ recipes!) from which to choose. You’ll find Gluten-free, Paleo, Whole30, Primal, GAPS Diet, Keto, Low Carb, Vegetarian and Vegan recipes — all with real food ingredients.
Comment below, and tell me which healthy Instant Pot Super Bowl recipe you decided to make. Enjoy the day, the people, and the food!
