Instapot No-Boil Healthy Probiotic Yogurt

So I finally caved and bought an Instapot. Now my hesitation has been the high pressure and high heat we know from food science destroys delicate minerals, enzymes, and vitamins. So I was really hesitant to purchase one since I felt my slow-cooker was able to produce the same convenience but gave me control over the slower temperatures to keep my nutritional value higher. However, more and more nutritional clients kept asking me for Instapot recipes, so I figured I better break down and buy one to meet the needs of my clients and learn more about it.

Grain & Nut-Free Granola (paleo, keto, allergy friendly)

Granola. There is something so satisfying and versatile about a good granola mixture. Granola can be a healthy breakfast option in a bowl with milk and fruit, sprinkled on top of greek yogurt, or even as a baked topping on your breakfast muffins. Granola can also be a high protein, high energy snack that you can take on a hike with you or as a 3 pm snack. Granola can even elevate your dessert by adding a crunchy topping to your roasted stone-fruit and whipped cream. Clearly, I am a fan of yogurt.

Cinnamon-Sugar Baked Apple Chips

These chips are crunchy, sweet, and totally addicting. The cinnamon-sugar topping is optional too, for an everyday snack I will just bake the apples plain or with a little cinnamon, so you can choose to omit the sugar entirely. It is important that you slice them thin, if they are left too thick then they turn mushy and will be in your over for hours and hours. A little trick is once the time is up I actually don’t remove the sheet to cool on the counter but turn the oven off and let them cool down as the oven cools down. This ensures they are nice and crunchy.

This is why I use a quinoa crunch topping. This provides fiber, protein, omega 3, and additional nutrition that creates a delightful crunch to the salad but also helps with blood sugar spikes.

These sweet potato toast appetizers are easy to make, you can top them with anything you like, and they are a great gluten-free alternative. Sweet potatoes are no longer just for dinner.
