Best Healthy Instant Pot Cookbooks for 2022

Whether you’re new to your electric pressure cooker or you’re a pro, you’re going to love this round-up of the Best Healthy Instant Pot Cookbooks. There is something for everyone in this book review.

My first cookbook, the Healthy Meal Prep Instant Pot Cookbook, came out in June of 2019. It is an authorized Instant Pot cookbook and it was so much fun to write. It has been the most amazing experience to have people writing to me and letting me know they are making and enjoying my Instant Pot recipe book.

While I was writing the book, I had the experience to review a whole bunch of other Instant Pot cookbooks. There are so many good ones! I love that you can find whatever kinds of recipes you are looking for, from specialty diets to meal prepping to weight loss. I tend to go for simple pressure cooker recipes.

So, without further ado, here is my list of the top 10 best healthy Instant Pot Cookbooks, with a few bonus recommendations at the end. Each of these titles is authorized by the Instant Pot company. I hope you find these reviews helpful and that you find something for your healthy Instant Pot kitchen. Enjoy!

Best Healthy Instant Pot Cookbooks

1. The Healthy Meal Prep Instant Pot Cookbook

If you’re looking for meal prep ideas and how to add more healthy meals into your diet, then this is the book you want to buy! I know, because I wrote it, ha ha. But, seriously, I included all of my favorite recipes that all fit within a clean eating diet plan.

You’ll find recipes for Instant Pot Sweet Potatoes, Teriyaki Chicken, Lemon-Garlic Shrimp Scampi, and so many more. Each recipe is perfect for preparing ahead of time and storing in the fridge for up to several days.

2. The “I Love My Instant Pot” Paleo Recipe Book

It can be overwhelming to follow the guidelines when starting a new diet, and so many lifestyles that include tons of produce and meal prep seem like they’d take up a lot of time.

This book proves that following a paleo diet doesn’t mean being tied to the kitchen (see my article on going paleo for beginners). Quick and healthy meals can be yours from this book. I like that it includes how to make all of your own stocks in the Instant Pot to really add nutrition to your meals.

3. The Ultimate Instant Pot Healthy Cookbook

This one focuses on mostly whole food ingredients, and is rich in information on dairy-free and gluten-free substitutions. This means you can customize the recipes to your taste and allergies if needed.

Beyond just using an Instant Pot, there’s an excellent chapter on how to save time in the kitchen with your ingredient prep and how to stock a healthy pantry. There’s also a focus on using natural sweeteners in these recipes.

4. The Essential Diabetes Instant Pot Cookbook

This book is vetted by an endocrinologist and so it is safe for people who have diabetes. There can be confusing information on both the internet and in cookbooks, so it’s very helpful to have this all in one place.

Whether you have prediabetes, PCOS, or diabetes, these meals fit the bill. Healthy and delicious can go hand-in-hand and you can easily create meals the entire family will enjoy!

5. Williams Sonoma Healthy Instant Pot Cookbook

Vegetarian, gluten-free, paleo, it’s all here! There is also a comprehensive section on nourishing basics that will have you rethinking your everyday menus.

This book teaches you how to adjust flavors so you can take a basic “formula” and adapt it to your tastes and pantry stock. I don’t think it’s possible to get bored if you have these tricks up your sleeve.

6. The “I Love My Instant Pot®” Anti-Inflammatory Diet Recipe Book

I’ve talked a bit about anti-inflammatory topics on the blog here, such as which foods to eat and what to avoid, and this book ties right in.

Introducing these anti-inflammatory recipes to your kitchen means you can eat healthfully and heartily. Processed dairy, fats, and sugars are all to be avoided, but that doesn’t mean these recipes won’t be delicious!

7. The “I Love My Instant Pot” Gluten Free Recipe Book

I know I’m focusing on this series of books, but they really have everything covered. It doesn’t matter if you are gluten intolerant, have celiac disease, or simply avoid wheat. These recipes have ALL the tips and tricks for cooking with other grains you may not be familiar with.

There are lots of beautiful photographs that will spark your interest for healthy cooking and allow you to make recipes the entire family can share.

8. The Fresh & Healthy Instant Pot Cookbook

Every recipe in this book has a photo, which is one of my favorite types of cookbooks to buy. We definitely “eat with our eyes” first and this book is no exception.

Something that can trip up new Instant Pot users is knowing how long it takes your pot to come to pressure. This one helps you out with detailed timing instructions as well as full nutrition facts.

9. The Keto Reset Instant Pot Cookbook

Mark Sisson is well-known in the keto diet and primal diet realm, and I’m thrilled that he’s gotten on board with pressure cooking.

High-fat and low-carb meals don’t have to feel restrictive. This book will take even expert Instant Pot users through the basics of eggs, bone broth, and how to steam any vegetable.

10. The Vegan Instant Pot Cookbook

Vegan doesn’t mean just eating vegetables. From dairy-free yogurt to risotto and dessert, you will find something for everyone here. Entertaining guests with plant-based meals will no longer be a mystery.

This book also goes into the various functions of the Instant Pot (like yogurt!) so you no longer have to wonder what each button does. The pictures are full of fresh colors and you can almost taste the flavors.

Slow cooker “freezer dump meals” have been the rage for some time. But did you know you can take freezer prepped food and put it straight in the Instant Pot? This book will help you save even more time by stocking the freezer with fast meals you don’t even have to remember to thaw.
