Instant Pot Roast and Carrots
Instant Pot Roast and Carrots
Bariatric friendly Instant Pot® Recipe
Weight loss surgery patients, this recipe is for you!
Don’t be scared of using roast. I know the stringy texture and the solid protein of beef can be intimidating. Yes, the key to this puzzle is to have really moist and tender meat. Something the Instant Pot does very well!
I love roast and carrots any time of the year. I don’t miss the potatoes and find a tender piece of roast with soft cooked carrots always feels like a good idea.
This recipe is simple, using pre-packaged seasoning mixes. To get the carbohydrates down further, go lighter on the seasoning mixes and use beef broth instead of water to replace some flavor. I find if carbohydrates are lower throughout the day, this recipe is fine to keep macros on point.
As a reminder…these are the macro goals I recommend for *most* patients. Always consult your program for personalized recommendations!Â
