Notes
Pressure cooking makes these pureed food recipes so quick and easy! The Instant Pot is a favourite tool in the kitchen of many gastric bypass and bariatric sleeve patients.
Your Instant Pot is the key to making a variety of pureed vegetables in minutes. Seriously, I love my Instant pot, in fact, I own two Instant pots and often use them together so I can cook and meal prep super fast and prepare my meals in advance.
In addition to being packed with nutrients, vegetable purees are also low in calories and gentle on your stomach. This makes them the perfect food for those who are recovering from gastric bypass surgery
