]]> Fresh fruits and veggies are a critical part of a healthy diet. However, stripping produce of its peel can sometimes cause their nutritional value to decrease. Here are some foods you may want to think twice about before tossing out the peel.

Kiwis

Though it may seem strange to take a bite out of a kiwi as you would with an apple, keeping the furry brown peel on your kiwi triples its fiber content.

avocado smoothie bowl 🌴🥑✨ It’s perfect for avocado lovers! Have you ever tried adding avocado to a smoothie? 💭 It creates a creamy consistency while providing healthy fats. Avocados are a great option if you enjoy smoothies but want to limit your sugar intake. However, I do recommend including a sweet fruit (like banana, pineapple, or mango) in the smoothie so it still tastes great! Get the recipe for this bowl below 👇🏼 – Ingredients • 1/2 large avocado • 1 cup frozen pineapple • 1 kiwi fruit, peeled • 1/2 handfuls spinach • 1 tbsp lime juice • 1 tbsp hemp seeds (optional) • 1 cup almond or coconut milk Instructions • Remove pit from avocado. Scoop avocado flesh into the blender. Add all other ingredients. • Blend/pulse until smooth and creamy. Transfer to a bowl and add your favorite toppings. – #avocado #avocados #smoothie #smoothiebowl #greensmoothie #healthyeating #cleaneats #foodstyling #beautifulcuisines #pineapple #spinach #coconut #kiwifruit #whatveganseat #healthychoices #veganfoodie #veganbreakfast #smoothielover

Mangoes

The flesh of a mango is sweet and soft, but its skin can often taste tough and bitter. Nonetheless, you should give it a try because mango skin is full of Vitamin C and other beneficial nutrients.

Cucumbers

The next time you order a Greek salad at a restaurant make sure to let the chef know to leave your cucumber peels on! The dark green skin contains the vast majority of a cucumber’s antioxidants, potassium, and vitamins.

Carrots

No more slaving over your carrots with a peeler just to make one pot of soup: carrot peels are a fantastic source of vitamin A, which is important in immune health and vision.

Say hello to your new BFF: Sheet Pan Pistachio Pesto Salmon 😍 Salmon is actually the EASIEST protein to cook (in my opinion) because you can just pop it in the oven and it comes out perfect every time, plus you don’t have to worry about undercooking it like you do with chicken. I actually prefer my salmon a little raw on the inside! This makes the perfect week night meal that is done in 15 minutes and just one pan to clean up 🙏🏼 If you’ve been following me for a while and haven’t made a recipe yet, this is it! . Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Microwave your baby red potatoes for 5 minutes then add to the sheet pan and coat with @chosenfoods avocado oil, salt and pepper (you could also bake them prior to adding the fish and veggies for about 20 min). Next add your salmon and coat with your Pistachio Pesto! Either blend 2-3 tbsp de-shelled pistachios to 1/2 cup pesto or to make your own blend 1 cup basil, 1/4 cup olive oil, 2-3 tablespoons pistachios, 2 cloves garlic, 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, and 1 tsp black pepper. Add your veggie- I did asparagus coated in @fourthandheart ghee, garlic, salt and pepper. Bake for 13-15 minutes then serve! Lasts for 3 days in the fridge 👌🏼 #broccyourbody #byb #healthyrecipes #sheetpanrecipes #pestosalmon #easyrecipes #glutenfree #mealpreprecipes

]]> Your favorite electric pressure cooker is great for making more than just soups and stews in an incredibly short amount of time. Here are a few fun things you didn’t know could be made in your Instant Pot.

Hard-Boiled Eggs

Although making hard-boiled eggs in your Instant Pot may not necessarily save any cooking time, the eggs come out especially easy to peel.

Cheesecake

Delicious cheesecakes can be made from start to finish in your very own electric pressure cooker. The result is a wonderfully decadent and moist cake.

Popcorn

Prepare for the perfect movie night by making popcorn in the Instant Pot. This is a much cheaper, quicker, and healthier take on the classic microwave popcorn.

A Whole Chicken

Yes, a whole chicken will indeed fit in your average-sized Instant Pot! No more dry, tasteless meals: Instant Pot chicken will totally upgrade your weeknight dinner game.

A meal that cooks protein and vegetables all in one pot that everyone will like? Count me in! I used to be intimidated by cooking a whole chicken. For some reason it sounded difficult- maybe because it looks more impressive than chicken breast or thighs. Last year I quickly learned that one of the best parts about a whole chicken is how easy it is to cook! While I highly recommend delicata squash, you can use whatever heartier vegetables you have on hand- root vegetables, winter squashes or potatoes all work great. If you want more veggies that don’t fit all in one pot, add one sheet pan full of just veggies to cook with the chicken. I’ve made a number of whole roasted chickens before, but this herb butter from @lexiscleankitchen takes the chicken to another level and perfectly showcases fall herbs! #thyme #rosemary #makesmewhole #lexiscleankitchen #autumnvibes🍁 #fallcooking #wholechicken #roastedchicken #roastedveggies #delicatasquash #wintersquash #cleancooking #cleaneating #healthyish #healthydinner #weeknightdinner #easydinner

Cottage Cheese

Homemade cottage cheese is naturally creamy. Also, it’s free of all the nasty additives some packaged cottage cheeses contain. It may seem intimidating to make your own cheese, but the Instant Pot makes it simple.

Wings

Whether you’re going for a smokey barbecue flavor or a spicy-sweet combo, wings are the classic showstopper for Super Bowl food.

French Fries

Crispy french fries can be especially comforting during an intense game. Try some waffle fries or skin-on fries to keep things interesting!

Pizza

Pizza is probably the safest meal option for watching the game–who doesn’t love pizza? Pepperoni is a fan favorite, but you can also go with veggie toppings for your vegetarian guests. 

Veggie Platter

Because not everything can be cheese and carbs. Perhaps the easiest yet most crowd-pleasing appetizer is sliced vegetables served with some ranch dressing.
