15 Instant Pot Recipes That Are on the Pegan Diet

Ready to try a diet that actually seems…doable? Meet the Pegan diet, a modification of the Paleo diet created by Dr. Mark Hyman. It’s similar to the Mediterranean diet—eat lots of plant-based foods and avoid grains—but the occasional meat dish (and alcohol!) is totally cool. And the best news: If you use your instant pot, eating healthy has never been easier.
