Yes, I’m starting off with a super simple recipe. It is an adaptation of my 3 Envelope Crockpot Roast, which is a family favorite. Way back on Black Friday I bought myself a Ninja Foodi Pressure Cooker! This is my first pressure cooker. I have borrowed my daughter-in-law’s Instant Pot once but I never owned one. Here it is 6 months later and I am using my Foodi more and more.

A few months ago, when I was planning to make my 3 Envelope Roast in the crockpot as normal I thought, “I should be able to do this in my Foodi in a lot less time.” I was right! It took a little trial and error to get it perfect but I now make this roast in my pressure cooker every time! I will tell you up front, this roast can be a little salty. If you need to watch your sodium I suggest getting the low sodium brown gravy packet, that is what I usually do, but it has been difficult to find in these odd Covid times we are living in.

You may remember, a lot of my “picky eater” issues have more to do with texture than taste. For this reason, I eat very few fruits and veggies. Since receiving these Nutri Ninja blessings I have consumed 2-3 fruit servings a day. I have plans to branch out even more thanks to the Nutri Ninja Elevate Everyday 75 Simple Recipes cookbook that came with the Nutri Ninja Nutri Bowl DUO. So far I have only used the Nutri Bowl Duo, I need to make room on my limited counter space to add the Ninja BlendMAX Duo. In addition to making smoothies, I used the Nutri Bowl to crush candy canes for my holiday baking!

So far I have tried 2 of the smoothie recipes the Citrus Splash and the Strawberry Banana Protein Shake. I like them both but the protein shake is my favorite! It is so packed with protein and nutrients I don’t crave junk or fast food for lunch, I hardly even feel hungry until late afternoon. Either one of these Nutri Ninja products would be a wonderful addition to your kitchen, and they would be a great step forward in having a healthier new year. Don’t forget to ask Santa!
