Notes
- There are 3 Blue Plan SmartPoints in a serving of this.
- Cook time does not include the time it takes to come up to pressure or for pressure to release.
- Make sure to press or squeeze down your Collard Greens with the end of your spatula so they can wilt down as they cook.
- If you don’t have smoked meat, but still want that smoked meat flavor, try adding in some Smoked Paprika instead.
- Don’t overfill your Instant Pot with the Greens as they won’t have enough room to cook correctly.
