Notes

  • There are 5 Blue Plan SmartPoints in one serving. 
  •  
  • Do not mix the rice and veggies together before cooking. 
  • Make sure to rinse and dry your rice well before cooking. 
  • Spinach can wilt rather quickly, so keep an eye on it and wait until the end to add it to the pot. 
  • If using frozen vegetables, you may need to add an extra minute or 2, start with less time, and adjust as necessary. 
  • Feel free to trade out veggies for others if you have something you need to use or have a few other favorite vegetables to add to the mix. 
  • Cook time listed does not include the time it takes the Instant Pot to come up to pressure, or for pressure to release.
