I save all my veggie scraps in a bag in my freezer. Once a week I make a homemade veggie stock in my instant pot. I add the frozen veggies and any other veggies that need to get used. Then I use that stock in all my recipes for the week. It's free, saved on waste and it's healthier than the store bought stock or bouillon cubes, in my opinion.
Huge! Thanks!
Me: looking at my water bill in Hawaii like water is not free 😂. Love the video !
I moved to california recently and i now know what you mean!
I hate green bell peppers too LOL! But I still want to make that Mexican rice and bean dish. Look so easy and love how you saved money by using bulk items.
Haha glad I’m not the only one! I guess I don’t mind them when they’re totally cooked down with other things, but I would never eat one raw lol
I have a tip about tinned tomatoes. Apparently it is best to buy plum tomatoes and chop them yourself than buy pre chopped as the quality of the tomatoes are better. Makes sense when you think about it that they throw odd bits of chopped tomatoes together x
What can be better??? She likes to save money and she's beautiful... I'll have to check about the cookbook I see people are putting in the comments...thanks for the video...
UPDATE: Ordered the book and bio of author says " graduate of Harvard Law School" WOW!!!
Haha thank you! Yes, I practiced law for four years, was unhappy the whole time, and decided to take the plunge and pursue my dream career in food!
I'm so grateful you're doing budget meals. I'm about to have a baby and since I work in the resturant industry (a vegan restaurant) I don't get paid maternity leave. I got an instant pot at my baby shower and I'm so excited to try these recipes! Cheers to pinching pennies!!!
Hi Kathryn! I'm glad the budget meals are helpful for you! I hope that one day all employers in the US will be required to provide paid parental leave...but until that day, I hope you enjoy getting creative in the kitchen and with the instant pot!
I've just made the lentil and cabbage soup. Oh my days it is stunning and very filling. I can't wait to see the cookbook. You've just made my life a whole lot easier. 😍
Hi Rhian! That makes me so happy to hear! So grateful to be making meal prep and healthy eating easier for you. Thank you for the support on my cookbook too - it means so much to me!
Oh she has a cook book. So making the cabbage.
I can't believe how easy it is to make oatmeal in the Instapot! Going to try that tomorrow. Just need to grab some bananas from the store. It will make morning breakfast time with the family so much easier.
Exactly, it really couldn’t be any simpler! You can do other things in the meantime like work out, get ready for the day, spend time with your family etc. It’s great!

Hello! So happy to have you here :) Thank you so much!
me too haha :)
Amazing! The market so needs more Vegan Instant Pot Books! Congrats!!!
Hi Danielle! Thank you so much - That makes me so happy to hear :) If you’re interested in pre-ordering it, you’ll get some bonus content too :) The instructions are in the description box!
I just bought your book after watching sweet simple vegan. Look forward to it!
Yay :) That makes me so happy to hear. Thank you Nealie!
Can you do more budget friendly videos like this? I loved this idea! It’s so helpful!
Yum can't wait to try the lentil cabbage soup!
Thanks :) It's so easy and simple to make!
I've never met anybody else who hates green bell peppers. I detest them 😅
Haha really? I feel like its fairly uncommon...because they're not tasty 😅
Idk why but I don't like them either. They're not very aesthetically pleasing to me, I just feel like red or other colors have more flavor, and in my mind I'm like "they must be trash if they're 72 cents and the others are over a dollar 🙄"
Wynona 7 Yes, they are terrible. Bitter. You know that green peppers are just regular peppers, just picked earlier? I mean, why bother?
Great tips and ideas, Nisha! I am always looking to save a few dollars at the grocery store, so this was much appreciated. Also I cannot wait for your book, I pre-ordered it last month!
Hi Sarah! Thank you so much for your support and for ordering my book! If you haven’t already seen it, there’s a bonus for anyone who pre-ordered :) And so happy you like this budget friendly video!
When you said Bougie I instantly subscribed lol so cute
Just got your Vegan Instant pot cook book and I am in love with it! Also glad you are making these videos as some of the recipes are not in your book :) Much appreciation and keep it up!! 👍💕
Thank you for the support, Ophelie! So happy you have my book now :) Yes, all the recipes in the book are brand new, with the exception of 2 or 3 that have been inspired by recipes here or on my blog :) And will continue to post more new recipes here in the future!
These recipes look so easy and delicious! I need to try the third one, looked amazing :)
Thank you :) I hope you enjoy them! They’re so easy to make!
I got your cook book and an Instant Pot for Christmas this year. Cant wait to try out the recipes! You did a great job its such a beautiful book! :)
I was waiting for a new video and wondering when you'd post next ;) Thank you for sharing another beautiful video. And super useful with the budget friendly angle.
Hi Nedina! Thank you as always for your support and so happy you enjoyed the budget friendly angle!
Thank you for making affordable delicious recipes!!!
Found your channel after watching your collaboration with Caitlin and I LOVE your content! So many delicious recipes, vibrant colors and yummy flavors. I'm so excited to try out your recipes!! 😋
Hey Cristina! So happy you found my channel from Caitlin. She is wonderful and I loved collaborating with her. I hope you'll enjoy my recipes and thank you again for your sweet comment!
Your tips are so helpful and I always look forward to your videos!
Thank you so much! Go glad they’re helpful!
Wow--easy, cheap, flavorful, AND basically whole-food plantbased. Amazing! Great upload 🙏
I'm so glad you enjoyed the recipes and the video. Thank you!
Wow I feel so boujee now cuz I use almond milk lol
Missed this: what are the liquid measurements for the rice and beans and the cabbage and lentil soup?
Look in the description
You’re amazing! And so lovely. Thank you 😊
I love this soup! It’s so easy and is surprisingly savory given how few seasonings are added. I’ve made it with regular brown/green lentils and with du Puy lentils, it’s great either way.
I didn't realize the difference in the quantity of canned and dried beans. I will be switching since with the Instant Pot they don't take long to cook anyway. Thank you for that tip! Love your recipes!
You can cook them and freeze them for use later.
3 great meals. Thank you
Thank you for all the great info! Love the channel
What a delightful human being. Thanks so much!
I bought your book and it is wonderful.
Best of luck!
Omg Nisha! I'm so excited!! Maybe at one point, could you share some of your tips for living in a big expensive city? I spend too much on food as well😅. 🧡🧡
Aww thank you! You’re so sweet! Where do you live? That’s a great idea for a video :)
I love this video, was waiting for a new one! The recipes look delicious but also doable for someone like me. I love all the colors and textures and can’t wait to see them in your book!
Hehe you’re so cute! They’re definitely easy and doable even for novice cooks :) thank you!
I just received your cookbook and will be making my first recipe out of it tonight!! Beautiful photography by the way.
I finally figured out why I love your recipes so much. Of course they are delicious, but I too hate bell peppers and I now realise you don't use them as much as other chefs!! Love your tips here too Nisha! Your videos are always a pleasure to watch and I almost always learn something new! :)
Look delish, glad I found this channel! Family of 5 great tips for healthy meals with a few affordable swaps 💛
All these recipes look so YUM!! Must try the lentil/cabbage stew this week!
Yay! So glad you thank so :) hope you’ll enjoy the soup!
Thank you, this came out pretty good.
I love the budget friendly cooking shows due to the fact that the cost of living has secretly skyrocketed and salaries for most have plummeted. Eating healthy for a reasonable price is a must. It is amazing what an instant pot can do in the right hands 😀🙏
I have book on my Amazon Wish List except that I still need an instant pot. I have a multi cooker but it doesn’t have the pressure cooker feature. I’m assuming the recipes will still work, but just take longer?
Hi Patty! That makes me so happy to hear :) I haven't tried using a multi-cooker so I can't say for sure, but based on my research, there are a good number of recipes in my book that can likely be converted. Hope that helps and thank you for the support!
Thanks for another useful video, Nisha! I love your sense of humor too. So refreshing.
aww hehe thanks Liz! So happy you enjoyed the video and my humor 😉
I came here from Caitlin and i really like you channel! :)
What kind of oatmeal did you use?
Aww hello! Welcome, Avital. Thank you so much. I used steel-cut oats for this recipe. The full recipe is here: www.rainbowplantlife.com/blog/vegan-instant-pot-peanut-butter-banana-oatmeal
I love your voice!
Thank you for sharing this budget friendly recipe. Budgeting better with my groceries has been heavy on my mind with all the rising prices. This kind of video is so helpful for me and I am sure many others right now. I try to budget best I can but I know I can always learn more. I make cooking videos too so you know I’m making lots of food so every penny I can save on groceries counts. I hope that we can continue to learn from each other. Never stop learning and growing!
Hi love ur recipes!!
For the oatmeal, Ur video says to stir everything before starting IP but ur written instructions says to stir everything except the mashed bananas, that was last added. Which is best and why? :)
For the lentil cabbage recipe, How much vegetable broth to use instead of the bouillon cube?
Where can you shop from dispensaries here in New York?
You ruined my life by having such good quality videos I watched on my lunch break and making me eat more plant based tsk tsk tsk lol 😂😆😂
I wonder if subbing garbanzo beans for the lentils may make it taste more like a minestrone. 😋 🥣
Thank you for teaching me this method for cutting up onions!
You're very welcome :) Thanks for stopping by!
I'm watching this just now and, your videos are so much better these days! Either way, the recipe is amazing.
Love your channel, shame you don't enjoy green bell peppers, they're my favorite! I never liked red bell peppers
Wow, i like the way you cut the veggies. Please can you let me know the brand of the knife that you are using. I am looking for a good knife to cut vegetables without making much of a scratch on the cutting tray.
Amazing. Thank you very much for posting this video and for including the recipes on your website. I have shared this to Facebook
I'm glad you enjoyed the video and thank you very much for sharing it!
I switched over to using Pasilla peppers in place of green bell peppers. Way better flavor
@RainbowPlantLife I am so happy when you post a new video! :) And I can't wait until your cookbook arrives at my door! :) Can't wait to try your Lentil and Cabbage Soup recipe, it looks amazing!
Hi Jason! You’re so sweet! Thank you so much for your support, really means a lot to me. And yay! I’m also excited for my cookbook 😉
@@RainbowPlantLife Nisha, What do you think about using purple cabbage in place of the green for the Lentil & Cabbage soup? Would that work also? I always have purple cabbage in the fridge :)
I think that’s a fantastic idea :) it has more antioxidants than the green variety! It just might make the soup a very purplish color haha.
10 minutes to do the prep. for three recipes. Instant pot did all the cooking work. Both easy on the wallet and on time.👍 All three very healthy also. Instant pot is the way to go. Great video. Do one with nutritional yeast for b12 vitamins.
Glad to hear it was easy and budget-friendly :) I love my instant pot too! And nutritional yeast is always in my kitchen!
Oops just saw this now Yum looks delicious dont have instant pot at home subscibed to your cooking channel few months ago drooling over my samsung galaxy j4 love your recipes making me hungry Thanks Ramya
I just published it so you saw it right on time :) thanks for your support, Ramya!
lol I hate bell peppers! And they are always in vegetarian and vegan cooking!
I made the Mexican Rice and Beans for a Super Bowl party and it was a hit! Thank you!
That's lovely to hear :) Thank you for sharing!
All of these recipes are right up my tummy’s alley. I’ve decided to go back to eating healthier more consistently and making a big batch of a recipe that can provide many meals would work to keep me on track. The husband would hate every one, but he can make his Kraft dinner and burgers. He’s a big boy.
A whole can of coconut milk might not be the healthiest route to go for morning oats lol. Good recipes nonetheless.
The subtitles are not in sync.... great recipes :D
I like that you don’t like peppers as much as me and still use them.
I’m not a lover of green peppers.I am glad it is not just me!
Her voice is so calming
Thank you :)
I had chronic fatigue and excessive hair loss :( . I went vegan and all my problems were gone! Now I feel extremely happy and energized! Also, my hair is knee length!❤️ I feel like I'm thriving!😌 I believe it's bc of all the rich vitamins in every food!!🥝🍐🥰 new follower here!!!!!
Try poblanos. Mild and delicious
Thanks so much Nisha. A vegan here for 10 years and I bought a Instant Pot Duo Evo Plus Pressure Cooker 10 in 1, 8 Qt
So refreshing to see the alternatives and time saved. I'll be ordering your book as well. A new subscriber as well. Thanks so much!
I LOVEEEEE budget videos! So grateful to have found your channel. I just got an instant pot and am cONFuseeedddd AF.
They all look delicious and healthy.👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽. Yummy 😋😋😋😋😋😋😋
organic ingredients are so cheap over there compared to anywhere i've lived (Aus, NZ and UK) I need to move to US, that whole foods seems legit!
Interesting! But food grown in Europe (and I assume australia and NZ) is subject to more stringent regulations so you probably don't have as many problems from big factory farming and agribusiness as we do here. But yes, the whole foods in-house brand is quite affordable for organic products!
I slow cook oats in my instant pot over night. Sultanas (lots) for sweetness, large chunks of apple (again, lots), cinnamon, sunflower seeds (for crunch) and a combination of buckwheat and oats.
Thanks for this!
You’re very welcome Susan! Thank you for stopping by :)
I ordered a Instant Pot yesterday and then went searching for how to use the thing. Your videos have added to my excitement to try these recipes in my new cooker when it arrives. Your videos are very informative and I've subscribed. ( Also I'm not a vegan but open to new things and I will absolutely be substituting out a lot of my meals with these recipes. Good Job!!! )
Thank you so much for your kind comment, Richie! I hope that you are enjoying your Instant Pot so far :) Yay for trying new things and new recipes!
@@RainbowPlantLife I love it !!! Definitely a game changer :) Hope you're having a good one! And good luck with the book !!!
@@BadBeardDude Thank you for the warm wishes and so happy you're loving it :)
a mini rant against green bell peppers. love it.
Love your videos!!! I made the garbanzo beans and for leftovers, i put them into a sweet potato this weekend. :) i still had an abundance of leftovers since i made it twice, so i took some to a potluck. :) i dont think it tasted as good as yours, as i also didnt' have all the ingredients. :) I will now try the lentils with cabbage.
I have just purchased your cookbook it arrived yesterday I plan to look at over tonight I’m very excited and can’t wait for your next book to come out everything looks so delicious thank you for all the TH-cam recipes and demonstrating how to do it
I'm definitely going to try the cabbage recipe, thanks for sharing
You're very welcome! Hope you enjoy it :)
thirty six five? three sixty five! haha
Something I just learned is most stores if you ask will half or quarter things like cabbage/melons then they wrap up the rest to sell it to some els. ;)
Thank you, I will have to ask next time!
I like your videos, thanks for sharing great recipes. I have one constructive feedback though, you talk so soft and there is a music on the background too, which is hard to hear you unless I increase the volume from normal level for other channels.
Looks amazing! Just ordered your book and the Instant Pot! For the lentil stew, could you substitute the cabbage with cauliflower?
This was serendipitous! I was in need of a quick, budget-friendly recipe to share at a whole food plant-based potluck this weekend. Since I have all the ingredients for recipe #1, I'll likely be making/taking that one. Thanks for the inspiration!
That’s so great to hear! What great timing :) I hope you and your friends will enjoy it! If you can get tortilla chips, it makes a great pairing 😉
@@RainbowPlantLife I have chips here that need to be used up! Thanks so much for that suggestion!
alwaysneed2learn yay!!
You're so amazing, thank you!
Aww that's very sweet of you to say!
Haha, I dislike green bell peppers too. My favorites are the yellow and orange bell peppers!
Wow, they are the same color.
Will those who preorder the digital version have the same access to the promotional offers?
Yes! Just go ahead and send a screenshot of your receipt to vegan.preorder@gmail.com. I haven't seen the digital version yet but it won't have the pretty colorful pictures!
I love cooked water ..
someone try the red cabbage instead the green? I really like the recipe but I would like to try with red. Better for health the red one. Thank
I know this is an old video but I think a great alternative to water for the oatmeal is to make your own oat milk! its super easy to make by using a cup or two of oats and water blended and strained.
What size pot Is that
Where do you shop for bulk things in NY, Whole Foods?
Yes, a lot comes from my local whole foods in Brooklyn. Also Sahadi's (also in Brooklyn) is great for certain tings. This post might be helpful: www.litterless.com/bulk-food-guide/new-york
could you add the ratios in the narrative for each recipe? thanks!!
Just a tip. I find it is cheaper to buy nuts or oats in bulk and make my own nut milk or make my own oat milk, instead of store bought plant based milk.
You’re so right about that, especially oats which are really cheap. Almonds are pretty expensive here so I don’t know how much money I would actually save lol.
RainbowPlantLife I don’t even use almonds. Too expensive. I usually use cashews or pecans. Sometimes walnuts.
Ahh good to know :) thank you!
I pay money for water so not free for me 😂😂😂
Quick question! Can I use regular coconut milk instead of "lite" coconut milk for the vegan queso? Thanks so much Nisha!!
Hi dear, yes you can! It might be a bit thicker than expected, so just add some water as needed to thin it out! And feel free to email me or DM me on instagram if you have future questions - I tend to see those more easily than comments here (which get lost sometimes). Happy cooking!
This is amazing!! Thank you so much!!
does it matter which order the food goes into the pot
Hi Sandy, you can find the full recipes linked in the description box of the video - the directions will instruct the order I think is best for these recipes. Hope that helps!
Thanks for the great recipes but around these parts Whole Foods is one of the most expensive places to buy food. You can just about double the prices for all the examples you show. The good news is that I can buy all the ingredients at the prices shown from other stores. I really want to try that Mexican rice and beans and the lentil soup. Love all veggies including green peppers.
Hi there! Yes, the price of groceries at various stores will certainly depend on where you live. Here, in NYC, whole foods is one of the more affordable stores, at least their 365 line is. I'm glad you find these ingredients at an affordable price at other stores in your area, and hope you'll enjoy the recipes!
