Cooking healthy meals in under 30 minutes, on a budget, AND for weight loss can be challenging, but not today!

This vegan potato stew is low in calories but very nutritious and will fuel your body. I love that you can simply throw all ingredients into your pressure cooker (I use this 6 qt instant pot) or use one large pot. This meal can also be frozen and used for meal prep. For example: You can double up on the recipe and use these freezer friendly containers to store in your freezer for later. This way you always have a lunch or dinner ready.
