Instant Pot®
Available in 6 or 8 Litre capacity
Why choose an Instant Pot® multi-cooker when you can buy an electric pressure cooker for under R1000?
“The most important reason that I chose the Instant Pot® Multi-Cooker pressure cooker over other electric pressure cookers is that the pot that you cook in is stainless steel. All other cheaper brands have aluminium pots.
According to Michael Greger’s research into peer-reviewed papers: “What about aluminium cookware? Users had twice the level of aluminium in their blood, and those with the highest levels tended to suffer significantly more damage to their DNA. Occasionally using aluminium pots, utensils, and bottles may not be problematic, but regular, daily use isn’t ideal. And aluminium foil? There is leakage from foil to food, but it’s more of an issue for young children or those suffering from diminished kidney function.”
From my perspective, when something is used frequently and relates to what goes into your body, I would prefer to invest in the more expensive stainless steel option than risk the impact of aluminium. That is the main reason that I chose an Instant Pot®.
In addition, it is a multi-cooker with 7 functions and is totally supported by a smart app, YouTube videos and blogger recipes.” Colleen Thornhill

Almost instant pea soup -Blender
Almost Instant Soup with a Power Blender
Looking for quick gourmet soup? The almost instant frozen green pea soup will fit the bill provided you have a power blender. I am fortunate to have both a Vitamix Explorian E320 and a MiHealthmaker blender in my kitchen and either will make this almost instant hot soup. Why almost instant? Well the nut sprinkles and the nut cream take just a little longer but make all the difference both visually and by taste. It is however a quick and easy green pea soup.
Green peas are actually not a vegetable, being part of the legume family meaning they are the seeds inside pods. Other legumes include beans, lentils and chickpeas. They are very high in nutrients and most people, especially kids love green peas.
This almost instant pea soup turns the peas into a beautiful green cream that makes an excellent first course. The added ingredients turn it into a gourmet starter.
Nutritional Value of almost instant pea soup
Green peas have exceptionally high protein content and are also rich in polyphenol antioxidants. In addition, 170 grams of peas offers an impressive array of nutrients.

Fibre and the Gut
A key factor in creating and maintaining a healthy gut biome is high fibre foods. In fact, the high fibre content in green peas is a key benefit to this enjoyable legume. Protein works together with fibre to slow digestion down which promotes a feeling of fullness which makes them an excellent choice as a weight loss food.
This delicious almost instant pea soup other than a dinner starter can be flasked, hot or cold and taken out as an out of the house meal. A tasty carry-out meal will prevent you from grabbing some unhealthy take away which messes with your gut biome, feeling of satisfaction and weight control.
Almost Instant Frozen Green Pea Soup
This super easy almost instant frozen green pea soup is satisfying, and can be eaten hot or cold. I make this soup in my Vitamix or MiHealthmaker. Both can make hot soup from raw without having to use any other appliances!
Equipment
- Vitamix or MiHealthmaker power blender
- A small flying pan - non stick is good!
Ingredients
Soup
- 900 g of frozen peas
- 500 ml of boiling water
- 20 ml of coconut cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
Spicy Nut sprinkles
- 1 Tbsp paprika
- 1 Tbsp coriander seeds
- 1 Tbsp cumin seeds
- 3 Tbsp sesame seeds
- 30 g almonds
Nut Cream
- 60 g of blanched almonds
- 237 ml of hot water
- 1/2 clove of garlic
Instructions
Spicy Nut sprinkles
- Add the ingredients listed to a small flying pan, heated over a low heat.Turn the heat to medium and roast the spices and nuts until they start to change colour. Shake the pan often and be very careful that the spices and nuts do not burn. as they will spoil your soup. Place this into a coffee grinder or pestle and mortar and create a spicy nutty topping. Set aside.
Nut Cream
- Add all the ingredients into the blender and process until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
The Soup
- Add all the soup ingredients and blend until you have a hot smooth consistency. The Vitamix and the MiHealthmaker will heat up the soup through the power of the friction.
- Plate the soup, place a dollop of nut cream on the soup and sprinkle with the spicy nut sprinkles
Notes
This soup is made hot in the blender so needs to be served immediately. Make sure that the soup plates have been warmed. If you are unable to serve immediately then warm up on gentle heat before plating.

Aquafaba Chocolate Mousse
To make the Aquafaba:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup dried chickpeas – Cooked in an Instant Pot for 15 minutes with 3 Cups of water – no soaking required (drain – the liquid is the Aquafaba – set the chickpeas aside for another use, like hummus)
-
¼ tsp cream of tartar
Instructions:
-
Drain your chickpeas and reserve the liquid – then you have aquafaba!
-
Place the liquid in a large mixing bowl to whip!
-
The trick to whipping aquafaba is using a hand mixer, or stand mixer, or food processor! Whisking it by hand takes quite a long time and does not produce as good of a result. The best trick is to add ¼ tsp cream of tartar, which causes the aquafaba to whip up much easier, faster, and makes the peaks firmer.
Whip your aquafaba to the desired thickness. It generally requires anything between 3-6 minutes to get to semi-firm peaks, depending on your equipment and how thick your aquafaba was to begin with. Do take your time and don’t be discouraged if it takes some time to reach stiff peaks.
