Instant Pot Sweet Potato Chili | 21 Day Fix Friendly
If you have been here before you know there are two things I really enjoy…the 21 Day Fix program and the Instant Pot. When I can combine the two for an awesome meal that is also 21 Day Fix friendly I just have to share!
21 Day Fix Sweet Potato Chili | Instant Pot Sweet Potato Chili
One of the reasons I love both the Instant Pot and the 21 Day Fix is because they work fast. They make the whole process of eating better and living a healthy lifestyle so much more simple.
The 21 Day Fix combines portion control and targeted workouts to help me look and feel great from the inside out. I’ve only recently learned that the Instant Pot can make my 21 Day Fix meal prep more streamlined. It is a time saver in the kitchen and it helps me provide healthy, delicious meals for my family that can be ready in less than an hour!
I think I will definitely be including this recipe in my next 21 Day Fix meal plan. With just a few modifications 21 Day Fix sweet potato chili could be included in a 21 Day Fix vegan meal plan as well.

To leave out the turkey for vegetarian children, what could I substitute?
I’m sorry but I don’t really know! Maybe tofu?
This says 4 servings, but how much is a serving? I doubled this and didn’t want to divide into 8 containers…
Hey Kate!
Because of the size of your vegetables, the serving size will be a little different for everyone–I’d definitely recommend dividing it up if you’re using 21DF counts :)
I love instant pot recipes, they make dinner such a breeze. Funny thing is I love sweet potato and my husband loves chili (but not so much sweet potato), let’s see if I can convince him to make this for dinner one night ;)
It’s so delicious! Maybe if he cuts them small he won’t mind them in the chili?
I don’t like sweet potatoes and I LOVE this! Just mush the potatoes after cooked. I also tone down the heat a lot!!!
I am still learning how to use my pressure cooker so your recipe is really helpful. Thank you :-)
This is a great recipe! I’ve had to eliminate the cayenne pepper and take out one chipoltle pepper for my wussy taste buds, but it’s still delicious! I’ve made it countless times and enjoy freezing single-serving portions for later. It makes for an easy lunch when I pop it back in the refrigerator to thaw the day before. Thanks for posting!
Could you upload traditional nutritional values? Sodium, calories, protein, etc
I’m just learning how to cook and I’m still scared of our instapot. Do you have directions for regular stove or crock pot?
How much is1 serving, based on your qty’s? 2/3 cup?
I don’t know off the top of my head–maybe 2/3C-1C?
FYI, the video tells you to remove the chipotle peppers after pressure cooking, but the instructions don’t…and we followed the instructions the first time and needed an oral fire extinguisher.
Really delicious otherwise!
