Carnitas Bowls are the perfect meal! They’re healthy. They’re filling. And, they’re incredibly easy to make!
While in the Instant Pot, the fat is cooked out of the pork shoulder leaving a tender, lean meat that is loaded with protein and vitamins. In fact, one serving of pork shoulder contains nearly 35% of the recommended daily amount of lean protein that a person needs to eat in order to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
My Meal Prep Carnitas Bowls are made using Instant Pot Recipes. They can be prepped in minutes and that makes them perfect for busy evenings or when you need to plan ahead.
