My name is Kevin. My life changed when I realized that healthy living is truly a lifelong journey, mainly won by having a well-balanced diet and enjoying adequate exercise. By experimenting in the kitchen and openly sharing my meals, I learned that healthy eating is hardly boring and that by making a few adjustments, I could design a diet that could help me achieve my personal fitness goals. Our bodies are built in the kitchen and sculpted in the gym.

Ingredients
Ingredients for 14 servings
1 serving – 1 tablespoon
- 1 quart fresh strawberries, halved
- 1/3 cup coconut sugar (or brown sugar or cane sugar)
- juice from 1 lemon
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
Essential Tool
Steps
- Place all ingredients (except arrowroot) in the Instant Pot Duo Crisp + Air Fryer. Allow the berries to “sweat” with the sugar for about 10 minutes in the pot before cooking.
- Set the Instant Pot to Pressure Cook on HIGH temp with a cooking time of 1 minute. Cook.
- Once the cooking cycle has completed, release the pressure then stir up the strawberries. Add the arrowroot & water and stir quickly to avoid clumping.

Ginger Strawberry Pop Tart
Prep Time 0 minutes
Cook Time 7 minutes
Total Time 7 minutes
Ingredients
Ingredients for 4 pop tarts
- 8oz (227g) organic pie dough
- 4 tablespoons Ginger Strawberry Compote (recipe above)
Essential Tool
Steps
- Roll out the pie dough until thin.
- Cut identical 3-inch rectangles out of the dough. You may have to do this in batches – roll out, cut out rectangles, ball up the dough, then roll it out again.
- In the middle of a rectangle add 1 tablespoon of the strawberry compote. Place a rectangle on top of it and press along the sides to seal it closed.
- Use a fork tongs to press along the edges to secure it even more and to create a pattern.
- Place the completed pop tart in the basket inside the Instant Pot Duo Crisp + Air Fryer. Change the setting to Air Fry, the temperature to 400F and time to 7 minutes. Then, add the air-fry lid and air-fry! Repeat for remaining pop-tarts.
- Enjoy! I enjoyed mine as a sweet treat with a scoop of low-calorie plant-based cream!
