Instant Meal Kits & Instant Pot Meal Kits
What are Instant Meal Kits?
Instant Meal Kits by Sage & Sesame are our version of a meal delivery kit, but without the hassle and constraints of traditional meal delivery kits.
Instant Meal Kits are a modern approach to a Meal Delivery Service. Our Instant Meal Kits will help you make quick, easy, healthy, delicious meals for your family with groceries delivered from your local grocery store.
You simply, pick your meal, click on our integrated Instacart lists to order your ingredients, print or pull up the recipe on your iPad or phone or laptop, wait for your ingredients to arrive and then get cooking!
We make it super convenient by using Instacart for delivery so you can order your meal on your lunch break and have the ingredients dropped off by dinner time.
It’s kind of Like Hello Fresh or Blue Apron, but without the drawbacks of those programs:
No long-term commitment, No subscription
We will not ship you ingredients every week that you may or may not use.
When you need a meal to cook, you pick it, order the ingredients and have fresh groceries from your local grocery store delivered to you the same day.
No wilted veggies and questionable meat
No more boxes of food arriving packed in melted ice packs that make you wonder if the meat is even safe to eat.
No more wilted, bruised veggies that must be used immediately before they spoil. No more boxes and ice packs and Styrofoam to recyle.
Lets go into a little more detail on each step!
Step 2: Order your Ingredients
You click on the+ Add symbol above each grocery item needed for the recipe to add it to your cart as shown to the right.
You do not need to add all the ingredients in the list if youalready have some of the ingredients on hand. You can addadditional ingredients that you need for the week as well.
The lists are not limiting in any way. You can just add them to your order if you already have items in your cart.
Once you have everything in your cart that you need, check out and select the time you want your order delivered.
Instacart is very flexible. You can plan for a meal later today, or a meal later in the week and have it delivered in the future.
Step 1: Pick your Meal
Visit our website or our Instant Meal Kits Pinterest Board and pick a meal you would like to cook for a healthy delicious dinner.
It can be for today or for tomorrow or you can pick a few meals for your week.
Our Instant Meal Kits are full balanced meals but you can also use our single recipes with the same system.
When you are looking at your meals recipe you will see a section titled “Aldi Grocery List” ( shown to the right )
We plan our lists for Aldi because they have the best prices and we want this to be an affordable option for you, but if you use a different store, that’s totally fine, once you use the link to take you to Instacart, you can choose any store you’d like
Clicking on the link will take you to a list of groceries we have created in Instacart.

How are Instant Meal Kits different than a Meal Delivery Service?
There are some major differences between Instant Meal Kits and Meal Delivery Services like Hello Fresh:
The biggest difference is that instead of committing to 2 or 3 meals delivered per week, you will only order a meal when you want it.
The second big difference is that your ingredients won't be shipped to you, they will be delivered by Instacart.
The third big difference is that you won't only have 5 - 10 options of meals per week. You can choose from any of our meal kits any day of the week
The forth and most important difference is that you don't need to wait 3-5 days for delivery of your meals. When you think "What can I make for dinner tonight", you can just hop on our site, pick a meal, and have the ingredients delivered by dinner time!
Our selection of Healthy Meal Kits is extensive. Eating healthy is very important to my family so we always look for ways to make traditional recipes healthier without sacrificing taste.
How are Instant Meals similar to a Meal Delivery Service?
The great thing about Meal Delivery Services is that they make dinner time easy. They may even teach you how to make an awesome meal. I found them to great for my kids to learn to cook different dishes. One of the other great things about Meal Delivery Kits is that they may introduce to foods you would never otherwise make. This was always fun for my family. We liked to try new cuisines.
One Pot Instant Pot Kits
Some of our One Pot Instant Pot Kits assume that you have the ability to cook multiple dishes in your instant pot at the same time. I typically do this with a two or three tier stackable steamer basket insert for the instant pot. If you do not have one of these I do recommend getting one. It makes one pot dinners so easy and when I say a one pot dinner I don't in this case only mean stews or soups or meals with all the ingredients mixed together. If you have a stackable steamer set, you can cook multiple dishes in the pot SEPARATED at the same time. Good examples of these meals are chili with corn bread and steamed carrots, or sesame chicken with rice and steamed bok choy. You can make 3 separate dishes with a three tier stackable insert and two dishes with a two tier stackable insert.
This is an example of a 3 Tier Stackable Steamer Set for the Instant Pot This is an example of a 2 Tier Stackable Steamer Set for the Instant Pot
Do you have Indian Food Kits?
Indian foods have so many delicious meal choices with the most flavorful sauces. I love a great Chicken Tikka Masala to dip my naan in. The Instant Pot is wonderful for cooking Indian Foods producing very tender meat and flavorful sauces. Try our Chicken Tikka Masala Instant Pot Meal Kit and let us know what you think.
Can I get an Instant Pot Meal Plan?
Yes, we have two day meal plans on our Meal Planning Pages. We have both pre-populated meal plans with grocery lists, and also blank Meal plans where you can fill in your own meals and grocery list. Visit our Meal Plan Pages for more information on 2 day meal planning. We try to keep our meal plans simple with meals prepared in under 40 minutes.
Step 3: Print your Recipe or pull it up on your device
If you like to work with a printed recipe, then go ahead and print your meal recipe.
If you prefer to use your phone, laptop or ipad or table you can work with our interactive recipes that will allow you to check off ingredients and steps as you go. You can also make the recipe bigger or smaller by adjusting the yield at the top of the recipe.
Step 4: Wait for your ingredients to be delivered
While you wait for your ingredients to be delivered, go on with your to-do list for the day. Remember to pat yourself on the back about how much time you’ve saved by ordering your Instant Meal for dinner.
Step 5: Get Cooking
Once your pressure cooker meal delivery kit has arrived, Get Cooking!
Make sure to leave comments if you have questions or comments on our recipes.
Do you have Instant Pot Kits?
Yes – Many of our Instant Meal Kits are centered around the instant pot.
Although many of our meals are Instant Pot Meal Kits, we also have many meals that can be made without an instant pot on the stove or in the oven.
I am partial to the instant pot. I think it's the greatest kitchen appliance ever. If you don't have one yet or you have one but haven't figured out how to use it yet, give our Instant Meal Kits a try. They come with all the instructions you need to get started with your instant pot.
Are your Kits the Same as Tyson Instant Pot Kits
No, the Tyson Instant Pot Kits can be purchased from your local grocery store. We do not have those available in my area so I have not had a chance to try these kits yet.
I did search these up today (December 2022) and I am not able to find any Tyson Instant Pot Kits on the Tyson website. I wonder if they have discontinued or not released the Tyson Instant Pot Kits yet? I do see Slow Cooker Kits on their website. If anyone knows please let us know so we can update this page with a link on where to buy the Tyson Instant Pot Kits.
Do you have Organic Instant Pot Kits?
Not yet, but since we you requested this we will be adding an organic ingredients link to all of our meals.
This will still take you to an Instacart list but the ingredients will all be organic.
Do you have Gluten Free Meal Kits?
Yes, Many of our recipes are gluten free. All gluten free meals and recipes have a gluten free indicator in the top right of the recipe.
