A Global Table, No Passport Required: 5 Dinners in 5 Days


Welcome to the InstaBomb World Flavor Tour — a delicious way to visit five countries in five nights, no airport security required. With InstaBomb’s Birria InstaBomb, Pot Roast InstaBomb, Barbacoa InstaBomb, Curry InstaBomb, and Lemon Garlic InstaBomb, you’re not just spicing up dinner—you’re experiencing culture through flavor. And since each meal bomb serves up to 9 people (depending on the flavor), it’s perfect for meal prepping, feeding a crowd, or starting your own monthly dinner tradition with friends.


Why Take the InstaBomb World Flavor Tour?

  • It’s efficient. Each InstaBomb is pre-measured and portioned to serve 5–9 people depending on the flavor. That’s a full dinner with no chopping, no measuring, no stress. Just add your favorite protein and liquid and let your Instant Pot, slow cooker, or stovetop do the work.

  • It’s budget-friendly. One InstaBomb costs about the same as a fast-casual lunch, but stretches into a family-style meal. In fact, a meal made with Pot Roast InstaBomb averages about $7.99 per person, compared to $11–$12 for fast food—and tastes so much better.

  • It’s exciting. Every meal bomb is inspired by a different part of the world. Whether it’s Birria InstaBomb for taco night (Mexico), Curry InstaBomb for an aromatic Indian feast, Lemon Garlic InstaBomb for Mediterranean comfort (Greece), Pot Roast InstaBomb for cozy Americana, or Barbacoa InstaBomb for slow-cooked richness (also Mexico), it’s a culinary adventure you can look forward to every night.

  • It’s inclusive. InstaBomb’s meal bombs are made with clean, high-quality ingredients that are naturally vegan and allergen-free—so you can adapt any recipe for vegetarians, vegans, or anyone with dietary needs.

  • It’s flexible. Team Instant Pot? Love your Slow Cooker? Prefer to keep it classic with the stovetop? Each bomb works across cooking methods, so you can cook your way. From quick weeknights to slow Sunday meals, InstaBomb fits your kitchen rhythm.


A Week of Flavor Without the Flight

Your 5 Dinners, 5 Countries Plan—And With 2 Bonus Days of Leftover Magic

With InstaBomb, you’re not just cooking dinner—you’re building a global flavor journey for the entire week. From slow-simmered comfort food to crispy tacos and Mediterranean mezze, our meal bombs make it easy to travel the world without leaving your kitchen.


But here’s the thing: Each bomb makes between 6-9 servings. That means you've got enough food to stretch one night’s dinner into lunch, brunch, or even an entirely new dish. So what do you do with the two remaining days of the week?


Let’s break it down, starting from Sunday.


Sunday: USA — Sunday Supper Pot Roast

Bring on the comfort food. The Pot Roast InstaBomb is an homage to cozy American classics — think slow-simmered chuck roast, tender vegetables, and deep, savory flavor. Toss it in your Instant Pot, slow cooker, or stovetop and let the bomb do the heavy lifting while your house fills with rich, mouth watering aromas.


But don’t stop at one meal. The leftovers are a playground for weekday hacks — from  Pot Roast Sliders to  Pot Roast Quesadillas and even  Pot Roast Pasta, this bomb keeps giving.

Monday: Mexico —  Quesabirria Tacos 

Kick off your week with a culinary cannonball into bold, rich, Mexican flavor . The Birria InstaBomb draws inspiration from the stews of Jalisco , packed with depth from guajillo, ancho, and arbol chiles. Traditionally made with beef, this dish is just as incredible with portobello mushrooms or jackfruit for a delicious vegan option.


What makes  Quesabirria Tacos  a Monday night favorite? They’re crispy, juicy, and dunked into a fragrant, slow-simmered consommé so flavorful, it feels like a warm hug. They also make the perfect launchpad for leftovers all week long — from tacos to burritos to brunchy bennies.


Serve it authentically: Dip tortillas in the consommé before grilling to create that crispy, golden shell that holds shredded birria like a pro.

Tuesday: Greece — Lemon Garlic Chicken + Mediterranean Pasta

By Tuesday, the week is picking up speed—and that’s the perfect time to slow things down with a light, herbaceous, Mediterranean-inspired dinner that feels like a mini vacation. The Lemon Garlic InstaBomb brings bright citrus notes, Greek oregano, garlic, dill, basil, and parsley together in a blend that transforms chicken, tofu, or shrimp into a dish that feels as fresh as it is flavorful.


This flavor bomb is your go-to for simple, stunning weekday meals that taste like you spent hours, even though you didn’t. Whether you’re tossing it with pasta or layering it over greens, this one is a weeknight win.


Make it a full Greek night: Add fresh herbs and lemon zest to your pasta, and don’t forget a quick drizzle of olive oil for extra shine and richness.

Plant-based? Try chickpeas, grilled zucchini, or crispy tofu instead of chicken.


Batch cooking tip: One bomb makes enough for up to 8 servings , so it’s great for meal prep or a family-style dinner night with friends.

Wednesday: Mexico Redux — Barbacoa InstaBomb Burritos, Nachos & Tacos

Midweek calls for something satisfying, low effort, and full of soul-warming, slow-cooked flavor — and that’s exactly what you get with Barbacoa InstaBomb. Inspired by the rich culinary traditions of southern Mexico, this flavor bomb layers together guajillo and chipotle chiles, Mexican oregano, and warming spices that make it taste like it’s been roasting in a backyard pit in Oaxaca all day.


Toss your favorite protein (beef, lamb, jackfruit, or mushrooms all shine here) into the Instant Pot, slow cooker, or stovetop, and let the bomb do its thing while you do yours. By dinnertime, you’ve got ultra-tender, smoky meat perfect for burritos, nachos, tacos—or all three.


Meal prep magic: One Barbacoa InstaBomb yields enough for up to 8 servings, making it ideal for batch cooking, freezer meals, or weeknight leftovers.


Pro tip : Let it go low and slow all day, then set up a DIY taco bar for dinner. Serve with your favorite tortillas, fresh toppings, and a big batch of  Refried Beans .

What to Do With the Additional 3 Days?

Let’s be real: InstaBomb™ meal bombs don’t just feed you once—they keep delivering . Each bomb yields up to 6–9 servings, which means you’re likely to have extras—or you might intentionally make two bombs early in the week (hello, Sunday + Monday!) for easy remix meals the rest of the week.


Whether you're flying solo, feeding a family, or doing meal prep for the week ahead , these next-day dishes are here to keep things fresh, flavorful, and fast.


Thursday: Fusion Remix Day

Leftovers are officially your secret weapon —and InstaBomb makes it ridiculously easy to turn yesterday’s flavor into today’s new favorite.


Use leftover Curry InstaBomb, Birria InstaBomb, or  Pot Roast InstaBomb  to remix like a pro:

  •  Curry Fried Rice  : Toss in tofu or a soft-boiled egg, add frozen veggies, and serve with chili crisp for extra zing.

  •  Birria Grilled Cheese  : Layer shredded birria or barbacoa with melty cheese, dip it in leftover consommé, and go full comfort food mode.

  •  Pot Roast Pasta  : Use your leftover roast in a garlicky, saucy noodle dish that tastes like it came from a bistro.

Time-saving tip : All of these take 15 minutes or less and work great for lunch, dinner, or in-between snacking.


Batching idea : Make both Birria and Curry InstaBombs at the beginning of the week and rotate through tacos, fried rice, grilled cheese, and sliders all week long. Just switch up the base—pasta, rice, or bread—and let the flavor carry you.


Friday: Brunch, Bowls & Burritos

Fridays were made for chill meals—think easy brunch, satisfying bowls, and quick-assemble burritos using whatever’s left in the fridge.


Try these feel-good finishers:

  •  Birria Bennies  : Toasted English muffin, poached egg, shredded birria, and a drizzle of spicy consommé instead of hollandaise = brunch GOAT.

  •  Pot Roast Hash  : Crispy potatoes + pot roast + runny egg. Meal prep friendly and incredibly satisfying.

  •  Barbacoa or Birria Bowls  : Build your bowl with rice, beans, greens, avocado, salsa, and your leftover meat or mushrooms. Great for family dinner or portioning into weekday lunches.

  •  Crispy Potato Birria Tacos  : Got just a little leftover birria? Add it to mashed potatoes, pan-fry in a tortilla, and enjoy a golden, plant-friendly spin on taco night.

Meal-prep MVP: If you prepped on Sunday or Monday with multiple bombs, Friday is your moment to shine. These recipes freeze well and reheat beautifully.


Saturday: Snack, Share, or Freeze

Didn’t get to everything this week? No worries. InstaBomb leftovers are made to be freezer-friendly and remix-ready.


Here’s what you can do:

  • Freeze leftover Birria, Barbacoa, Curry, or Pot Roast in resealable bags for instant meals next week.

  • Turn them into  empanadas , hand pies, or sliders for your next game day or potluck.

  • Host a leftover tapas night : build a little spread of your week’s best bites (think sliders, tacos, mini bowls) and call it a party.

Final Tip: If you want a done-for-you rhythm, try this:

  • Make 2 bombs on Sunday

  • Use Monday–Wednesday for traditional dinners

  • Save Thursday–Saturday for creative remixes and meal prep magic

  • Repeat next week with a new combo

What You Need to Get Started:

Why It Works So Well—Every Week

Meal Bombs do the heavy lifting
No measuring spices, no long grocery lists, no recipe math. Each InstaBomb™ is pre-mixed with chef-crafted blends so you can just drop it in and let the flavors develop.


Perfect for your weekly meal plan

No jet lag, all flavor
You’ll travel to Mexico, India, Greece, and the U.S. through flavor—without checking a bag or Googling a translation.


Budget-smart cooking
Each meal costs around $5 per person—less than takeout, more impressive than leftovers. According to the USDA, eating at home can save up to $5,000 a year, reduce waste, and lead to healthier eating habits.


Mission-driven, woman-owned
When you cook with InstaBomb, you’re supporting a woman-founded, minority-owned, and values-first brand committed to real ingredients, clean cooking, and craveable flavor. We’re here to make everyday meals extraordinary—for everyone.

So Go Ahead—Make It a Ritual

You don’t need a holiday, a reservation, or a complicated recipe to create something special. All it takes is one InstaBomb, a little intention, and your own unique vibe.

  • Put your favorite music on —maybe it’s jazz, reggaeton, Afrobeats, or lo-fi beats in the background.

  • Light a candle or string up some twinkle lights to cozy up the kitchen.

  • Invite someone over—or don’t. Solo nights count as self-care too.


This is your reminder that cooking can be easy, creative, and joy-filled—even in sweatpants, even after a long day, even if you're just winging it with whatever’s left in the fridge.


With InstaBomb, dinner doesn’t have to be a chore. It’s your weekly escape, your moment of calm, your reason to look forward to 6PM. Whether you’re building tacos, sipping wine, or meal-prepping with a glass of sparkling water, it’s flavorful, easy, and yours.
