How to use these healthy food keywords
- “High protein” and “low calorie” turn a regular recipe into a healthy keyword: add the figure to the pin (“35 g protein”).
- Publish healthy recipes from early December: the January peak starts the first days of the year.
- Meal prep keywords work best with a photo of the boxes, not the plated dish.
- Put the keyword at the start of your pin title and in the first line of the description, the way people type it.

Questions
Where do these healthy food keywords come from?
From Pinterest: we start from the main healthy food searches, add what Pinterest's search bar suggests for each, and keep the ones with a monthly search volume. Near-duplicates (“cookies”, “cookie recipes”) are merged into one line, with the others shown as variants.
Can I use these keywords for a blog, YouTube or Instagram?
Yes. The volumes are Pinterest searches, but they show what people want to cook: the same wording works in blog post titles, video titles and captions. For a food blog, the difficulty column tells you which ones a small site can rank for on Pinterest.
What does keyword difficulty mean?
PinExplore reads the top 20 pins of each search: their saves, the size of the accounts behind them and their age, weighed with the search volume. 0–34 is easy, 35–59 medium, 60+ hard. It is measured for the biggest keywords; the free keyword tool checks any other one.
How often is the list updated?
Once a month, with Pinterest's latest search volumes. The CSV download always holds the current list.
Every keyword, not just these 50
PinExplore gives you the volume and difficulty of any Pinterest keyword, its suggestions, and the winning pins behind it.
