6 Healthy Kitchen Tools Everyone Needs

Ah, healthy eating… it’s usually easier said than done, isn’t it?

Be honest, how many times have you made a resolution to cut back on the sugar and consume some leafy greens? It’s okay, you can tell us — we’ve been there and done that time and time again. 

The good news is that there is an easier way to commit to a fit lifestyle, and that’s by investing in healthy kitchen tools. When you have high-quality culinary gadgets that are fun and efficient to use, you’ll be well on your way to eating healthier food in no time. 

Let’s explore the six healthy kitchen tools that your body will thank you for. Come on, let’s eat (nutritiously)! 

1. A Fantastic Food Processor

A food processor opens up a million doors for healthy eating opportunities. When you have the perfect food processor in your kitchen, it’s almost too easy to whip up low-carb and low fat snacks that fit right into your healthy diet. From salad dressings and vegetable dips all the way to almond butter and pizza dough, your handy food processor has got it covered. 

Make sure to get a food processor that can efficiently mince, grind, purée, dice, shred, and chop nearly any type of food that you feel like using as an ingredient in your dish. 

Believe us, a food processor renders the only “processed” type of food that will do you good!

2. A Reliable Chef’s Knife

This is just what the chef ordered! Continue building your arsenal of healthy kitchen tools with the chef’s knife.

When you have a reliable chef’s knife, you’ll be inspired to chop up healthy snacks like apples, mangoes, and bananas that are smoothie-ready. This knife is also ideal for dicing vegetables, chopping nuts, and mincing herbs that you can sprinkle on top of your meals to make them healthier. 

As you can tell, it’s quite the all-around knife. In order to find the perfect one, experts recommend going for high carbon and stainless steel ones that guarantee optimal grip and strength. You want your chef’s knife to be sturdy and ergonomic at the same time.

Other kitchen knives you need in your healthy kitchen tool kit:

• a serrated knife for bread; and
• a paring knife for slicing lemons and deveining seafood.

3. Measuring Spoons that Match your Spice and Herb Jars

Herbs and spices add life, wonder, and nutrition to your delicious cuisines, so don’t forget to buy a set of measuring spoons that fit right into your spice and herb jars.

That means they need to be long, thin, and if you’re feeling playful — colourful too!

Your healthy kitchen tools wouldn’t be complete without spoons that are precise. Instead of adding the usual full teaspoon of sugar to your coffee, just whip out the ¼ measuring spoon to accurately cut down on your sugar intake.

4. Liquid Measuring Cups

A lot of math takes place in the kitchen, and aside from measuring herbs and spices, you will often also need to measure liquid precisely.

Get yourself a set of measuring cups that can handle all types of temperatures and textures, so you can easily pour pancake batter, salad dressings and more. As a quick kitchen hack, you can even use it as a mixing vessel!

5. A Brilliant Blender

We totally understand — giving up pizza and burritos for kale salads and steamed salmon with a drizzle of lemon juice is a challenge. But if you pair it with a flavourful smoothie or juice cleanse that’s packed with zesty energy, healthy eating won’t feel like a chore anymore.

Make your healthy drinks pop with vibrant colours by adding in the rainbow. Think strawberries, blueberries, oranges, apples, bananas, kale, carrots, cauliflower, pumpkin seeds, almonds, sunflower seeds, cashews, pistachios, and more!

When you whip up a healthy ice-cold drink to pair with your nutritious meal, it’ll be summer all-year-round.

6. Sturdy Grill Pan

We all know that grilling meat over high heat releases fat and results in dishes that have less calories compared to their greasy, fried counterparts. This explains why grilled meat is generally the healthier choice. 

But let’s admit it — not everyone has the energy to fire up their grills. That’s where the grill pan comes in. Just put it over your stove and start enjoying healthier meat dishes and some tasty grilled vegetables on the side.
