This is the funnest kitchen gadget to eat healthy. My family loves everything it has made. #BestChoiceEver

This above one I started with, but I ended up upgrading to this one because I wanted to add spiralized potatoes and sweet potatoes to the mix.

While there is minimal difference between scissors and shears, a solid pair is necessary. Don't waste time dicing up herbs - use the kitchen shears. Yes, this is something I am still training myself to do.

I'll be the first to admit I never understood the purpose of mason jars beyond just canning. Then, I ran out of containers and kept hearing about how great it was to use mason jars. My eyes were opened by how much longer they keep foods from spoiling.They can be used from green smoothies, salads, drink mixes, or even storing nuts. There are so many options! Plus no worries about using plastics. They come in so many shapes and sizes to fit exactly what you need.

If you don't want to use glass for smoothies and looking for a plastic (not-breakable) option, these are our family favorites.

Save time by using an electric chopper. Plus if you have kids, it is harder to notice the onions, mushrooms, and other vegetables thrown in. For my family, I prefer a slightly larger chopper - one that is greater than 4 cups.

First of all, there is a huge difference when cooking with fresh and dry herbs. However, if you use fresh herbs you know that herbs don't stay fresh long. These help keep herbs fresh for over week. A must have for healthy cooking.

Seriously, I had no idea what to call this cool kitchen gadget. It is great to chop up ground beef or sausage. It shaves up minutes of cooking time. Make sure to pick yours up before you can't remember what it is called.

Save tons of money on taking a brown bag for lunch! This can help pay off debt faster. Also, no need to rush through the drive through line. When making the change to eating healthy, the first thing you will notice is the need for reusable containers to take meals in. Plus, the price has gone down a lot! Less than one or two lunches out will pay for a whole set of reusable meal containers.

Have you found yourself DIY solutions to make your produce last longer? I know I have. Until I came across this cool product called BluApple! It helps absorb ethylene gas that would make the fruits and vegetables go bad. Seriously, this is the must have item for every kitchen.

Another item to check out is the Veggie Life Extender Liners to extend produce shelf life

This is my #1 Mom way to make eating fruits and veggies more fun! My kids love green smoothies now! This is a fantastic way to get fruits and vegetables into a school lunch. No more brown apples or squished fruit. They are easy to refill using a Baggy Rack. #MomWin

These are amazing! They make it so easy to fill up ziploc bags. Personally, I mainly use mine to help freeze meals or for Popsicle molds. They are sturdy and I have held 2-3 pounds of filling with no tipping over. Pick one up for yourself and give the other one away.

At the beginning of the school year, I went on a mini muffin craze! I put everything and anything into the mini muffin pans - eggs, pancakes, carrot cake. These are very versatile. Plus with the bite size, they help to stay within appropriate portion sizes, which helps with healthy eating. Make sure to buy 2 pans! Then, you can freeze a batch for later.

Every kitchen must have a set of cutting boards. This is probably the #1 item used in my kitchen. I prefer bamboo over wood because they don't dull a quality set of knives. Picking up a variety of sizes helps with meal prep.

So, many options under $20 dollars. Strainers come in every size, shape and form. For me personally, I like to have two types of stainers on hand. One that has a sturdy base and another that takes minimal space in the dishwasher.Kitchen Labels

Oh my! Labeling is so important in the kitchen. Once I transition to making plant-based foods, I need to label more and more jars. Labels are key to healthy cooking. There are so many options to choose from. Finding what works best for you is key.

Key item to help with healthy cooking. Once again, this can be an underutilized kitchen tool. However, it makes veggies taste so good. Think restaurant good. Plus they are simple to use.

Love these! Love these! I hate pans and lids overflowing on top of each other. These organizer rack holders actually work.

Food scales are helpful in the kitchen when freezing meals. For our household, I know how much our family will eat. So, this along with the baggy racks make freezing meals quick and easy.

The worst thing is pulling out fresh berries only to find that they have gone moldy. Money wasted each and every time. Instead, pick up a berry storage container. No more moldy berries!

Seriously, who wants to turn on the oven when it is 90+ degrees outside. Personally, I don't. So, outside to the grill we go to make a healthy meal. This grilling basket keeps all the veggies from falling through the grates.

You never know how much you rely on a meat thermometer until yours stop working. Lesson learned. This is the primary meat thermometer we use, but I always keep a backup. Just in case.

Make clean up a breeze with these silicone baking mats. NO need for oils., cooking spray, or parchment paper. Highly rated!

Primary kitchen tool needed to bake fruits, vegetables, and even nuts! There are many to choose from, but I always go from two pans. Then, I'm not waiting for one to finish cooking for the next batch. This simple thing saves me time. This is my favorite brand.

Must have for any kitchen. Honestly, I have two sets of each. When making healthy meals, I tend to use more than one set of measuring cups and spoons. Preferably I like the metal version best.

Probably one of the most underutilized kitchen utensils in any kitchen drawer. A julienne peeler creates uniform slivers of short thin strips of food. Many people use them for carrots. But, they can be used with beets, squash, or zucchini.

Yep, this one is not a kitchen tool or gadget. This is an AWESOME book to kickstart your journey to healthy eating. Every single recipe I have tried is mouthwatering and delicious. Plus Jen goes into detail on why plant based eating is good for you, how to make it work, plus many more helpful resources. Also, a 4 week meal plan is included plus a shopping list.
