Using these kitchen tools makes the switch to a healthy lifestyle easier than ever!

For Meal Prep:

The CDN Digital Nutrition Scale helps you learn more about the ingredients you’re using while helping portion size correctly. It shows a bunch of different details like calories, sodium, protein and fat for 999 different food items. All information comes from USDA National Nutrient Database.

For Cooking:

Invest in some good knives! A healthy start to the new year requires cooking with fresh ingredients. It’s best to have different knives for your meats, vegetables and fruits, so you don’t cross-contaminate. Ceramic knives are a great option since they don’t leave a metal aftertaste or brown your food.

Quality spices and a corresponding spice rack is a must! Spices bring an excellent flavor to your food without the extra calories or fat some sauces have.

Veggies are a vital part of any healthy diet. Use a spiralizer to ditch calorie-laden pasta and get a serving of greens with yummy zucchini noodles. Short on time? A microwave vegetable steamer helps cut calories and cook time for your favorite veggies!

Buying a smaller, handheld blender is another great investment! First of all, it’s much easier to store than the usual bulky sized blenders. The possibilities are endless when using a blender – fresh fruit smoothies, sauces, pesto, hummus, or soups!

For Daily Use:

Increasing your water intake is also a great way to start the new year fresh! Buy a good water bottle, like the Zoku Stainless Steel Bottle, which can keep cold liquids up to 24 hours and hot ones up to 12 hours!
