Get ready to make this lifestyle fuss-free. Here are a handful of kitchen essentials to set you up for success:
1. BLENDERS AND MIXERS
The one gadget I can’t live without is my VITAMIX! I use it at least five times per day for the whole family. I’ve had mine for 10 years and it’s still going strong (so a worthy investment!). Daily personal favourites include making the Lymphbuster juice, banana ice-cream and salad dressings.
- Buy it Refurbished or New
- For one serving only the NUTRIBULLET is perfect
- For making nice-creams and fruit bowls, the “Dessert Bullet Blender” is fab!
2. JUICERS
Masticating juicers are better than centrifugal juicers, as they squeeze more juice out and don’t oxidize the juice as quickly.
- Medium Range: The Omega Juicer
- Luxury Range: Greenstar
- Top Range: Angel Juicer (for maximum juice extraction)
3. SPIRALIZERS
This is the only product I recommend. I’ve tried electrical versions and they are useless. This product is sturdy and works well for spiralizing zucchini, cucumbers, celeriac, beetroot and any other veg you want to ‘noodalise’.
4. DEHYDRATORS
A must-have for making raw bread, pizza, kale chips, zucchini, raw desserts and dehydrated fruit. The list is endless!
- Best Price: NESCO
- Mid Range: NESCO Snackmaster (with the NESCO products, you are limited in height)
- Top of the Range: EXCALIBUR (my top choice and family staple)
5. CUTLERY AND PLATES
Natural is best and I love eating with these wooden cutlery and plate items:
Cutlery Recommendations:
- Wooden cutlery and chopsticks (to help slow you down)
- Bamboo three piece fork, spoon and knife (dishwasher safe)
- Bali handmade rosewood spoons (set of five)
Plate Recommendations:
- Round wooden serving plates (set of four)
- Round acacia calabash serving bowls (set of four)
- Wooden teacups (set of four, 250ml each)
- Large salad bowl
- Kiddie plate (super cute!)
