When it comes to eating healthy, having the right kitchen appliances for healthy cooking can make a HUGE difference. I feel like there are little shortcuts that can be made with the right kitchen appliances for healthy cooking, that make things just a little bit easier, and makes prepping healthy food a little bit more doable. I’ve asked around to my favorite cooks, and I’ve come up with a list of my favorite items for the kitchen that can help you to make your healthy meals happen.
Must Have Kitchen Appliances for Healthy Cooking
I own a lot of these appliances, & some I will be getting here shortly after hearing the cooks that I trust most sell me on them.
- This Mini Cuisinart is one of the handiest little kitchen tools I have.
It’s super easy to use, easy to clean, & doesn’t feel like a huge effort every time I need it. It’s awesome for mincing garlic, dicing up onions, shredding zucchini (This is what I use when I make my healthy zucchini cookies) and pureeing anything.

I love my protein shakes, but I sometimes hate the thought of the cleaning process that comes with it. With this super easy to use, single serving blender, you can make your smoothie, drink right out of the mixing container, wash, & go. It’s powerful, it saves dishes, & it saves time. Click HERE to shop. - I have talked a lot about the Instant Pot.
I had mine for about a year and a half before I actually cracked open the box, mostly because I think I was afraid of it. But, when I opened it…I was floored that I waited so long. It’s the BEST. It is a serious time saver. It makes quick cooking so much easier. It’s a time saver’s dream. No question this is a key must have when you’re looking for kitchen appliances for healthy cooking. Click HERE to shop. - I am obsessed with the spiralizer.
When you are trying to include more vegetables into your diet, or if you are needing to cut down on your carbohydrate or starch intake, this kitchen tool is so legit. I use it for zoodles to replace noodles, or for sweet potatoes to sauté…there is so much you can do with it. Click HERE to shop. - If you aren’t wanting to commit to the regular spiralizer, the hand spiralizer is an awesome option.
You can do smaller batches with this hand spiralizer. It’s super easy to clean, & is awesome to see if you like spiralized veggies. Click HERE to shop. - I actually don’t own one of these air fryers, but I WANT ONE!
These are amazing for making your own fries, sweet potato fries, chicken, etc. They are an inexpensive way to make quick, healthier, grabable foods that are awesome for kids, and can make your life so much easier! Click HERE to shop. - I am obsessed with the Whirley Pop.
If you haven’t heard me talk about it yet, you must be new. I love popcorn so much in all forms…But, making fresh popcorn, or kettle corn out of the Whirley Pop tops all things. Click HERE for my favorite recipes. It’s SO tasty. If you don’t have one of these, you need one. Click HERE to shop. - If you do any baking at all, you need these silicone muffin tins.
They are amazing for muffins, cupcakes, egg cups, or anything else you want to portion out. The best part about them is they are nonstick, and a DREAM to clean. They will make your life so much easier. Click HERE to shop. Oh…and my favorite healthy muffin recipes?
- Ohhhh the salad spinner.
If you ever use lettuce or leafy greens for any reason…and you don’t have one of these yet, you need to invest in one. They make washing and drying lettuce SO MUCH EASIER. Is there anything worse than soggy lettuce in a salad? Click HERE to shop. - This isn’t really a kitchen appliance for healthy cooking, but these reusable meal prep containers are the best item to use AFTER that healthy cooking is done.
Being able to prep food ahead of time, and have an organized way of storing them. These reusable containers make life so simple. They are stackable, dishwasher safe, and perfect for a healthy lifestyle. Click HERE to shop.
