Having the right tools in your kitchen can make preparing meals MUCH easier.

Here is a list of our favorite tools for a plant-based kitchen.

  1. Mandolin & Spiralizer – Let’s be honest, you’re going to be eating A LOT of veggies so that means there will be A LOT of chopping/slicing/dicing in your future. Perhaps even as much as 3x a day, 5 if you count snacks! With a mandolin you get a veggie slicer, cutter and julienner all in one – and our favorite comes with it’s own spiralizer. Check out our favorite Mandoline & Spiralizer.
  2. High-Speed Blender – If you’re starting your day with a smoothie, having a high-speed blender is going to help you get the job done much faster. If you find yourself making soups or sauces you’ll be using it more than once a day. Check out our favorite High-Speed Blender . We also highly recommend a Vitamix if your budget allows.
  3. Food Processor – Wait! We just told you to get a high-speed blender why would you need a food processor too? Blenders usually blend things into a liquid but a food processor breaks things down and combines them without liquidizing them. We use it when making pesto or protein balls or veggie burgers. Here’s the food processor we recommend.
  4. Instant Pot – It’s a pressure cooker, rice cooker, slow cooker, etc all in one! You can use it for making soups, rice, beans – just set it and forget it until the timer goes off. Here’s our favorite Instant Pot.
  5. Air Fryer – Have you ever thought that ANYTHING tastes better when fried? With an air fryer you can use 75% less oil and still get that crisp taste you’re looking for. We use it daily for brussel sprouts & potatoes. This is our favorite air fryer because it also serves as a dehydrator and indoor electric grill.
