Nourish & Simplify-My Favorite Kitchen Tools

This is my ride-or-die kitchen tool. This is my go-to blender for creating smooth, nutrient-packed recipes in seconds — from soups and sauces, protein shakes, vegan cheese to plant-based milk that actually keep you full. It’s powerful, durable, and w... 

The ultimate time-saver for meal prep! It makes perfect rice, but it's also wonderful because of its 12 preset cooking functions. (Great for when you want to limit counter space.) You can use it as a slow cooker, you can sauté in it, make soups and c...

A good knife makes you want to cook. I can’t tell you how much easier meal prep feels with a sharp, balanced blade that glides through veggies. It’s one of those investments that pays for itself every single day.

I’m all about keeping things clean and organized when I cook, so I use a few different boards — one for produce, one for proteins, one for cooked foods. I love bamboo because it’s sturdy, eco-friendly, and gentle on my knives.

Fresh, crisp greens make all the difference. I wash and spin my lettuce as soon as I get home from the store so it’s ready to go. It sounds simple, but it’s what keeps me eating more salads during the week.

I use this mainly when I’m developing recipes or when I'm teaching about mindful portions. It’s super helpful for measuring ingredients accurately — especially in baking or when you’re getting to know what “balanced” really looks like on your plate.
