The food processor is by far one of the best appliances you can have in your kitchen, both for meal planning and cooking healthy meals. You can chop, dice, slice, and puree just about anything in your handy little food processor. From making homemade baby food for your baby to chop up vegetables for a salad or casserole, a food processor does everything. When you want to combine a lot of vegetables, such as for homemade salsa, it is straightforward to do with this handy tool.

Blender or Juicer

These appliances come in handy, though you don’t always have to buy both of them at once. If you don’t want to spend the money on a juicer, you can use a blender for the same purpose. These are great for making homemade and all-natural juice and smoothies and milkshakes when you want to offer your family a little treat. The blender can also be used to make banana ice cream healthy and a fun frozen treat for the kids. 

Steamer

A steamer is another excellent tool to have, with many options available. One of the better options is to get a two-tiered microwavable steamer, as this lets you steam all your vegetables in one shot right in the microwave. You don’t have to dirty a pan on the stove that needs to be washed, and you can quickly get your veggies ready for dinner. 

Slow Cooker

Many people swear by slow cookers since it cooks just about everything while you are busy doing other things. Leave it on at night to make a breakfast casserole that is ready when everyone wakes up, or have dinner cooking in the slow cooker while you are taking the kids to school, running errands, or working during the day. By the time everyone gets home, you are ready to finish touches on a healthy and nutritious meal.
