Vegetable Slicer

The first recommendation is for a good Vegetable slicer.  Encourages you and your family to eat more fruits and vegetables.  The Presto vegetable slicer is easy to clean so you won't have to waste time with messy items.  This gadget makes it easy for you to enjoy fresh produce with your salads and is great with many different recipes.  This cool gadget allows you to shred and slice your favorite fresh veggies right into your salad bowl.  Mix it up and make it healthy.  This is a great gadget to have in your kitchen.

Non-Stick Fry Pan

Swiss Diamond Cast-Aluminum Nonstick 10-Inch Fry Pan
Availability: Usually ships in 24 hoursPrice: $99.99

My next recommendation is for a high quality, non-stick fry pan.  The one I recommend is a Swiss Diamond.  It is important that you have a good frying pan, especially with the recent information on the potential hazards of cooking on nonstick surfaces have instigated a search among some consumers for a better cookware choice that still offers the convenience of nonstick. This Swiss company believes it has come up with a substitute that's even better than the original. Swiss Diamond coats the interiors of its cast aluminum pans with-of all things-diamond crystals. As it turns out, diamonds are excellent conductors of heat and produce an indestructible cooking surface that releases easily without the use of fats, doesn't peel or crack, and is even safe for the dishwasher and for use with metal utensils.  Most of the reviews I have read on this product have been excellent!  Non-Stick frying pans are perfect for the healthy kitchen because it requires less oils  and fat to prevent food from sticking, thus making your cooking much lighter and healthier.  I use Swiss Diamond and love the results myself-  get one for yourself and see for yourself, what all the buzz is all about.

Juicer

Breville BJE200XL 700-Watt Compact Juice Fountain
Availability: Usually ships in 24 hoursPrice: $130.00

The best way to get healthy vitamins and antioxidants is to drink them.  Not only is it healthy, but it also tastes great!  It is not as tough as you think.  With a handy juicer gadget, you can quickly make your drinks daily for you and your family.  Once I started, it became a habit to drink my vitamins and I am drinking my way to better health...how about you?  This gadget is also really fun, since you can be creative and make up some of your own recipes and mix up your own delicious healthy drinks.  If you don't have one yet, get one!

Digital Scale

EatSmart Digital Nutrition Scale - Professional Food and Nutrient Calculator
Availability: Available from a Third-PartyPrice: $89.95

Portion sizes have increased in America over the years and we still cannot get the correct portion sizes.  I recommend using a digital food scale to get it right!  This handy gadget helps you count carbs, protein and fat so you can control your cooking and make things just right and HEALTHY!  You should have this in your kitchen if you want to live healthy.  Measure ingredients, foods, yourself (just kidding)-  you get the point!

Food Steamer

Oster 5712 Electronic 2-Tier 6.1-Quart Food Steamer
Availability: Usually ships in 24 hoursPrice: $44.99

A food steamer is a must if you are to eat healthy.  Whats the point of eating your vegetables if you cook all the important nutrients away.  Might as well eat the plastic wrap it came in (only kidding)...kidding aside, a steamer will allow you prepare healthy vegetables and give you options for cooking your food without sacrificing the nutrients and vitamins!

These are only Five recommendations from me to help you live a healthier life and to Healthatize your kitchen... I wonder if that is an actual word.  Anyhow, I will do more research and bring you more recommendations for a healthy kitchen.  Thanks for visiting and happy "healthy" cooking.
