From juicers to air fryers, 13 kitchen gadgets for healthy eating at home

A good juicer machine can be life-changing. Once you experience how it slowly processes fruits and vegetables into delicious juice packed with vitamins and fiber, there's no going back. This highly-rated Breville machine has a 3-inch wide feed opening that lets you put in whole produce (no chopping required), a mesh basket to strain out pulp, and two speeds to optimize juice and nutrient extraction. And it's a lot cheaper than other brands, making it a kitchen essential you won't regret.

With a powerful 1000-watt motor and compact design, the NutriBullet is perfect for quickly blending all kinds of produce, from fresh smoothies to hummus and pesto (it can even handle coarse nuts). Its size fits easily on your counter and is easy to clean, so you'll get frequent use out of it.

One of the biggest obstacles to cooking at home is the time it takes to cook. This smart countertop oven cuts cooking times and delivers restaurant-quality results. This oven has 10 cooking modes (Air Fry (crisply food without frying), Whole Roast, Air Roast, Bake, Dehydrate, Pizza, Grill, Toast, Bagel and Reheat), two cooking levels and 10 times the convection power of a traditional full-size convection oven. If you want quick, healthy meals without the need for turning, this high-tech oven is for you.

Sous vide cooking involves placing food in a sealed bag, removing all the air, and cooking it in water at a specific temperature. This results in tender, juicy foods that are rarely overcooked, from lean meats and fish to vegetables. The increased flavor reduces the need for salt and rich toppings. Chefs love Breville's immersion circulator because it's magnetic and works with any pan. (Note: You don't need a vacuum sealer to cook sous vide, but it makes the job easier. Try this FoodSaver model.)

This multitasking soup maker makes making soup super easy and delicious without constant stirring and monitoring. Just add your ingredients, press a button and choose from purees, chunky soups, cold soups, compotes, smoothies and milk-based soups. In under 20 minutes, soup for four is ready – perfectly blended and heated to the right texture and temperature.

This excellent infusion machine allows you to create butters, oils, and even honey and milks using your favorite antioxidant-rich herbs, flowers, spices, or fruits, for fresh results without all the preservatives often found in commercial versions.

If one of your goals is to drink more water, but you actually hate the taste of water, consider the SodaStream. This compact machine turns regular water into sparkling carbonated water with a strong and irresistible bubbly taste, which you can flavor with a squeeze of lemon or lime or a mix of different drops.

If you want fresh, vitamin-rich juice without the hassle of squeezing or investing in a larger juicer, this is a simple, hassle-free solution. Two automatic reversing cones squeeze every drop out of your favorite citrus fruits (the smaller cone is perfect for smaller oranges, lemons, and limes, while the larger cone is perfect for grapefruit).

Ninja's Creami is finally back in stock after being sold out. This innovative machine lets you make fully customized sorbets, smoothie bowls, and healthier ice creams. You control the ingredients, so you can go dairy-free or vegan, for example. Just prepare the base, freeze overnight, and process (bonus: everything comes in pint-sized containers that store easily in the freezer).

Cooking at home is much healthier than takeout, but you can't expect truly great results without the right tools. This professional chef's knife set has all the essentials you need to make chopping, dicing, and slicing stress-free (and fun).

If you're looking to commit more to a plant-based diet, consider a spiralizer to create vegetable “noodles” or thin ribbons that are similar to pasta but without the carb loads. Chefs love using them to create pumpkin, zucchini, and even potato spirals that can be served with a healthy sauce or as a raw side dish.

Fresh salads are packed with nutrients, but making them at home can be a pain because the leaves need to be washed and dried. The Oxo Salad Spinner simplifies and speeds up the process. The two-chamber bowl churns the lettuce, removing all the moisture, leaving you with a crisp salad in just minutes.

You want to prepare healthy food that stays fresh and easy to take with you to work or travel, so this 15-piece Porter set includes everything you need, including bowls, mugs, bottles, utensils and bags, and is made from eco-friendly materials like borosilicate glass, LFGB-certified silicone and BPA-free plastic lids.
