Gift Guide - Healthy Gifts for Foodies
STOP scrolling through endless amounts of websites looking for the perfect gift ideas! This gift guide has all the best ideas for healthy gifts for foodies in your life.
The list has something for anyone who cooks, likes food, wants to be healthy or just can't shut up about recipes and cooking! From basics (like glass storage dishes) to super fun gifts (see the ones at the end!) I've put together a list that has variety, uniqueness, but also great reviews.
I think I might send this list to my mom and tell her this is pretty much my wishlist (I'll just check off what I already have - which is shockingly most of it!) Hey, you can do that too! If you like the stuff listed, why not do your shopping for others and then send this list out to people who are looking for ideas for you??

Gift Guide - Healthy Gifts for Foodies
Cuisinart Immersion Blender
If you know someone who likes soup and likes cooking (or does a lot of cooking by necessity) then they need one of these! When you need to puree a soup then this is definitely the easiest tool to use (and clean)! It might just be on my top 5 favorite kitchen tools...
Instant Pot DUO60 6 Qt 7-in-1
Of course you are going to see the Instant Pot on my holiday gift guide for foodies! I actually think that every home should have one (or two)!
Duo, the number 1 selling multi-cooker, combines 7 kitchen appliances in 1, Pressure Cooker, Slow Cooker, Rice Cooker, Steamer, Sauté, Yogurt Marker and Warmer, prepares dishes up to 70% faster to support your busy lifestyle.
Clearly a winner for anyone who eats (so everyone!)
Buy on Amazon. Get an Instant Pot cookbook to go with it!
Lodge 12 Inch Cast Iron Skillet
An improvement on the original: the Lodge Cast Iron Skillet, featuring an assist handle. This will be your go-to pan for generations to come. We use both of our iron skillets so frequently it's a wonder they even have a place in the cupboard.
Vitamix Blender
I could not live (at least not as healthily) without my Vitamix...I use it at least once a day! Most people trying to eat and cook healthier would agree. Whether it is for smoothies, dips, marinades, soups or Bulletproof coffee, this super strength blender is without a doubt...amazing!
Buy at Vitamix.com or Buy a Vitamix blender on Amazon. I use the 5200 and absolutely love it but some people prefer the shorter "low profile" ones that can fit under cabinets in kitchens.
KitchenAid Stand Mixer
When we first got this mixer it sat in our cupboard for months (possibly years?) until one day I decided to break it out. It doesn't spend much time in the cupboard anymore! I use it to make my famous (or so I like to think) Protein-Packed Banana Nut & Raisin Breakfast Muffins almost weekly, cookies, health bars, whipped cream, and so much more!
Le Creuset
While a bit pricey, Le Creuset cookware lasts forever and can be so versatile. I own one and would be over the moon if someone gave me an addition to my collection. (See all the options here).
Silicone Chocolate Molds & Candy Molds & Gummy Molds
Make your own gummies or candies with less sugar, create fun ice cubes with herbs and fruit, make flavored ice cubes for coffee or cocktails, or even repurpose old crayons and make fun new ones!
Pyrex Glass Storage Containers with Lids
This might seem like a boring gift but to someone who cooks a lot, meal preps a lot, and wants to steer clear of toxic plastic then this is it! A must-have in any healthy household.
Organic Bamboo Extra Large Cutting Board
I absolutely think extra large cutting boards are a must have in a functional kitchen. Raw bamboo products never contain harmful chemicals, dyes, solvents, adhesives, stains, lacquers, sealants, formaldehyde, pesticides, etc. commonly found elsewhere. Plus, bamboo is known to have natural, anti-microbial properties, making it the best choice for kitchen use (but hey, you should probably still wash it)!
Egg and Pancake Molds
These are just the cutest way to make a child (or an inner child) smile at breakfast time! With 8 different shapes, you can please everyone and also cook multiple servings at the same time.
Emoji Smiley Face Pancake Pan
Start someone's day with character and lighten up the morning with the Funny Face Pancake Pan by Good Cooking. With 7 unique and fun faces, each pancake is a happy, winky, or goofy reason to smile. This pan makes seven 3" pancakes at once and features a 100% non-stick coating for easy cooking and clean up.
Spiralizer
More Than Zoodles...
While zoodles remain a popular go-to in the spiralizing world...this clever machine opens up a whole new world to vegetables. Create healthy and visually appealing meals or side dishes in minutes! The spiralizer is the perfect addition to anyone's kitchen, including those with special diets like paleo, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic. Spiralized food items can be eaten raw or cooked.
Here's the bottom line on Spiralizers. There are a lot of good ones out there with minor differences. You could probably research them for days but don't. They are fairly inexpensive and different people are going to find different pros and cons. Read the raving reviews from America's Test Kitchen and buy the best one on Amazon.
Cookbooks
Inspiralized: Turn Vegetables into Healthy, Creative, Satisfying Meals
The Inspiralized cookbook is A New York Times Bestseller and the definitive cookbook for using a spiralizer: the kitchen gadget that turns vegetables and fruits into imaginative, low-carb dishes.
This cookbook would make a great present for a health-conscious foodie along with a Spiralizer!
Ready or Not!: 150+ Make-Ahead, Make-Over, and Make-Now Recipes by Nom Nom Paleo
You know how it is: some days, you're fired up and ready to cook; other days, you dread the thought of making dinner. More often than not, you find yourself floating somewhere between inspiration and desperation. What's a crazy busy (but kind of lazy) home cook to do?
The answer: pick up this book. Do you see why it would be the perfect gift?
The Ultimate Instant Pot Cookbook: 200 Deliciously Simple Recipes for Your Electric Pressure Cooker
If someone has an Instant Pot - then they need a cookbook (or 5) to go with it! There are endless recipes you can make in an Instant Pot and so having at least one great cookbook allows an Instant Pot owber to fully utilize its greatness! This cookbook is the perfect gift for someone in the IP Cult!
