Appliances

Over the last few years, I've found that there are 5 products I recommend every vegan kitchen to have, plus 1 for a bonus!

1. High-powered Blender

My personal favorite blender is my Vitamix! I use it daily mostly for my smoothies, but also for soups, dressing, dips, sauces, nut butters, etc.

2.Trust-worthy Food Processor

I've tried quite a few food processors and have found one to be both faithfully powerful and easy-to-clean. It's my Cuisinart Food Processor. It can process tough, sticky foods like dates and not sound like it's struggling one bit!

3. A Good Knife

I used to use whatever serrated knife I could find... until I tried a Wusthof. No longer do I need a steak knife to cut my tomatoes. No sir, now I just grab my Wusthof 7-in. Santoku Knife with Bamboo Board. With the German forged steel blade and the smoothness and precision it has while slicing through root vegetables, it has rightly earned itself the title "Hummingbird's Choice Knife" Award.

4. Spiralizer

Who knew such genius existed?!! This magical device takes ordinary vegetables and turns them into power noodles! You must try it for yourself to see this wonderful event take place before your very eyes! This tool is commonly known as The Spiralizer.

5. Citrus Juicer

Who doesn't love a nice, tall, refreshing glass of fresh-squeezed orange juice? This Citristar Citrus Juicer is great because it gets all the juice, strains the pulp, is powerful, and is easy to clean. I use it with oranges, grapefruits, lemons, etc. It's excellent!

**Bonus!: Yonanas "Ice cream" Maker

I scream. You scream. We all scream for ICE CREAM!!! And if you're like me, then your stomach screams at you if you eat traditional ice cream. I thought I would have to give up the frozen goodness till I came across (wait for it).... The Yonanas Ice Cream Treat Maker!!! So if you would like to make deliciously fruity soft serve treats for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert then I recommend you try The Amazing Yonanas Machine.
