Gadgets for healthier living
I love gadgets! Anything that can simplify my life is a plus. Especially when it comes to a healthier lifestyle. We all know that time is precious. We are super-humans; trying to work our jobs, play with our children, fitting our workout in. It is always great to be able to save time where most of us feel like we spend the most time...in our kitchens!
These are some items I can't live without. I use them everyday. They save time, energy, and leaving them out reminds me that I need to eat healthier.
Apple Corer - These are great! Sometimes biting into an apple means pieces stuck in our teeth, and that means we deny ourselves the pleasure. This will slice and core your apple in one step, making them easier for kids to handle too! Try dipping your apple in 2 Tbls. of natural peanut butter for a healthy, protein packed snack!
Mango Slicer - Mangos are awesome! I never quite realized how good they were until my children spotted them in the produce section and insisted we try them. After our first taste, we were all hooked! Mangos are loaded with Vitamin C, Vitamin A and Potassium, not to mention alot of other good stuff. Be sure to choose mangos that give slightly when pressed but aren't too soft or too firm. Mangos can be a chore to prepare, but this little gadget saves alot of time! Simply place the pointy end of your mango under the center of this splitter and let 'er rip. You get a perfectly pitted piece of fruit. Score each remaining half into bite size chunks and just peel the chunks from the skin! This is a must have if you love the Mango!
Pineapple Slicer- Nothing in this world makes me happier than fresh pineapple! It has been known to aid in digestion therefore I eat a bowl of fresh pineapple every morning before I put anything else in my tummy. But, handling a fresh pineapple can be torturous! Yep, they're prickly! After I bought this gadget, I buy a pineapple at every supermarket visit, without the guilt. Simple cut off the top of your pineapple, and using the proper size slicer, start screwing the slicer into the top of the pineapple. This handy little gadget not only cores the fruit, but makes spiral slices at the same time! Be sure to do this over a plate so that you can save all the juice it creates and drink it down with your pineapple! Also, the remaining pineapple shell can be used to make a lovely tropical drink, if you are so inclined. Order the pineapple slicer with the three different sized corers for different sized pineapples!
Mini Chopper - Hate chopping onions? This tool is for you! Just cut your vegetable into large chunks and use this to finish the job. This is a great tool for chopping veggies for soups or salads. It also does a great job with garlic! Try chopping mini carrot sticks for quick additions to recipes, or even herbs! My step-son got me one of these years ago for Christmas, and for certain, it is one of the most used gifts I ever received!
Here's hoping these kitchen gadgets help you just as they have helped me! Making healthier food choices for your family is so rewarding! These can help that effort be, well, less of an effort!
