If You Want to Cook Healthy, These Kitchen Items Are a Must

Although a really powerful blender like a Vitamix can be used to puree just about anything, the wider base of a food processor ($200) is sometimes easier to work with. So if you love creating nut butters, protein bars, unique desserts like these vegan salted caramels, as well as making your own baking ingredients like oat flour and almond meal, a food processor is a must. It can also be used to make big batches of baby food or creamy soups that you can freeze for later.
