At last, finding great gifts for healthy eaters doesn’t mean avoiding anything that looks delicious and exciting!
It also doesn’t mean you have to give them yet another fruit basket (not that we have anything against fruit, mind you).
Quite to the contrary, this handpicked list of gift ideas offers both the utilitarian as well as the downright fun. Many of them would be perfect choices for anyone on your gift list.
That’s right, even if they aren’t already health conscious, you might find a way to encourage a healthier lifestyle without the risk of offending them (as you might if you buy them a workout DVD).
After all, who wouldn’t love number 1, or number 3, or … well, keep reading and see for yourself!
Gift Ideas for the Healthy Eater
1. Yonanas Frozen Healthy Dessert Maker
Healthy eating doesn’t mean giving up dessert when you have this Fruit Soft-Server Maker from Yonanas. You get ice-cream-like taste without all the fat, sugar, preservatives and other unwanted additives in store bought products. This is also an excellent gift for vegans or for anyone who avoids dairy products due to lactose intolerance. Instead, they can use fresh fruits to create delicious soft-serve frozen treats. It’s also fast and easy to use.
2. Artcome Japanese Matcha Tea Set – Ceremony Start Up Set
Anyone who has discovered Matcha knows it isn’t just a nutritious drink, it’s an experience. Preparing your own is part of the soothing, relaxing benefit of slowing down and knowing the joy of a momentary escape. This ceremonial gift set provides everything needed for the correct way to make and enjoy this healthful drink. Don’t forget the Matcha green tea powder!
3. Gneiss Spice Pantry Kit (jars with magnetic lids)
What a find, wonderfully healthy spices with “built-in” convenient (even decorative) storage. This set includes 24 Magnetic spice jars filled with organic seasonings. Magnetic lids allow for simply clamping the jars to the frig or other metal surface for storage. Makes for a great way to save space and get organized. To ensure safety, the magnets and spices are separated by a stainless, food-safe barrier. This is the priciest item on my list, but it might just be perfect for that very special someone on your list.
4. Grow-It-Yourself Sprouts Kit
Nothing is fresher than growing your own! This Sprout Garden Complete Starter Kit contains everything needed to grow sprouts in the kitchen, including a 2 oz. pack of organic alfalfa seeds. This is an especially nice choice for apartment dwellers or anyone with a small kitchen because it takes up only a tiny amount of space. Yet despite its small size, it lets you grow up to 4 pounds of sprouts in 3 days. It’s a great gift for healthy eaters who want to try something new and fun.
5. Mandoline Slicer ***AND*** Glove
Fresh is healthy, and the more you eat fresh, the more cutting and slicing is involved. The Swissmar Borner V Power Mandoline (V-7000) is super handy for making all sorts of food prep tasks much faster and easier, especially when you want extra thin or nice even slices of uniform thickness.
There is just one condition with this gift – gloves are not optional! The last thing you want is to give a gift that sends your loved one to the emergency room. Give them good protection like this pair of NoCry Cut Resistant Gloves. They’re food grade, washable, snug fit for good gripping, and a must-have when using a super sharp mandoline.
6. Spiral Vegetable Slicer
Health conscious or not, everyone loves this! The Paderno World Cuisine Tri-Blade Spiral Vegetable Slicer is a #1 bestseller online with over 7,000 reviews and about 90% of them very positive. Of course kids love it for the cute factor, but adults appreciate fancy too. In addition to looks, you get a unique texture factor in spiral cut fruits and vegetables that enhances your enjoyment.
7. Airtight & Leakproof Pyrex Glass Food Keeper Set
Food-Friendly and People-Friendly – Anyone concerned about what is in their food is also concerned about what they put their food into. Give them a no-more-worries option with this nice set of containers.
These food storage containers are made of eco-friendly Borosilicate glass, and the locking lids are BPA free. They are leakproof, air tight, and microwave safe. The set of 10 includes five each of small and large size containers. All are resistant to thermal shock, which is great when you need to transfer them from the freezer to the oven without worrying that they will break.
8. Presto PopLite Hot Air Popper and Organic Popcorn
Those prepackaged bags for the microwave might be convenient, but there’s a much healthier way to make popcorn that is every bit as fast. This little machine will turn out up to 18 cups of popcorn in less than 3 minutes, and healthy eaters will love the fact that it’s air popped with no oil needed.
Just don’t make them wait until they can run to the store for corn to try it out!
While you’re ordering, include this 3 pound bag of Anthony’s Organic Yellow Popcorn Kernels. It’s certified organic, non GMO, gluten free, and 100% grown and packaged right here in the U.S.A.
9. Tofu Press
Tofu lovers will be delighted to abandon the clutter and mess of home-made pressing contraptions for this Super Tofu Presser. It’s fast, simple to use, easy to clean (dishwasher safe), and it doesn’t take up lots of space. In fact it will even fit in most kitchen sinks.
10.Salad Spinner (No, I’m Not Kidding!)
This might seem like a waste of space for a one-use item, but now that I own one I couldn’t disagree more – anyone who frequently eats salads will love this! You save on meal prep by washing all your greens the day you buy them. Getting them dry is what makes them stay fresh longer. Using paper towels is wasteful and takes too long. Salad spinners give you a much better option, and they really work!
