7 Days Fun of Clean RecipesDownload

Clean Food Love

Clean eating is for anyone who wants to maintain a healthy lifestyle by consuming primarily whole/real food.

The best way to start is with a kitchen equipped with the right ‘instruments’ to make the magic happen!

You CAN have that kitchen without breaking the bank.

Here are ten kitchen tools that will make clean cooking so much easier – and they’re all under $30:

Mason Jars for Prep

1. Mason jars

Mason jars are a great way to store fresh ingredients that you prepped for your clean dishes. The secure lids make the jars airtight – which means they’re also the perfect ‘vessel’ for food that has to be kept moisture-free, like meal prep salads, prep-ahead omelet, or instant oatmeal jars. They provide just the right size for the ideal serving of these grab-and-go meals!

Best thing about mason jars is you can get them at a very low price. On Amazon, they are less than $10 (12-pack): https://cleanfoodcrush.com/mason-jars

Food Chopper

2. Hand-powered food chopper

You can now quickly & easily deal with big pieces of fruits, vegetables, or meat, with the help of a hand-powered food chopper!

This tool is perfect for making salads and dips (bring on the guacamole!), and is honestly just a great time-saving, budget-friendly way to make your preps easier. Here’s one to make your clean kitchen (and wallet) happy for less than $20

mandoline slicer

3. Multi-function vegetable slicer

Slicing vegetables is not always an easy task. But it’s one that you do have to master since sliced vegetables are incdlued in a lot of clean dishes.

Some recipes would require you to make beautiful circular slices, others need you to dish out julienned pieces – and they’re supposed to be an ideal size. These tasks can be pretty intimidating, but not when you have a multi-function vegetable slicer that comes with attachments to let you do all that! This one is available for under $20 and includes a mandoline slicer, julienne slicer, fruit brush, and more:

4. Silicon Baking Mats

Baking is a healthy way to cook food while keeping it flavorful.

Wouldn’t it be a huge time-saver if you don’t have to scrape off sticky or dried-up ingredients? 

Good thing, silicon baking mats have been invented, making Baked Onion Rings, Sweet Cajun Baked Shrimp, & Clean Eating Quinoa Chicken Parmesan is now hassle-free.

This silicon mat can also be used in the freezer & refrigerator!

This is so much easier than parchment paper.

You can get them for under $15: https://cleanfoodcrush.com/silpat

measuring spoons

5. Measuring spoons

Another essential tool in any kitchen are measuring spoons.

You wouldn’t want to have a tad too much coconut oil in your muffins, or a bit too much sea salt in your skillet dish. Get an affordable, high-quality set here:

6. Pineapple corer and slicer

Pineapples are love – they’re juicy, refreshing, and oh so nutritious! But one look at that thick skin, and you know it’s going to be quite a chore peeling, coring, and slicing it. If you love your clean recipes like the Frozen Whipped Pineapple and Frozen Pineapples Dipped in Dark Chocolate, get yourself this pineapple peeler, corer, and slicer.

It makes those desserts so convenient to make, and is a steal at under $10:

citrus press

7. Handheld Citrus Press

We all know lemon and lime juice work wonders in a clean kitchen. Aside from making your daily water consumption extra refreshing, they’re also perfect for adding an interesting twist to favorite clean recipes like the 1-Pan Lemon Artichoke Chicken, Turkey Tenderloin with Fresh Lemon Thyme Sauce, or the Lemon Basil Chicken Breast Stuffed with Asparagus.  

Juicing them does take some effort though. Especially if you want to make the most of your lemon and limes, and don’t want any of the tiny seeds (they tend to be bitter) getting into your dish. Good thing there’s a durable, highly-effective handheld citrus press like this one:

stainless steel zester

8. Zester and Grater

Sometimes, what you just need is a dash of lemon zest, or a bit of grated cauliflower.

A sturdy and sharp zester and grater will make these delicious dishes possible: Lemon Pepper Chicken & Kale Stir-Fry, Grainless Cripy Halibut Fillets, and Cauliflower “Fried Rice”.

It’s made with surgical steel blades, comes with a brush for easy cleaning, and is so financially-friendly at under $10.

salt and pepper set

9. Stainless Steel Salt and Pepper Grinder Set

Himalayan sea salt and fresh ground pepper are a great way of adding mouth-watering flavor to any dish. 

This elegant and durable brushed stainless steel set with ceramic rotor mechanism gives you all that functionality, at a pocket-friendly price that is worth every dollar!

10. Spiral Vegetable Slicer

Saved the best for last. This tool is my FAVORITE. I seriously never run out of clean meals to make with this gadget.

There are a lot of different veggie slicers on the market, but this one has been extremely reliable for everyone who I have told to buy one.  Mine is several years old, I use it frequently, and it’s still as sharp as the day I bought it. It’s $30 well spent!
