Vitamix
Hands down the one essential any healthy kitchen needs is a Vitamix. Sure, there are less expensive alternatives like the NutriBullet, but they don't pack the same horsepower. Vitamix can literally turn frozen fruits into a sorbet doppelgänger within seconds or peanuts into peanut butter with a quick press of a button. Now the brand's launched a smaller version of its classic, self-cleaning blender, allowing for portion control and portability since it comes with an on-the-go container. Plus, if you're a green juice lover, blending, for most people, is exceedingly more beneficial than juicing.
