The 6 Best Kitchen Tools For Any Healthy Cook To Have At Home - mindbodygreen.com

While most people in wellness have a blender (and I definitely do, and use it daily to make smoothies and lattes), they're often slower to purchase a food processor. I actually find a food processor has even more uses than a blender, once you know what to do with it. I use it to make broccoli, carrot, and cauliflower rice, putting the chunked vegetable in with the blade attachment and pulsing a few times until a rice-like texture forms.

I also love to make chopped salads with it—the process is the same as the riced veggies but with a few less pulses (just don't overcrowd it with either process, or you'll end up with unevenly sized chunks). I love it for making pestos or homemade nut butters—while both are possible in a high-powered blender, often a lot of the finished product will get stuck under the blades, and a food processor lets you not waste anything.

Finally, if you want to make your energy balls, a food processor is a must-have—it mashes any dried fruit and nut mixture to make a healthy snack in seconds. My pick: The Cuisinart 11-Cup food processor is the perfect size—not too big for my small apartment and not too small to make quick work of any of my vegetables ($129.99)
