7 Kitchen Gadgets That Make Life Easy

NutriBullet Balance

While the NutriBullet is nothing new on our kitchen gadget radar, its newest product, NutriBullet Balance, changes the blending game. The Balance model is set apart because of its linked app, which provides recipes, nutrition data and portion control features. The app can also adjust to a variety of diets, including diabetic-friendly, weight management and heart healthy. The app syncs with your blender to measure out your ingredients as you pour, so you know exactly what’s going into your favorite smoothie. Find it for $99.99 HERE.

FoodSaver FM2100 Vacuum Sealing System

The FoodSaver website claims to help home chefs save up to $2,700 annually. Concerned about plastic waste, too? The newest model uses 40% less bag material than previous versions.
