4 Must-Have Tools to Succeed on Raw ✅
Here are the 4 kitchen tools I highly recommend you buy to make raw eating really easy...
1. Blender
I use my blender almost daily. It’s perfect for making dressings, sauces, dips, and smoothies. I’ve used both a NutriBullet and a Ninja. You don’t need anything super expensive, but it does need to be powerful enough to properly blend frozen fruit, nuts, and seeds. I recommend getting one with a power rating of 900W or higher. Anything less and you’ll end up with half-ground nuts in your sauces!
If you want something really powerful, a Vitamix is the best of the best. They’re basically the kings of the blender world (but a lot more of an investment!). They’re also larger in size, which is perfect for making big, high-calorie smoothies or batch-prepping sauces to last a few days. If you're using a smaller blender like a Ninja or NutriBullet, you'll need to make multiple smoothies to hit the same calorie intake.
2. Juicer
This was one of the first tools I bought when I started my journey. I was inspired by Medical Medium after coming across him on social media while looking for ways to heal my acne naturally. He introduced me to the importance of consuming more fruits and vegetables and how juicing is such an easy way to do that.
My first juicer was a cheap Breville that I bought for under $100. I used it every single day… actually, multiple times a day. It got me through my first 8-day juice fast and hundreds of days of juicing after that. I completely fell in love with juicing, and it became a daily ritual I never skipped. When the Breville finally burnt out, I upgraded to the Nama J1. I immediately noticed how much smoother and richer the juice was. Because the Nama is cold-pressed, my juices could stay fresh for up to 3 days in the fridge. This was a total game changer, especially when I was juice fasting.
I ended up doing multiple fasts with it (several short ones, plus a 14-day, 17-day, and 30-day). That 30-day experience was a life-changing experience I'll never forget. Now I have the Nama J2, and I use it every single day. It’s a hands-free juicer with a giant hopper, which means you can load everything in and walk away while it does the work for you. So handy if you're short on time or multitasking. It also comes with a bunch of attachments, so you can make things like nut milk and sorbet too. (And if you’re interested, my discount code AMY10 will save you 10% 😉)
3. Spiraliser
Spiralisers are kind of funny-looking, but they’re so fun to use! You'll feel like a little kid again.
They turn veggies into noodles, so you can make raw versions of pasta dishes. Most come with different blade sizes, so you can choose between thick or thin noodles depending on what you’re making.
I’ve used mine to create so many raw pasta dishes. My favourite is a raw spaghetti bolognese. I also love adding zoodles to salads to bulk them out and make them more filling.
4. Food Processor
This is one tool you will love. Food processors are incredibly versatile. They come in different sizes, so you can choose based on your needs. When I lived at home, I used my mum’s all the time. I was making nice cream on repeat (basically whipped frozen bananas with frozen fruit), and the texture is literally like ice cream, but it's completely plant-based and nourishing.
I also used it to make raw caramel slice, walnut “meat” for tacos, bliss balls, cauliflower rice, and shredded veggies.
These are the four MUST-HAVES in a raw kitchen.
Without them, it’s going to be much harder to stick to the lifestyle and actually enjoy it.
Yes, you can eat fruit as is, but why limit yourself, especially if you’re new to this way of eating?
Raw food is about having fun, experimenting, and exploring. It’s a lifestyle of abundance and pure creation! 🧡👩🍳🌱
