Labor Day is almost here, and the three-day weekend is the perfect time to catch up on online shopping. Amazon is brimming with innumerable deals on all the kitchen essentials you need to live a healthier lifestyle, so we polled the experts to learn which kitchen products to look out for while they’re on sale. 

According to Jessica DeGore of Dietitian Jess Nutrition, “Investing in kitchen appliances is a great way to take a step towards healthier eating.” Other experts swear by affordable storage containers, cookware sets and most notably, reusable water bottles and tumblers. “If we make it a habit to carry our refillable water bottles with us wherever we go, chances are we will drink more water throughout the day,” said Registered Dietitian Nutritionist Nicolette Maggiolo.

Yeti Rambler Straw Cup

“Not only is this water bottle completely BPA and chemical-free, but it keeps your liquids extra cold or hot based on personal preferences. Further, the straw feature makes taking sips of water throughout the day much more convenient than having to twist and tilt other water bottles. Whatever helps you hydrate better is an automatic win as drinking sufficient water is key for proper nutrient absorption, easier digestion, better energy and overall well-being.” – Lisa Moskovitz, RD, CEO, NY Nutrition Group; author, The Core 3 Healthy Eating Plan

The Beast Mini Blender

“One of my go-to healthy eating hacks for busy days is blending fruits and veggies with a good protein source into a well-balanced and blood sugar-stabilizing smoothie. In order to accomplish this, it’s important to combine a fresh/frozen fruit, a veggie, a protein source such as powder or Greek yogurt and a fat like avocado or chia seeds. This mini blender blends these grittier ingredients perfectly, making it the perfect consistency. It comes with a lid and straw, so you can literally blend and go. The bonus feature is that this blender is the perfect size to make your own pureed nutrient-dense soups, salad dressings and marinades at home.” – Lisa Moskovitz

Caraway Glass Food Storage Set

“Meal prepping is not for everyone, but micro-meal prepping may appeal more to the masses. Instead of batch-cooking complete meals for the week when you’re not sure you’ll even be in the mood for it, you can prepare smaller ingredients and store in the fridge to mix and match at your leisure. This concept basically turns your fridge into a mini salad bar or buffet, but having the right food storage containers on hand is imperative. Caraway is a top-quality brand that manufactures non-toxic, durable and long-lasting products that will make healthy eating much easier.” – Lisa Moskovitz

Owala FreeSip Insulated Stainless Steel Water Bottle

“Tumblers and water bottles are investments I encourage for all clients as I will help them consume more water. My favorite is Owala brand.” – Jessica DeGore, Owner/Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, Dietitian Jess Nutrition

Yedi Evolution Air Fryer

“I am a big fan of the ‘set it and forget it’ method of preparing meals, especially for my busier clients who don’t have a lot of time to prepare healthy meals. Air fryers are awesome for this task. Those with a stainless-steel basket are healthier than non-stick machines, so grab this while it’s discounted!” – Sarah Herrington, MS, CNC, CPT, Brio-Medical

Carote 12-Piece Ceramic Cookware Set

“Updating cookware is necessary every few years, and this nonstick ceramic set can help reduce the amount of oil necessary when cooking — without harsh chemicals.” – Sarah Herrington

S’well Stainless Steel Roamer Bottle, 64-Ounce

“One of the first things I will look for this year on Labor Day Weekend is a great water bottle. I am in need of a new one, and I prefer to have a larger-sized screw-top (no straw) style bottle. The reason I choose this style and size of water bottle is because I find it helps me to drink more water throughout the day, supporting my hydration. I am also in the habit of always having it with me wherever I go. In my personal experience, the straw-style water bottles lead to more sipping as opposed to actually drinking, and I find that they don’t support my hydration needs as much — especially during physical activity when I am sweating and have my heart rate up.” – Nicolette Maggiolo, MBA, RDN, LDN, Director of Clinical Operations, Home Base

Xangnier Reusable Silicone Lunch Box Dividers

“School is right around the corner, which means getting up earlier and setting aside time to prepare lunch kits and snacks. Instead of investing in (yet another) new lunch box, you can use the containers you already have at home, then use these silicone “cups” to create your own flexible bento-style lunch box. I wouldn’t use the animal food picks unless your young child is supervised closely at meal times though. This dietitian mama gets paranoid over choking hazards.” – Angel Luk, Registered Dietitian, Nutritionist

Bentgo All-in-One Salad Container

“This ‘salad’ bowl doesn’t have to be just for salad. The bowl can hold any cold or hot item, and the bento tray in the middle can hold an afternoon snack to ward off that afternoon slump.” – Angel Luk

Sahara Sailor Motivational Water Bottle

“Who doesn’t need a gentle reminder to drink more water? The majority of my clients don’t drink enough. They may opt for fluids that are caffeinated, high in added sugar, or loaded with artificial sweeteners, when what they truly need more of is just water. Water can improve our energy levels, digestion, blood pressure, temperature regulation, constipation, help flush bacteria from our bladder, and more!” – Angel Luk
