44 Best Gifts For Healthy Foodies (2024)

1. Tofu press: If your plant-based foodie doesn't own a tofu press yet, they need one! It's been an absolute game-changer for me in terms of tofu texture and crispiness. I even wrote an entire tofu guide about it.

2. Vegan scrambled egg seasoning: This is the ultimate seasoning to make silken tofu actually taste like eggs. Trust me, the sulfurous taste of black salt is surprisingly similar to eggs. Here's my scrambled tofu recipe if you want to include it with your gift.

3. Stainless steel veggie spiralizer: It's such a fun tool to make veggie noodles, salads, and even desserts. If you want to go the extra mile, make sure to print out a few spiralized vegetable recipes.

4. Healthy Made Simple cookbook: Most people on a plant-based diet are familiar with the plant-based empire that Ella Mills and her husband have created. Her new book coming out in January 2024 is perfect to help your favorite foodie find delicious plant-based meal ideas.

1. Cold brew coffee maker: I'm sure every coffee addict will love this cold brew machine. Its genius technology allows you to make cold brew coffee in minutes instead of hours, all without using heat. If you want to be extra thoughtful, you can add a bag of ground coffee beans for cold brew.

2. Electric milk frother: True latte art skills require a good milk frother. This one makes hot and cold foam, which is perfect for all sorts of coffee-based drinks.

If you want to sound like a true match latte pro, pass on this tip: First, combine the matcha powder with maple or agave syrup to avoid clumps. Then, add warm (not hot) water and whisk until dissolved. Finally, pour the matcha into a cup with (warm or cold) milk.

It saves countless trips to the outdoor compositing bin, doesn't smell, and actually looks great in the kitchen.

6. Compact air purifier: Don't we all deal with smells in the house from time to time? This award-winning air purifier traps (kitchen) odors, kills bacteria, and improves the air quality of small and large rooms. I love a non-toxic way to make the house more breathable without using fragrances and chemical products.

1. Olive oil and vinegar bottles: Their stylish and minimalistic look will fit in any kitchen. You can also add them to a gift basket with a bottle of fancy olive oil and flavored vinegar.
