5 Kitchen Products to Eat Healthier in 2026

5 Kitchen Products to Eat Healthier in 2026
Table of contents

Eating well doesn't have to mean complicated meal plans, expensive superfoods or hours in the kitchen. Did you know that in the UK, one of the top New Year's resolutions is to eat healthier? And yet, most people abandon the idea within weeks. It's not because they don't want to eat better, but because making it happen every day is harder than it sounds.

The solution? Getting the right kitchen tools. Whether you want to drink your vegetables in the morning, cook tasty dishes with less fat, cut down on fatty oil or get a proper home-cooked meal on any night of the week, these five healthy cooking solutions will help you get there. Promise, we won't share any complicated recipes, just practical tools that make eating well a habit rather than the challenge of the year.

1. Cold Press Juicer: Drink Your Veg

We all know we should be eating more fruit and vegetables. But sometimes the easiest way to hit your five a day is to drink them. A cold press juicer is one of the best tools for this. Unlike standard centrifugal juicers that strip nutrients, a slow masticating juicer produces drinks at a low speed which preserves more vitamins, enzymes and minerals in every glass.

The Keplin Cold Press Juicer Machine handles everything from leafy greens and ginger to apples and carrots, making juicing at home straightforward and affordable. The slow masticating action of our juicer processes the food through a 7-stage auger, which also means less oxidisation, so your juice stays fresher for longer if you want to prep your "snacks" the night before. It is quieter than a standard juicer too, which is genuinely useful at 7am when you don't want to use something that sounds like a jet engine.

Try this: A classic green juice with spinach, cucumber, apple, lemon and a hint of ginger. Takes about three minutes to make and already gets three of your five a day done before you've sat down for breakfast

2. Air Fryer: Keep It Light and Crispy

Fried food doesn't have to be the enemy: it just needs the right appliance! An air fryer circulates hot air around food at high speed to create that crispy, golden finish without submerging anything in oil. Healthy air fryer recipes are easier than you'd expect. Chips, chicken, vegetables and crispy, golden snacks all come out brilliantly with a fraction of the fat found in regular frying.

The Keplin Air Fryer range includes everything from compact single-drawer models to our award-winning 9L Dual Zone Air Fryer. The latter lets you cook two different dishes at two different temperatures at the same time. The dual zone is particularly useful for a balanced meal: prepare chips at 200°C in one drawer while chicken thighs cook at 180°C in the other. No more soggy chips going cold while the protein catches up!

Worth knowing: Swapping deep frying for air frying can cut the fat content of your food by up to 75%. Good odds, isn't it?

3. Vegetable Chopper: Make It a Salad

The number one reason people don't eat more salad? Chopping. It sounds trivial but it's true. When you're tired and hungry, standing over a chopping board for 15 minutes to make a healthy dinner is no one's idea of fun. A good vegetable chopper is one of the most underrated meal prep tools you can own and it's so affordable!

The Keplin 7-in-1 Vegetable Chopper is perfect to dice, slice, chop and grate with a single press and comes with a built-in container so everything goes straight from chopper to bowl without any mess. Our stainless steel interchangeable blades can handle everything: onions, peppers, cucumbers, courgettes and even hard cheeses. A salad that would take 20 minutes of prep by hand takes about three.

Real use case: On a Sunday afternoon, use the chopper to prepare a big batch of vegetables. Store them in the container in the fridge and you've got the base for four or five quick lunches ready to go - no chopping required on the day.

4. Olive Oil Mister Sprayer: Have Oil, But Not Too Much

Olive oil is good for you. All types are high in monounsaturated fats linked with better heart health and contain polyphenols with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that may help protect your blood vessels. Too much of it, however, adds up quickly in terms of calories. Cooking with less oil is one of the simplest ways to reduce your daily intake without changing your menu. A single tablespoon contains around 120 calories and it's really easy to go overboard.

The Keplin Cooking Oil Spray Bottle holds 220ml, works with any oil you like and gives a fine, consistent mist that goes much further than pouring it over your next meal. Fill it with olive oil, rapeseed oil or avocado oil and use it across everything from roasted vegetables to salads. If you like this approach, think about using silicone air fryer liners for your oven and air-frying dishes to use less fat thanks to their non-stick coating.

Chef's tip: For salad dressings, mix your olive oil with lemon juice directly in the spray bottle. A couple of spritzes over will leaves gives you an even, light coating without drowning the salad. It's far better than drizzling freehand, promise.

5. Soup It Up: Multi-Function Blender and Soup Maker

Homemade soup is one of the most underrated healthy meals. It's filling, warming, easy to pack full of vegetables and very hard to get wrong. The problem is that making it from scratch on a weeknight can feel like a real project. A soup maker changes that completely, making it one of the most practical healthy cooking appliances you can add to your kitchen.

The Keplin's multi-Function Blender and Soup Maker heats and blends ingredients in the same 1.2L jug, which means you can go from raw vegetables to a nutrient-rich soup in around 20 to 25 minutes with (almost) no washing up. Without the heating component, it doubles as a standard blender for smoothies and sauces - making it an incredibly versatile kitchen gadget for your counter. Cook in batches on Sunday, Silicone Soup Freezer Tray and sort out your lunches for most of the week.

Double trouble: Kill two birds with one stone and get the air fryer involved, too: Roast a tray of butternut squash, carrot and red onion in the air fryer at 200°C for 10 minutes, tip it into the soup maker with vegetable stock and a pinch of nutmeg. That's four portions of warming, vitamin-packed soup for just a few quids.

Small Changes Make a Big Difference: Your New Default Kitchen Setup

Healthy eating doesn't require an overhaul. Here are your fighters: A juicer to kickstart the day, an air fryer for guilt-free snacks, a vegetable chopper for salads, an oil sprayer to keep your portions in check and a soup maker to get a proper dinner in under half an hour.

None of these products are life-changing on their own. Together, they make the healthy choice the default choice. Shop the full Keplin kitchen range and turn "I'll do it tomorrow" into today's job!

FAQs About Healthy Cooking Appliances

What kitchen appliances are worth buying for healthy eating?

Start with an air fryer and a good vegetable chopper. They have the widest impact on day-to-day cooking and between them cover most meals. Add a cold press juicer if you want an easier route to more fruit and vegetables, a soup maker if you batch cook, and an oil sprayer to cut back on fat without changing what you actually eat. You do not need all five at once. Even one of them shifts your habits more than you'd expect

Is an air fryer actually healthier than a regular oven?

For most recipes, yes. Air fryers circulate heat more intensively than a traditional oven, which means food cooks faster and needs far less oil to crisp up. For anything you'd normally deep fry, the difference in fat content is significant. For everyday oven cooking, the speed, convenience and lower energy make it an excellent choice for any household.

What is the difference between a cold press juicer and a regular juicer?

A standard centrifugal juicer spins at high speed, which breaks down some of the vitamins and enzymes in your produce before they even reach the glass. With a cold press or slow masticating juicer, you’ll press the juice out slowly with minimal heat, which means more nutrients are preserved. Our cold press juicer features this technology and can help you get healthy in no time.

What can you cook in an air fryer besides chips?

A lot more than most people realise. Roasted vegetables, salmon fillets, chicken thighs, soft-boiled eggs, fried snacks, halloumi and even baked goods. Air fryers are also good for reheating leftovers because they offer tastier results than a microwave and are faster than the oven. Our dual zone model even lets you run two completely different dishes at the same time so you can have a feast, even on a Tuesday night.

Is a soup maker worth it or is a blender just as good?

A blender can make cold soup but it cannot heat your meal. A soup maker heats and blends in the same jug, which cuts the number of pots and pans you have to use (and your washing up session). If you make soup regularly or want to batch-cook for the week, a soup maker is worth it.

How do I stop food from sticking in my air fryer without using too much oil?

A light mist from an oil spray bottle is the most effective solution. A couple of spritzes over the food or the basket gives you an even coating that prevents sticking without adding significant calories. Silicone liners and parchment air fryer liners are also useful for messier foods like fish or fritters and make cleaning up much easier.

What vegetables are best for meal prepping?

Root vegetables and hardy greens hold up best in the fridge after prepping. Pack your soups with carrots, peppers, cucumber, red onion, broccoli and courgette. They’ll last well for three to four days once chopped – just store them in an airtight container. A vegetable chopper makes this task much faster and allow you to sort out a week’s worth of food without having to get the chopping board out again.
