Healthy Steps Review & Giveaway




When you are wanting to take those first
Healthy Steps to making your life better by simply
living and eating right there is a great website with
lots of information, kitchen gadgets, recipes and more
to help you along that road that leads to a more happy
and healthy life for you and your family. I know one thing
that helps me stay focused is when I enjoy cooking or
preparing those healthy meals. If you are like me your
kitchen is lacking all those tools to make your life 
easier and help you be more positive about the time 
you do spend in the kitchen. Tools that cut your time in
half or cut down the clutter in your drawers and utensil
jars by combining more tools into one! Healthy Steps
has an awesome selection of multiple use kitchen
gadgets to do just that!


The Avocado Pro is one of those tools.

You can definitely lessen your prep time and maybe have more 
utensil storage with the Avocado Pro. I know I use knifes, spoons
and forks to prepare guacamole or dips with avocado. With
this cool tool you can use it to open, pit, slice, scoop and 
mash your avocado and not have so much to wash after wards!
I love the slicing part of it as well, no more carefully cutting them
into the perfect wedges for salads and toppings and having 
them mash on you or turn out odd shaped. 
I know avocados are great for your health and there are 
many benefits and great for diets and healthy eating!

One of the things I love about the Healthy Steps
website is their portion control tools that help you 
manage and maintain a healthy weight which is very 
important for dieting or just everyday living. 
I know there are many times we do not think about
just how much we are eating or paying close attention
as we should in order to stay at a healthy weight.
from that line that provides portion control for
serving fresh or frozen veggies!

I love the idea of having a serving spoon that tells
you how much of a serving you are giving. The spoon
serves 1/2 cup and it has it listed on the bottom inside
of the spoon itself which can be a great reminder, it is
also slotted to drain the liquid from your veggies.
Two level spoonfuls are equal to one serving of vegetables
or one cup. Another great thing about this kitchen tool is
its dishwasher safe for easy cleaning and also
heat resistant to 400o F / 204o C.

The third product we received is the Healthy Steps
Total Tea infuser that brews one cup of your favorite tea. 
I am not a tea drinker so I will just pass this along for 
some family members who will enjoy it, and tell you 
just a little about what the company has to say about 
this Healthy Step product. The attractive spoon design 
holds loose leaf or bagged teas and leaves no messy
tealeaves in your cup. Simply swirl, stir, or press plunger 
to release more tea flavor. They also suggest you try some
of their favorite stir-ins for added flavor or create your own. 
They suggest:


  • Cinnamon sticks, cardamom and cloves.



  • Honey and orange peels.



  • Fresh mint and lemon

    On the back of each Healthy Steps Packaging
    you can also find a Healthy Steps recipe to
    go along with your new cooking tool to get you started!
    As well as ways to use it and helpful benefits!
