The holidays are a wonderful time to share the gift of health…. but finding that great gift can sometimes be a bit of a challenge.
In hopes of reducing your stress this holiday season, I’ve made a list of my favorite healthy, useful and tasty gift ideas. This is a great way to share your healthy lifestyle with your friends and family… or maybe add to your own wish list.
Healthy Kitchen Gifts
Kettle & Fire Bone Broth
Besides being delicious, bone broth is superfood that helps heal leaky gut and improve the appearance of your skin. Win!
Bone broth is rich in minerals and gelatin that allows your body to heal your intestinal lining, balance the immune system and give your hair, skin and nails and gorgeous appearance.
Kettle and Fire uses 100% grass-fed, organic and pasture-grazed marrow ones from cows, along with organic vegetables, salt and herbs to create a delicious and healing broth.

Butcher Box
Give the gift of grass-fed, high quality protein that gets delivered directly to your door. We’re talking organic, grass-fed/ finished, free range, and humanely-raised meat direct to you.
Choose from a variety of box options, including: Beef and Chicken Box, Beef and Pork Box or the Mixed Box, which has beef, chicken and pork. At only $129, this box provides at least 20 individual meals (5-8 oz portions), which is about $6.50 per meal for some of the highest quality meat on the market.
OMGhee Organic Cultured Ghee
Ghee is the purified essence of butter and is LOADED with omega 3 and omega 9 essential fatty acids, a great source of Vitamin A, D, E, and K, and it is also ideal for fighting against the destructive effects of free radicals!
When using ghee you will have the pure, delicious healthy fats of butter but no potential problems from lactose, whey, or casein. The fats found in ghee help stabilize blood sugar and are necessary for the body to make healthy hormones.

Kasandrinos Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil Bundle
If you’re looking for olive oil that is the real deal then look no further. The Kasandrinos family has got olive oil making dialed in and they take their work very seriously.
Their olives are hand picked in Greece from non-GMO trees that are a century old. The cold press their olive oil within 48 hours of harvest and then send it out for chemical analysis to ensure it is only of the highest quality.
Their olive oil not only tasted incredible, but it is also a rich source of vitamins and healthy fats to support your hormone health!

Thrive Market Membership
Thrive market carries a wide variety of healthy foods and toxin-free home supplies that they deliver straight to your door for up to half the cost of other retailers. It really is a steal!
I recommend Thrive Market to anyone who is short on time or just plain dreads grocery shopping, but still wants to eat health.
Right now you can get a FREE bottle of organic apple cider vinegar when you sign up for a free 30-day trial.
Berkey Water Filter
This is by far one of my most favorite healthy kitchen purchases every! It is a serious upgrade to the quality of water you are drinking and it hands down is better then filtered fridge water.
The Berkey uses a gravity purification system with carbon and fluoride filters this system filters out a large portion of chemicals and removes viruses, bacterial, chlorine, trihalomethanes, VOCs and a ton more.
I recommend the Royal Berkey if people plan on using their filtered water for cooking and this is what I keep in my home.

That’s where Muse comes in! Muse measures whether your mind is calm or active, and translates that data into weathers sounds. Muse helps gently guide your busy mind back to a state of calm should it start to wonder. After each session, review your data, set goals, and build a deeply rewarding meditation practice that gets better every time.
