Come on…a Keto Gift Guide?!
Well- more of a kitchen lover’s gift guide. I’ve complied a list of my FAVORITE kitchen items. Items I can’t live without, that make my life easier, or get my kiddos to eat!
Use these ideas for those who love working in the kitchen, or pass them along to family as items you could use as a gift! I’m always struggling with ideas of what I’d like for the holidays.
In full disclosure: these listings include links to purchase using my affiliate links. I do make a small commission on items purchased through these links. It doesn’t change the cost of the item for you, but it helps support the time I put into creating content (like this list) for you!

Keto/Low Carb ice cream is EXPENSIVE. I have loved experimenting with different flavors (both dairy and non-dairy varieties), and I couldn’t have done it without the help of this Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker. It keeps air moving through the ice cream mixture as it freezes keeping it light and scoop-able. I also recommend a second bowl for it if you have the freezer space. It comes in handy during the summer when you’ll want to have a cool treat on hand (or two different flavors!).
The Ellie’s Best Bigger Better Nut Milk Bag: I use this for my low carb yogurt recipe and to help get the liquid out of the steamable cauliflower when making cauliflower tots. It’s also AWESOME in the summer to make large pitchers of cold brew coffee! Two cups of coffee in a gallon pitcher equals a whole week of coffee for me. Use code: MNKetoMom for a 10% discount on your purchase.
On the topic of yogurt: these pouches are the best for portion control, easy freezing (just don’t overfill!), and clean eating for the littles. The side zip makes for easy sealing and cleaning.
Bean Envy makes the best milk frother. I use mine daily to mix in collagen and MCT oil powder into my coffee. Also works great for mixing up the kids chocolate almond milk.
This little tool has made browning ground beef so much easier. I never thought I would need it, but now use it multiple times a week. The x pattern makes it so easy to break up the meat. Would make a great stocking stuffer!
These are a MUST for my kitchen. Mostly because I hate cleaning pans. They are great for under cookies, cauliflower tots, low carb bread sticks, and most importantly better than fathead pizza! Don’t cut on them as I learned that one the hard way.
Perfectly even portions for cookies is a must when calculating macros (or keeping your kids from fighting over who had the biggest one). I also use this for making my cauliflower tots! They make a larger size that word well for muffins or cupcakes.
Speaking of muffins- these are a no brainier must have. Saves the environment and your muffins, cupcakes, or egg bites come out looking perfect!
Cookbooks are a great gift for beginners or keto pros. Its always great to have new ideas. Here are a couple of my favorites.
The Kitchen Aid Mixer is one of my most used items, and partially due to these attachments. First the Vegetable Sheet Cutter: Great for cutting sheets of zucchini for sandwich roll ups, enchilada shells, or lasagna noodles. It’s a quick way to get more veggies into your diet in unexpected ways. Even the kids will be fooled. Second, this slicer/shredder attachment has paid for itself just for the cheese shredding!! Preshredded cheese contains additives that keep it from clumping. Sadly, those additives are carbs. We buy the 2 pound blocks of cheese at Sam’s and use this baby to shred it into a ziplock bag. From there, stick in the fridge if you use it as fast as we do, or split it up and freeze what you won’t use in time.
I HATE overcooked steaks and roasts. I invested in the Anova Sous Vide, and I haven’t had a problem since! Just season your meat, vacuum pack ( I use this: Food Saver), put into pan with water and set the temp. Once it is ready, I sear it off in my cast iron pan. The app is super helpful to keep track of time, and it has a lot of recipes and tips for you.
When it comes to the cast iron pan I use to sear, I only trust Lodge. I’ve had cheaper ones, but they aren’t anywhere close to the quality of these. I use this pan every single day. Even with a full set of All Clad pans, this is my go to. I’ve ready (with probably no science behind it) that cast iron can help to infuse iron into your food which is great if you have low iron like yours truly.
These silicone egg bite molds are a great gift idea for anyone with an instant pot. Just blend up eggs and cream cheese (trust me!) then add in your extras. We like cheddar and bacon, but ham or sausage (or all three) would be great too. Pop them into the instant pot for a 10 min pressure cook and you’ve got breakfast. Two stacked will fit in mine, so I make extras to toss in the fridge. I love a good meal prep item.
