We’ve put together our top four favourite appliances that every student should own to make life simple, easy and healthy…
🍏A High Speed Blender.
This one is at the top of the list for a reason… they’re really useful!
For students we recommend the Nutri Bullet 900W https://www.target.com.au/p/nutribullet-9-w-nb9-5-7/60081957
The best and most powerful blender for under $100, its the best money you will ever spend. They don’t take up much bench space, and super easy to clean. The recipes for healthy smoothies are endless, in fact Instagram is full of them, so you can get as creative as you like and if you have an early start then make it the night before, pop it in a mason jar and grab on your way out.
Here’s a great Brain Boosting Smoothie recipe to get you started

🍏An Electric Sandwich Press
The student mobile kitchen! Mostly likely you are familiar with these… You’ll find one in every common room or student home, so if you don’t have one, add it to your list.
We like the slightly large one for versatility so we’ve chosen The Breville Ikon https://www.binglee.com.au/products/breville-bsg540-ikon-4-slice-sandwich-press
You could make a sandwich for everyone or even a Quesadilla if you have a thing for Mexican food.
Get creative and toast sliced sweet potato, then top with smashed avocado, feta and chilli flakes.

🍏The Slow Cooker
Your new best friend in the kitchen…it does all your cooking while your busy studying and working.
You cannot get a meal wrong with this super affordable magic pot https://www.kmart.com.au/product/5l-slow-cooker-42744382/
When it’s cold outside and you get home after dark, there is nothing better than walking in the door to the smell of home made curry. One of the healthiest ways to cook, with not frying or extra oil required, the slow cooker traps all the nutrients in and slowly and tenderly cooks the meat to perfection. You literally throw everything in before you leave in the morning and 8 hours later it is ready to serve. Whip up a curry, lamb shanks, lamb shoulder, pull apart pork, chicken risotto…
Forget buying expensive cuts of meat, with this you do not need to, the slow cooking process gives you a tender meat that falls off the bone…delicious!
