    November 15, 2022 Updated: November 30, 2022 by Lisa Wells / 1 Comment

    This healthy food gift guide includes the best Christmas gifts for food lovers and healthy cooks. There's something for everyone on your holiday gift list - and these are great ideas for keto and paleo gifts!

    Philips Air Fryer gift


    Here's a holiday gift guide healthy lifestyle-friendly wish list items and kitchen essentials. These are perfect gifts for mom, dad, or anyone interested in clean eating - or to add to your own Christmas wish list. They're all tried and true items I reach for every day in my own kitchen.

    If you don't have any of these healthy kitchen tools, be sure to add them to your holiday shopping list. You never know - you may find a great deal on an Instant Pot or air fryer. Many of these kitchen appliances have the best prices of the year during the holiday shopping season from Black Friday to the after-Christmas sales.

    Healthy Food Gift Ideas

    The great thing about gifting healthy food is that these items tend to be high-quality items that are on everyone's favorite food list. From steak and lobster to wine to wild-caught smoked salmon to healthy snacks and other goodies, you'll find flavors in this list for everyone.

    Steaks on the grill

    Grass Fed Steak Surf and Turf

    Know someone who loves a good steak? ButcherBox is a great option for grass-fed beef (my husband loves the ribeye!) along with wild-caught Gulf shrimp, Maine lobster tails, free-range chicken and even turkey. There are plenty of choices from custom boxes to gift boxes. (Read my full ButcherBox review here.)

    Shop ButcherBox here.

    Clean Wine

    Clean Wines from Around the World

    Is there a wine lover on your list? Thrive Market offers a curated selection of clean, organic wines handpicked by a Master Sommelier. Create your own box or choose a selection of red, white or sparkling.

    This is a great gift idea for anyone who loves to cook. You can gift it as is, so they can record their favorite recipes - or fill in your favorites. It's perfect for passing on family recipes and memories!

    Wild Alaskan Salmon

    Catch Sitka Seafood - 2.5-lb Wild Alaskan Applewood Smoked Fish Gift Box - Holiday Shipping (Shipped the week of 12/13)

    Have a seafood lover on your list? Catch Sitka is a family run seafood company that specializes in wild hook and line-caught seafood from Sitka, Alaska. Their salmon, halibut, shrimp and other fish is all wild caught by the local fisher families.

    Everyone loves the smoked salmon so be sure to choose a gift box that includes a mix of different smoked and ready to cook fish (or a gift card so they can choose their own).

    Healthy Gift Basket Idea

    Looking for a DIY option? Put together a care package with seasonal fresh fruits like apples and pears or tropical dried pineapple, banana and mango. Add a homemade cranberry walnut trail mix,some dark chocolate and local honey to satisfy their sweet tooth cravings. A beeswax candle in a sweet oranges scent will complement the fruit theme and set a relaxing mood.
