Top 10 Gifts For Health Nuts

1. Vitamix Blender

For those veggie or fruit smoothie lovers – the Vitamix Blender will be their best friend. This blender’s popularity stems from the fact that it will crush anything. You don’t have to worry about throwing ice or frozen bananas in this blender, it LOVES to crush ice into smooth delicious beverages. It’s also great for making soups and are super easy to clean. Much easier to clean than a juicer. There are many models of the Vitamix brand. We recommend the Vitamix Professional 750 Series so that you are certain you get the heavy duty blending power. The cheaper non-professional Vitamix blenders are great blenders, but cannot handle frozen bananas like the 750 Pro series can.

2. Bluetooth Workout Headphones

What are the two most annoying things about going for a run? Having your keys jostle around in your pocket & constantly untangling your headphone cable so that your headphones don’t fall off.

Additional segments light up for every 15 minutes of inactivity. Just walk for a couple of minutes to reset.
