Five Star Gift Ideas

If your grandson has an interest in nutrition, there are a plethora of gift ideas that could both encourage and further that interest. Here are a few suggestions:

1. Kitchen Tools: Cooking and meal prepping are great ways to learn about nutrition as well as develop healthy eating habits. Consider gifting your grandson some kitchen tools such as a blender or food processor to enable him to make smoothies, soups or sauces from fresh ingredients. Other possibilities include a cooking torch, electronic food scale, spiralizer or immersion blender.

2. Cookbooks: Cookbooks that focus on healthy eating could make an excellent gift for your grandson. There are a range of cookbooks featuring vegetarian, vegan or low-carb recipes, or cookbooks designed for athletes or fitness enthusiasts. You could also consider books on topics such as food science or nutrition, such as Michael Pollan's “Food rules”.

3. Fitness tracker: A fitness tracker could be a great way for your grandson to track his physical activity and monitor his progress as he works towards health and fitness goals. Many fitness trackers are also able to track nutritional intake, such as the FitBit Charge 3 or the Apple Watch, which can help him stay accountable and motivated.

4. Subscription to a meal delivery service: Meal delivery services such as Blue Apron, HelloFresh and Sun Basket allow individuals to choose from a range of healthy meals each week that can be delivered straight to their doorstep. This could be a great gift for your grandson if he has a busy schedule or is just starting out on his nutrition journey.

5. Personalized nutrition plan: For a more personalized gift, you could consider consulting with a registered dietitian to create a customized nutrition plan for your grandson. This would give him the opportunity to learn more about his unique nutritional needs and develop a plan that works best for him.

Overall, there are many gift options that can support your grandson's interest in nutrition, and which can also help him to begin developing healthy habits that will serve him well throughout his life.
