From the Strip to spotlights, a Vegas capsule wardrobe lets you pack lighter while staying ready for every occasion Sin City throws your way. When Vegas-bound, we always start with a foundation of five to seven core pieces that transition from day to night as smoothly as a desert sunset.
Our Vegas capsule essentials include:
<ul>
<li>Silky slip dress (think little black dress or something shimmery and metallic)</li>
<li>Tailored jacket or blazer</li>
<li>Relaxed trousers or chic pants</li>
<li>Versatile lightweight top</li>
<li>Comfortable heels and stylish flat sandals</li>
</ul>
These pieces hit the jackpot for creating a versatile rotation of looks you can mix and match across every Vegas adventure. Picture this: your jacket and slip dress combo takes you seamlessly from mimosa brunch to shopping on Fremont Street, while the slip dress solo becomes your go-to for catching a Cirque du Soleil show or club hopping on The Strip. Your chic top paired with those relaxed trousers? Perfect for wandering through the Bellagio Conservatory &amp; Botanical Gardens or exploring the Las Vegas Arts District.
Our <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/articles/travel-capsule-wardrobe" target="_self"><ins>Travel Capsule Wardrobe Guide</ins></a> offers the perfect foundation for customizing your Vegas wardrobe strategy. Once you've nailed your core items, it's time for the fun part—mixing in pieces that capture the city's bold energy. Think sequins, statement accessories, and a touch of glamour that goes beyond your everyday staples.
Ready to see these capsule pieces in action? Let's break down the outfits that'll have you looking like a Vegas insider from sunrise to last call.&nbsp;

What to Wear in Vegas: Your Capsule Wardrobe Guide

Exquise The Tobie Mini Shirt Dress

Castaner Carina Espadrille

Steve Madden BIGMONA Platform Sandal

Free People Strada Embroidered Set

For a look that takes you from a mimosa brunch by the pool to a mall like Fashion Show Las Vegas or Miracle Mile Shops, choose breathable fabrics like linen and cotton for daytime comfort in the Vegas heat. We love a coordinated set or romper for a neat, monotone look that's polished and easy—or try a <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/collections/tiered-and-peasant-dresses" target="_self"><ins>tiered or peasant dress</ins></a> for a more whimsical tilt. Punctuate your breezy look with comfy sneakers or supportive <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/top-10-list/best-comfortable-stylish-walking-sandals" target="_self"><ins>walking sandals</ins></a>, lightweight crossbody bags, and oversized sunglasses that hide all your Vegas secrets. Pack along a lightweight cardigan or denim jacket for the indoor A/C that's blasting all over The Strip.

Daytime Shopping and Brunch Attire

SPANX Plunge Bikini Top

Lands' End Cotton Open Knit Maxi Swim Cover-Up Skirt

BIRKENSTOCK Arizona Eva Sandal

Calpak Terra 35L Water Resistant Zippered Tote Bag

Pass the oversized beach ball and sip from your poolside cocktail—we're showing you how to dress for a pool party at your hotel. Vegas is the place for statement swimwear with runway vibes—think cutouts, bold neon colors, metallics, or designer-inspired and <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/collections/trending-swimwear-at-amazon" target="_self"><ins>trending swimsuits</ins></a>. A cover-up sarong, crochet dress, or oversized "boyfriend" button-down shirt all work great when you're dancing by the DJ booth at that luxury resort you booked with an <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/deals/expedia-coupon" target="_self"><ins>Expedia coupon code</ins></a>. Be sensible with a wide-brim hat, waterproof bag, and statement sunglasses.
For poolside footwear, focus on stylish flat sandals or slides with enough to grip to stay grounded on slippery pool decks. The end game here is finding comfortable, showoff-worthy pieces for your Instagram squares that feel natural and flattering in person.

Pool Party at the Hotel Look

Michael Kors Metallic Paisley Lace Mini Dress

Steve Madden CARY Square-Toe Strappy Mule Heel

Reformation Maize Platform Sandal

Lulus Sparkly Darling Sequin Long Sleeve Wrap Dress

Outfits for Vegas nightlife can be as classic or over-the-top as your heart desires. A stylish statement dress is the unofficial uniform of the Vegas weekend. We personally never turn down the opportunity to go all out with a sequined dress, metallic romper, or silky slip dress with classic tailoring at the sleeves and hemlines—think a silhouette you could wear to the office paired with New Year's Eve fabrics as a mental picture. Our rule is that comfort and glam need to even out. Your standout piece should allow you to move—and breathe—in hot, crowded Vegas venues.
Definitely play up the glamour with gold statement earrings, layered jewelry, and a sparkly clutch. If you do makeup, this is the time to load some smoky-eye tutorials and splurge on metallic shadows and shimmery highlighters. For shoes, we like a platform or block heel to elevate the whole look. With The Strip covering just over 4 miles, you'll want to have shoes that are comfy enough for walking when you're not jumping into Ubers. (Image credit: <a href="https://l.instagram.com/?u=https%3A%2F%2Flinktr.ee%2Fleahjanae%3Ffbclid%3DPAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAafscF2XpaT_cQpbwUd8YB0n9GvsMlcclPNxOPQIlEadcpVlN2bKv4lwAGab-Q_aem_BzCeS3n7PbjfDD3e2eMc5A&e=AT0A3jS4-ujCsbVr-mPGjw7dG4pjNyBOQgKyfNDs4C29mGbBpZxJheY-YG1OdQjsialqbeDsAkJLrRcxE9yLPp0MkC2l_kthvhr4aSs" target="_self">@leahjanae</a>)

Vegas Club Outfits

Reformation Woodson Dress

Steve Madden Sirus Jacket

Madewell The Dessa Toe Ring Sandal

Lulus Enticing Endeavors Jumpsuit

Make the most of Vegas without being a big spender—or big suitcase packer—with dressy-casual staples like chic jumpsuits, <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/collections/dresses-on-anthropologie" target="_self"><ins>dresses on Anthropologie</ins></a>, and tailored blazers. While Vegas casinos don't have dress codes, clothes definitely talk—and dressing up is one way to convince them you're a VIP instead of letting on that you're a savvy traveler who booked the trip on a dime with a <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/deals/priceline-promo-code" target="_self"><ins>Priceline coupon code</ins></a>. Shoes like chic flats or subtle wedges that balance style and comfort save your feet as you put in steps on sprawling casino carpets.
Dinners or shows call for "fancy" and elevated Las Vegas attire for women. That could mean anything from a special night-out dress to <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/top-10-list/best-dressy-joggers-for-women" target="_self"><ins>dressy joggers</ins></a> under a tank top you pull from your capsule wardrobe. (Image credit: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/sugestahandayanii/" target="_self">@sugestahandayanii</a>)

Casino & Dinner Outfits

Michael Kors Ginny Leather Crossbody Bag

Michael Kors Biarritz Sunglasses

Free People Arrow Woven Packable Hat

Acrylic Chunky Bangle Bracelet

A capsule wardrobe leaves plenty of space for accessories to tuck in between Las Vegas outfits. Starting with the practical, <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/top-10-list/best-mini-crossbody-bags" target="_self"><ins>mini crossbody bags</ins></a> and fanny packs are perfect for casinos and shopping. For daytime lounging, we like a canvas or cotton pool tote that lies flat inside a suitcase to take up no space. Glossy clutch purses are made for Las Vegas nights when your glam factor turns up to a ten. Belts, layered necklaces, and chandelier earrings are also fun, space-saving ways to glam up your outfits.&nbsp;

Vegas Accessories That Make the Outfit

Leave the big gamble for the blackjack table on this vacation—dressing well in Las Vegas is always a sure thing when you have a Vegas capsule wardrobe. Vegas getaways mean daytime pool parties at your resort, casino hopping, nightclubs, live performances—and maybe even a must-experience pool party at Encore Beach Club. With a suitcase that can only hold so much, there's a fear that you'll feel out of place if you don't have all the right looks for every scenario Sin City offers.
The Rank &amp; Style team has made the Vegas journey a time or two. In addition to understanding the lay of the land, we’ve gathered our data-backed recommendations to help you put together outfits that actually work in real life—even when real life is a dream weekend spent cutting loose on the Las Vegas Strip or lounging by the pool at the Bellagio. Our Vegas-approved outfit ideas, dressing for Vegas-weather break down, packing list, and expert-backed recommendations will leave you with a manageable suitcase. Hey fashion high roller, let's pack some clothing for Las Vegas. (Image credit: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/bekylein/" target="_blank">@bekylein</a>)

Your Ultimate Guide Best Sales and Can't-Miss Deals of the Week

Rank & Style's Sale Guide

Tired of greasy, unhealthy fast food but don't have the energy to cook from scratch every night? Factor might just be your solution. This meal delivery service brings chef-prepared, dietitian-approved meals straight to your door—no cooking required. We're impressed by how they've managed to combine convenience with premium quality meals that actually taste good and meet your nutritional goals. If you're thinking about giving Factor a shot, this guide breaks down everything you need to know about their meal plans and menu options.
<h2>What Is Factor?</h2>
Factor is a ready-to-eat meal delivery service that takes the guesswork out of healthy eating. Their trained chefs prepare every meal using fresh, premium ingredients, while registered dietitians ensure each dish delivers optimal nutrition. This winning combination has made Factor the leading ready-made meal company in the U.S. by market share—and for good reason.
You might recognize Factor from its previous name, Factor 75. Founded in 2013 in Batavia, Illinois, by Mike Apostal and Nick Wernimont, the company simplified its branding when HelloFresh acquired it in 2020. But their core mission remains unchanged: since 75% of your performance comes from nutrition, Factor wants to help you make that 75% count.
<h2>How Factor Works</h2>
What's it like to order from Factor? The company's meal delivery process is fast and easy.&nbsp;
Here’s how it works:
<ol>
<li>Choose your menu type: Factor lets you customize your meal plan based on your fitness goals. You can choose from six styles, including keto, high protein, and low calorie.</li>
<li>Pick your meals: Factor will give you a selection of meals that fit your menu type, and then you get to order whatever you like. It has over 90 meals to choose from.</li>
<li>Get your delivery: Factor will send your food straight to your door in a recyclable, insulated box. All meals come with heating instructions and are ready to eat within two minutes.</li>
</ol>
The best part? Factor's meal plans are commitment-free. You can order just a day or two worth of meals to test them out, or stock up with weeks of food if you prefer buying in bulk. Multi-week subscribers can pause or modify their plans anytime, as long as they meet the cutoff deadlines.
<h2>What Does Factor Offer?</h2>
Factor's strength lies in its variety. They currently offer six distinct menu types: Keto, Calorie Smart, High Protein, Vegan + Veggie, Flexitarian, and GLP-1 Balance. With over 90 meals and 65+ add-ons like snacks and protein shakes, there's something for every taste and dietary preference.
Every meal uses fresh, never-frozen ingredients that stay good for up to seven days in your fridge. The convenience factor is unmatched—just heat and eat in under two minutes. As a bonus, all packaging is recyclable, making Factor a win for both your health and the environment.
<h2>The Best of Factor: Most Popular Plans and Meals</h2>
While Factor's entire menu gets consistently positive reviews, certain options have developed cult followings. The most popular <a href="https://www.jdoqocy.com/click-7170081-17129056" target="_self">Factor subscription choice</a> is their 6-18 meals per week plan, which offers solid discounts and eliminates daily cooking stress.
The add-ons deserve special mention—they're perfect for quick breakfasts or healthy snacks.&nbsp;

<h2>The Factor Story</h2>
Factor's journey began in 2013 when former wrestling coach Nick Wernimont wanted to create a meal delivery system specifically for athletes The brand's focus on improving performance through food spoke to many people, but initially, it struggled to operate efficiently. 
This changed when Kellogg business alum Mike Apostal took on Factor as his next project. His experience as a project manager helped Factor expand its network beyond just athletes. By combining their unique areas of expertise, Wernimont and Apostal revolutionized the food delivery service. With extra funding from HelloFresh in 2020, the brand has become the leading ready-made food delivery company in the nation. Its health-focused perspective and focus on quality have resulted in thousands of devoted users. 
<h2>How Much Does Factor Cost?</h2>
Factor's pricing sits in the sweet spot between cooking at home and dining out. While it costs more than making meals from scratch, it's significantly less than restaurant quality meals—and you get to eat at home without any prep work. The average Factor meal runs about $13.
Pricing varies based on your meal plan, ranging from $11 to $17 per meal. The more you order, the better your per-meal rate.&nbsp;
For example:
<ul>
<li>4 meals per week: $68 ($17 per meal)</li>
<li>36 meals: $450 ($12 per meal)</li>
</ul>

Add-ons like shakes, supplements, and snacks cost around $10 individually, but Factor's bundles can bring that down to about $5 per item. This makes specialty items like Daily Greens or Hydration Boost much more affordable.

Factor Essentials: The Busy Person’s Shortcut to Wellness With Style

J.Crew Perfect Raincoat

VIVAIA Riley Pro Water Repellent Ankle Boots

Traveling to Europe in the spring requires adaptability. Prepare for the infamous European false spring with a rain-resistant <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/articles/spring-capsule-wardrobe" target="_self"><ins>spring capsule wardrobe</ins></a>. With average temperatures ranging from 45 degrees to 70 degrees Fahrenheit with frequent rain, your best friend is a lightweight waterproof trench (think Burberry style). We also like cashmere cardigans and ankle boots with good tread in neutral colors.
While spring can be quiet in most major European cities, any city with big cathedrals will draw Easter crowds that can make waiting times longer at some attractions. Snag a great lightweight scarf for quick around-the-shoulders coverage for everything from impromptu cathedral visits to chilly nights.

Spring Capsule: Key Outerwear & Layering Pieces

Allbirds Tree Glider

Quince 100% European Linen Corset Midi Dress

Sightseeing, dining, and being altogether glamorous in the European summer heat means wearing breathable, versatile pieces. Summertime temps throughout Europe range from 65 to 85 degrees, with higher humidity in cities and packed-in-like-sardines attractions. Play it cool with linen dresses, breathable tops, and <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/top-10-list/best-comfortable-stylish-walking-sandals" target="_self"><ins>comfortable walking sandals</ins></a>.&nbsp;
With long daylight hours, walking tours, and outdoor dining culture being the hallmarks of European summer travel, day-to-night transition pieces are everything. For smart, museum-ready to bar-ready looks, we love a linen shirt dress with a belt. There's also a breathable silk or cotton blouse over linen pants for more coverage. Don't forget a wide-brim sun hat for a donna raffinata look.
To keep up with 15,000+ daily steps when sightseeing without losing your cool, choose <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/top-10-list/best-comfortable-walking-shoes" target="_self"><ins>comfortable walking shoes</ins></a>—preferably with arch support or memory foam. Black shoes fit the Euro aesthetic best. (Image credit: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/helenchikx/" target="_self">@helenchikx</a>)

Summer Capsule: Lightweight Staples That Stay Chic

Quince 100% Washable Silk Skirt

Everlane The Cocoon Crew

Europe in the fall means temperatures between 40 and 65 degrees with increased rainfall, but that doesn't have to throw your capsule plan into a tailspin. This is where essential pieces like mid-weight blazers, layerable knits, and waterproof footwear earn their spots in your luggage. In our experience, building a little extra room in a suitcase for richer fabrics like wool blends and suede accents pays off: bonus points if you can find a stunning wool-blend blazer or lightweight <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/collections/trending-long-wool-coats" target="_self"><ins>long wool coat</ins></a>.&nbsp;
We also adore deeper colors to reflect the shorter days, cozier indoor venues, and harvest-centric spirit permeating European culture during this season. For a flawless city look, don turtleneck sweaters in Merino wool over midi skirts with slightly heavier fabric. Can you picture the look bringing you from a jaunt through a public garden to drinks at a European cafe? If so, it belongs in your suitcase.

Fall Capsule: Transitional Pieces That Travel Well

Quince Lightweight Down Packable Long Puffer Jacket

UNIQLO HEATTECH Ultra Warm Leggings

Close your eyes to picture vibrant outdoor winter markets and public squares dusted in the lightest snow as you prepare to dress for European temperatures around 25 to 50 degrees. The challenge here is keeping your body and extremities toasty while prioritizing European urban sophistication. Let's make sure we're not dressing to ski in the Alps unless we're actually skiing in the Alps.
Our wardrobe-making piece for wintertime European travel is a great packable down coat. While any neutral tone works, we personally love a white coat for holiday-time market shopping. We also lean on a thermal layering strategy that uses a base layer, insulation, and outer shell in a compressible, packable material. Jokes about looking like you're skiing aside, ski jackets with removable layers are actually perfect for going back and forth between heated outdoor spaces and Christmas markets without overheating.
With limited daylight, we also recommend choosing time-neutral looks that are versatile enough for daytime sightseeing and nights out. Make dresses winter-ready by pairing them with pant-like thermal leggings and waterproof winter boots with traction. For that magic style moment, find a gorgeous cashmere scarf and hat to wear with a <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/collections/trending-winter-coats" target="_self"><ins>winter coat</ins></a> everywhere you go.

Your <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/top-10-list/best-luggage-sets" target="_self"><ins>luggage</ins></a> choice can make or break your European getaway.&nbsp;
<h3>Train Travel Realities</h3>
European trains feature limited overhead compartments and quick boarding windows. Backpacks excel here—they squeeze into tight spaces and allow swift movement through crowded platforms. Rolling suitcases work for high-speed trains with dedicated luggage areas but struggle on regional routes.
<h3>Accommodation Considerations</h3>
Hostel stays favor backpacks for navigating narrow staircases and shared dormitory spaces. Luxury hotels welcome rolling suitcases that project sophisticated traveler status. Airbnb properties vary wildly—research your specific location's accessibility before deciding.
<h3>Urban Navigation</h3>
Budget airline restrictions often call for soft-sided luggage or backpacks that maximize packing space. Metro systems with extensive stairs are a challenge for wheeled luggage, while cobblestone streets can destroy suitcase wheels. Consider your primary transportation mode when choosing.
<h3>Which Is Best?</h3>
<ul>
<li>Backpacks: Perfect for hostel-hopping, frequent city changes, and train-heavy itineraries. Check out our best backpacks for travel-tested options.</li>
<li>Rolling suitcases: Ideal for business travel, longer stays, and car rental trips</li>
<li>Hybrid options: Wheeled backpacks and convertible luggage offer versatility for mixed-transportation itineraries</li>
</ul>
Choose based on your travel style, not just convenience—your luggage becomes part of your European travel experience.

Backpack vs. Suitcase: Choosing the Right Luggage for European Travel

You're about to have your Euro vacation moment. The only problem is that your suitcase isn't nearly as big as your vision for what you'll be wearing during the trip. Rather than spending a fortune on checked-bag fees that might total the GDP of the country you're visiting, pack smarter and sleeker using mix-and-match pieces. Plus, there's nothing better than gliding from the airport to your car or hotel in every city you visit without excess luggage dragging you down.
At Rank &amp; Style, we live by the philosophy that passports should be well-worn, but vacation clothes should never be wrinkled. Our editors have perfected the European packing playbook, and in this comprehensive 2025 guide, we're sharing how to skip packing anxiety entirely. You'll learn to curate versatile pieces that transition seamlessly across Europe's diverse climates while helping you blend in like a sophisticated local.
This isn't your typical packing list of basic travel staples—we're delivering a strategic, season-specific capsule breakdown that eliminates guesswork. Master our "pack less, wear more" philosophy and achieve effortlessly chic looks whether you're navigating Parisian metro stations, strolling Florence's cobblestone streets, or watching sunsets over Santorini's whitewashed cliffs.

<h2>Why a Capsule Wardrobe Beats a Heavy Suitcase</h2>

It also lets you leave decision-making fatigue behind on vacation—go ahead and turn your mind off after you book your trip (on discount with our <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/deals/expedia-coupon" target="_self">Expedia coupon codes</a>).&nbsp;&nbsp;
Navigating Europe's iconic cities means maneuvering yourself and your luggage through airport security, bustling train stations, and endless cobblestone streets. Smart capsule packers understand that 10 strategically chosen pieces can create 30+ stunning outfit combinations.
<h2>How to Choose the Right Season-Specific Fabrics for Europe</h2>
European climates range from chilly and crispy to pure Mediterranean, and that puts a big demand on your suitcase skills. Whether you're visiting for tourist season or simply taking advantage of <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/deals/booking-com-promo-code" target="_self">Booking.com deals</a>, when the time is right, these are our favorite tips for a Europe packing list by season:
<ul>
<li>Spring and Summer Essentials: European mornings often start cool before afternoon temperature spikes, making <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/articles/best-breathable-fabric-for-hot-weather" target="_self">linen-cotton blends</a> ideal for their coverage and breathability while maintaining a polished appearance. Prioritize structured weaves that offer movement and moisture-wicking synthetics that keep you comfortable during long sightseeing days.</li>
<li>Fall and Winter Foundations: Invest in quality Merino wool sweaters and cashmere blends for superior layering capabilities. These natural fibers regulate temperature while packing compactly.</li>
<li>Year-Round Winners: Prioritize wrinkle-resistant materials and quick-dry options. A packable down jacket provides versatile warmth without bulk.</li>
</ul>
Always consider temperature fluctuations, sudden rain showers, and varying indoor heating when selecting fabrics.

Kids' clothes shopping has honestly never been better than it is right now. Sure, little ones have this amazing talent for finding the one puddle in a five-mile radius or turning snack time into an abstract art project on their shirts, but that's just part of the fun, right? The exciting part is that some truly brilliant brands have figured out how to make clothes that keep up with all that adventure.
We're talking about the best baby clothes that actually celebrate childhood–pieces that survive growth spurts, embrace playground exploration, and work perfectly for that adorable phase where everything must be worn backwards because "that's how superheroes do it." These brands get that kids should be kids, and their clothes should support that mission.
The transformation in children's fashion has been incredible to watch. Baby clothing brands have stepped up their game in amazing ways, creating pieces that move with wiggly bodies, feel soft against sensitive skin, and look absolutely adorable while doing it. They've figured out that parents want clothes that work for real life–not just those picture-perfect moments we post online.
We dug through thousands of reviews from actual parents, tracked down which pieces people actually buy again, and figured out which children's wear brands consistently deliver what they promise.&nbsp;

Meal: Dessert
Zucchini bread represents ultimate stealth health food—it tastes like dessert while actually containing vegetables and can incorporate whole grain flours and natural sweeteners.
<h3>The Vegetable Victory&nbsp;</h3>
It freezes beautifully, allowing advance slicing and portioning. Plus, it's acceptable for breakfast, snacks, or dessert consumption.

Meal prep success isn't about fancy gadgets, but a few smart purchases will absolutely revolutionize your Sunday prep sessions. We're talking game-changing efficiency here.
<h3>Glass Storage Containers&nbsp;</h3>
Plastic is basically the enemy of good meal prep. Glass containers don't absorb that lingering garlic smell or turn permanently orange from tomato sauce. Plus, you can actually reheat food without worrying about mystery chemicals seeping in. Sure, they cost more upfront, but they will last for years, unlike plastic ones. Find stackable ones and suddenly your fridge organization game becomes legendary.
<h3>Mason Jars&nbsp;</h3>
These aren't just for Pinterest photos. Mason jars work brilliantly for salad layering (dressing stays at the bottom where it belongs), overnight oats that won't turn into mush, and smoothie ingredient storage that prevents freezer burn. Wide-mouth versions make your life easier—trust us on this one.
<h3>Quality Chef's Knife&nbsp;</h3>
Here's the thing about knives: one incredible blade trumps an entire block of mediocre ones. A properly sharp knife takes vegetable chopping from tedious to oddly satisfying. We're talking about cutting your prep time in half while actually enjoying the process. Invest once, use forever.
<h3>Large Sheet Pans&nbsp;</h3>
Good sheet pans don't buckle when you crank the oven to 425°F. Cheap ones turn into potato chips and cook everything unevenly. The raised edges aren't just decorative—they keep all those delicious roasted vegetable juices from dripping onto your oven floor. Buy two decent ones, and you can roast proteins and veggies at the same time instead of playing musical ovens.
<h3>Stand Mixer&nbsp;</h3>
Ever tried mixing a double batch of meatballs by hand? Your arms will hate you. A KitchenAid mixer handles the heavy lifting for protein muffins, energy bars, and those massive overnight oat batches that last all week. The investment pays off due to the sheer ease of use and time saved, but you can soften the financial blow when you buy your Kitchenaid mixer at a discount.
<h3>Food Processor&nbsp;</h3>
Food processors turn vegetable chopping from a 20-minute chore into a 30-second task. They also make ridiculously smooth sauces and dressings that would take forever to achieve by hand. While there are endless options to choose from, we’re a big fan of Vitamix. We use ours constantly for homemade nut butters, energy ball bases, and soup purees. Honestly, the time savings on repetitive tasks alone makes it worth the counter space.
<h3>Slow Cooker or Instant Pot&nbsp;</h3>
The ultimate lazy cook's secret weapon. Toss everything in before work, come home to incredible smells. Slow cookers make stews so tender they fall apart with a fork. Instant Pots take forever-cooking items like beans and tough meat and make them dinner-ready in under an hour.
