9 Double-Duty Health Tools
1. Smart Sips
Making the perfect cup of matcha may seem difficult — until you use David’s Tea The Matcha Maker Mint. Simply scoop the powered green tea into the mug, add hot water and shake. The attached sifter has a tiny ball that helps disperse the powder and create that coveted foam, without a whisk. (Try using it with your favorite protein powder, too, for a blend that’s less lumpy.) What’s more: When you want a cup of regular tea, just switch out the matcha top for a typical lose-leaf diffuser. Voilà, all your antioxidant-rich tea needs, resolved. ($35, davidstea.com)
2. Get Fired Up
The Evolve Grill System will take you from a morning plate of protein-packed waffles to a dinner with delicious grilled chicken, personal pizza pies, quesadillas or crepes — all thanks to the removable, versatile plates. You can adjust the slope of the pan too: Tilt it more to allow the excess fat on meats to drip off or keep it flat for baking. ($140, georgeforemancooking.com)
3. At Full Stretch
With a detachable wallet to store your essentials, Asic’s ASX Multi-Purpose Strap lets you pack light on your next trip to the yoga studio. The strap doesn’t just tote your mat, either. It’s made of a soft material so you can also use it to deepen your stretches during class too. ($25, asics.com)

4. Here Come the Water Works
Making homemade lemonade just got infinitely easier! This Flavor Infusing Carafe comes with a citrus reamer and built-in strainer so you can add fresh lemon, lime or orange juice, sans pulp and seeds. You also get a muddler to kick up your drink with pressed mint or berries. In other words, goodbye boring beverages; hello zesty water, seltzer or low-cal cocktail. ($40, uncommongoods.com)
5. Slice it Right
Forget the mess of chopping veggies or cheese. The Clever Cutter 2-in-1 Knife and Cutting Board makes cutting carrots, herbs, celery, and cheddar a cinch, courtesy of its scissor-like handle and the built-in board. Slice and toss those toppings right into a serving plate, a big salad or pasta bowl. ($15, bedbathandbeyond.com)
6. Wick the Bugs Off
Thanks to the Nobitech Women’s Short Sleeve V-Neck Tee, you don’t have to forgo your outdoor run to avoid pesky mosquitos. The moisture-wicking shirt features Skintex permethrin technology — a synthetic form of bug repellent. The clothing line also includes pants and long-sleeve tops for days you want to cover up from head to toe. ($25, nobitech.us)

7. Renaissance Chef
This gadget goes way beyond double-duty. The T-Fal 7-in-1 Multi-Cooker and Deep Fryer will help you cook any meal by moving a simple lever that controls the temperature in the pot. Whether you want to braise, sauté, simmer, brown, deep fry, boil pasta or just keep a dish warm for a party, this machine meets all your dinner needs. ($120, lordandtaylor.com)
8. Camp ‘n Cook
Just because you’re hiking and camping, doesn’t mean you can’t have a healthy home-cooked meal. That is, as long as you have the BioLite CampStove Bundle. It comes with a kettle pot to boil water and a portable grill for roasting some tasty skewers. Plus, by lighting the canister, you even get power to charge your phone so you can look up yummy recipes. (We suggest these foil packet ideas.) ($200, biolite.com)
9. Mix Master
Get your extra jolt in the morning or add some zing to your favorite dish with the Krups Fast Touch Grinder. From fresh herbs to nuts to coffee beans, it finely chops all of your go-to ingredients with the press of a button. And for caffeine lovers, it can make up to 15 cups worth of ready-to-brew coffee — but try to avoid drinking that all at once. ($20, macys.com)
