Smart Substitution Suggestions

vanilla protein powder→unflavored collagen peptides or plant-based protein powder with no added sugars

Many vanilla protein powders contain artificial sweeteners, gums, and added sugars that can impact blood sugar levels.

unsweetened almond milk→unsweetened hemp milk or flax milk

These alternatives often provide a better profile of omega-3 fatty acids and fewer additives compared to some commercial almond milks.
