Smart Substitution Suggestions

extra virgin olive oil→avocado oil

Avocado oil has a higher smoke point, making it more stable for high-heat roasting during meal prep.

Salt→herbamare or salt-free seasoning blend

Reducing sodium intake supports heart health and prevents water retention, which is beneficial for consistent meal prep nutrition.
