Smart Substitution Suggestions

2 tbsp balsamic vinegar→2 tbsp apple cider vinegar with the mother

Balsamic vinegars often contain added sugars or caramel color, while apple cider vinegar provides probiotic benefits and supports blood sugar regulation.

1 tbsp olive oil→1 tbsp avocado oil

Avocado oil has a higher smoke point and a better fatty acid profile for high-heat cooking like searing chicken breasts.
