Smart Substitution Suggestions

gold potatoes→sweet potatoes

Sweet potatoes have a lower glycemic index and higher fiber and vitamin A content compared to gold potatoes, making them better for sustained energy during the workday.

olive oil→avocado oil or lemon vinaigrette

While olive oil is healthy, using a lemon vinaigrette or reducing the oil content can significantly lower the calorie density for better weight management in meal prep portions.
