Smart Substitution Suggestions
Wild blueberries contain significantly higher levels of antioxidants and anthocyanins compared to conventional strawberries.
Swapping half the banana for cauliflower reduces the glycemic impact and sugar content while maintaining a creamy texture.
Coconut water contains natural sugars that can spike blood glucose; unsweetened nut milks or water provide hydration without the caloric or sugar intake.
