Avocado Instead of Eggs and Butter

Substitute sliced avocado for cheese to create a sandwich that contains healthy fats instead of saturated fats. Avocados can also be used in baked goods by using 2 to 4 tablespoons of mashed avocado in place of each egg or trade an equal amount of butter for mashed avocado.

Greek Yogurt Instead of Mayonnaise or Sour Cream

This is one of my favorite substitutions. Greek yogurt is a smart replacement as it offers more protein than mayonnaise and sour cream. Try using one part mayonnaise to yogurt in tuna salad or pasta salad or if you’re feeling the greek yogurt, go full force.

Nutritional Yeast Instead of Parmesan Cheese

Nutritional yeast is a deactivated yeast that contains protein and B vitamins making it the perfect dairy-free alternative to parmesan cheese. Nutritional yeast still contains that salty cheesy flavor making it perfect for pestos or sprinkled on popcorn.
