Cream Sauce recipes: Instead of cream and cheeses with butter, use 1 cup soy milk, 1 cup vegetable stock and pureed white beans. You will receive 25% of your daily intake of fiber and reduce calories.
Gravy: Ladel your favorite vegan sweet potato soup over your mashed potatoes. This adds much needed betacarotene to your diet, as well as boosting the nutrient content.
Pesto: Instead of using cheese, substitute avacado instead. This creamy, delicious addition will add vitamin E to your diet, as well as a boost of antioxidants.
Quick Breads: If you have any quick bread recipe that requires sour cream, add coconut milk instead. Coconut milk has half of the calories and fat of sour cream, and adds more flavor. I especially like using coconut milk in banana bread recipes!
Rice: Quinoa! Boost your antioxidant, iron, calcium,and protein intake with this one switch!
