Fridge Facts from Guy's Grocery Games: Healthy Substitutes

Turn an ordinary meal into a healthier one with these simple substitutions.

Chia Seeds

Try this if you are out of eggs or trying to get more omega-3s into your diet.

Applesauce

This works best in quick breads (like banana bread, zucchini bread or pumpkin bread) and muffins.

Nuts

Just as much crunch and a little more protein.

Dates

This substitution gives you a nutty, deep sweetness and one-third the calories.

Zucchini 

You can even substitute shredded zucchini for half the spaghetti in a dish.

Chicken Stock

Less fat and a little more protein.
