Sometimes, due to allergies or other health concerns, common foods are off-limits. For those with sensitivities or strict dietary plans, fret not! Here are some substitutions that give you the taste you crave without the ingredients you can't ingest.
Instead of peanut butter, try sunflower butter
People with peanut allergies and other allergies that render nut butters unusable, sunflower butter is a great option. It has a hearty, nutty sweetness that goes well on bread or as a topping for bananas.
Instead of cheese, try nutritional yeast
It sounds a bit gross, but tastes great. It has a similar flavor, but is much healthier than cheese. Try sprinkling a tablespoon or two over some microwave popcorn.
Instead of sour cream, try plain yogurt
Plain yogurt has a tartness that is similar to the taste of sour cream. It also works to make foods just as creamy, but it's much healthier. Try using it in soups or mashed potato recipes that call for sour cream. You'll get the same flavor and way more health benefits.
