Beans: Chickpeas, Cannellini Beans
- Beans can be used for soups, stews, and sauces after being pureed which are guaranteed nut-free and dairy-free. They are all potent sources of soluble fiber and adding them to your soups, salads, and sauces will make sure you have a lot of soluble fiber in your daily diet!

Avocado in place of Mayo
- Avocados are a rich in potassium, B vitamins, fiber as well as antioxidants aside from being super creamy.
Ghee
- Ghee is actually clarified butter with many of the milk fats, sugar and lactose removed. Use ghee in place of your butter for people who want to go dairy-free!
