Day 1 - Get Rid Of That Sugar!

A Few Ideas

When cooking, the following are some alternatives to consider:

• milk - nut milk, coconut milk
• butter - olive oil, coconut oil, and to a lesser extent, bacon fat
• yogurt - coconut milk
• sour cream - chilled coconut milk with a few drops of lemon juice
• whipped cream - chilled coconut milk that has been sitting in the fridge for a couple of days uncovered (option - add zest from lemon or orange)
