 Swap low-fat cow’s milk for almond milk and save sixty calories per cup and gain 1½ grams of monounsaturated fat per cup (from the almonds)!

 Swap whole milk or 2 percent milk for 1 percent milk or skim milk to reduce the calories and fat in a recipe.

 Swap buttermilk for the same amount of low-fat milk plus one tablespoon of vinegar.

 Swap heavy cream for cashew cream, which is loaded with heart-healthy unsaturated fat instead of saturated fat. Soak one cup of raw cashews overnight (or for at least thirty minutes), drain most of the water, reserving it, and blend the cashews in a blender until creamy, adding a teaspoon of the reserved water at a time, if needed. Stir the cashew cream into soups and sauces to thicken them!
