Allergies and diets are common reasons to swap foods. We advocate for a balanced diet full of nutrient-rich foods, regardless of your eating habits. Next time you’re in the kitchen swap mayo for avocado. If Taco Tuesday is on deck, try Cabot Creamery Co-operative Greek Yogurt instead of traditional sour cream. Both additions will keep you feeling fuller longer. #EatBetterEatTogether
