Our road trip to find the BEST food in Montenegro (it surprised us!)

butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil offers a dairy-free alternative with a similar texture.

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess.

walnuts

🥗Healthier: almonds

💰Cheaper: pecans

Almonds provide a similar crunch with a different flavor profile.

dark chocolate

🥗Healthier: cacao nibs

💰Cheaper: semi-sweet chocolate

Cacao nibs offer a less sweet, more intense chocolate flavor.

Visit the small town of Perast known for the Lady of the Rocks Island and church.

Try the traditional dish called 'pasas tort' or Perast cake, which is dense and made with marzipan, almonds, and eggs.

Enjoy the cake, which is surprisingly not very sweet, and pair it with some ice cream.
