angelfish

🥗Healthier: cod

💰Cheaper: tilapia

Cod is a leaner alternative, while tilapia is more budget-friendly.

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess.

fresh herbs

🥗Healthier: dried herbs

💰Cheaper: mixed dried herbs

Dried herbs are more accessible and have a longer shelf life.
