This Passover Ingredients Swap List will show you some of the most common substitutions that we have available nowadays.
I hope that with this Passover Ingredient Swap list, I can take off of you some of the overwhelm, and remind you how easy it is to cook (and enjoy!) not just eating during Pesach, but the planning that comes with it.

The ONE thing I have struggled the most since my “trying-very-hard-to-eat-healthier” journey started is breakfast. Growing up we had a lot of what you consider common: “breads, milk, cheese, chocolate, eggs”, that let me feeling bloated and with stomach pain, and dominican favorites like mangú, or other roots with eggs, that although I loved, made me feel too heavy in the morning. The healthiest breakfast we came across at the time was oatmeal porridge, but it was too slimy for my taste. Saying I hated it is probably an understatement…
I have actually come across chia seeds years ago. Someone told me that it help you lose weight. Just mix it with water, let it rest for a few minutes, and drink it all day long for I don’t remember what long. It seemed easy enough, so I went ahead and bought a huge bag of chia seeds. To make the story short, I hated it and regretted so much to spend my money on that. my first big bag of chia seeds I hated those tiny seeds in my water.
Thanks God Pinterest exists now to help me feed my inspiration hunger. There I came across this Chocolate Chia Pudding and many other ways to use chia in the kitchen. Adding chocolate was such a revelation! In case you don’t know chia seeds have the super power of transforming any liquid into a gel-like consistency, so in a few minutes you can make this pudding for breakfast, snack or even dessert. If you want a smooth consistency, you can use a high-speed blender, like Ninja, Vitamix and the like.
