I'm trying to make my favorite mofongo a bit healthier without sacrificing flavor. Are there any clever swaps or alternatives for the classic mofongo ingredients that you've tried or heard about? I'm all ears for any tips to make this dish a bit lighter and still delicious!

You can try using roasted plantains instead of fried ones for a lighter version, and swap out some of the pork cracklings with turkey bacon or a mix of sautéed veggies for added flavor. I've heard these swaps can keep the dish delicious while making it a bit healthier!

Hey! For a healthier twist on classic mofongo, try using plantains instead of regular potatoes for a fiber boost. Swap out the pork for lean chicken or tofu to keep it lighter. Also, consider using a bit of olive oil instead of the traditional lard. You’ll still get that delicious flavor with a healthier spin!
