Vegetarians could substitute shrimp or fish for the chicken.

Vegans can use chopped mushrooms or even cooked quinoa instead of chicken.

Once again, it just goes to show that high-quality sirtfoods can be easily incorporated into almost any meal. So feel free to use other high-quality ingredients.

Since we are fans of fresh, local, organic quality produce, it is in the nature of things that not every ingredient is available every season. In this case, you can substitute anything with currently available sirtfood. Alternatively, frozen goods can be used.

Please never use canned foods, or only in the greatest of emergencies. Such foods are mostly deprived of their nutrients and are not a full-fledged alternative to a fresh and varied diet.
