My top 3 would be:
1. Coconut milk or almond milk which is great low-calorie, cheap and healthy alternative to regular milk
2. Unsweetened apple sauce which is a great substitute for oil/butter/sugar when baking
3. Homemade sweet potato fries (instead of regular fries)!

Chia seeds are a great egg alternative in baking for those that can't/won't eat eggs. I do eat eggs, but will still use them in baking sometimes too as they have lots of healthy stuff in them.0

Not a replacement, but I love hiding canned pumpkin in tomato based things (chili, spaghetti, etc.). You can't tell it's there, and extra nutrients.0 -
Spaghetti squash instead of pasta! Low calorie and tastes great!
Land 'O Lakes light butter--tastes like butter, but half the calories.
PB2--just tried it...not bad!0 -
