High-Protein, Low-Calorie Mayonnaise

Here’s a high-protein, low-calorie mayonnaise recipe that is creamy, satisfying, and easy to prepare. It swaps high-fat ingredients like oil for healthier protein-packed alternatives.

Servings: 10
Calories per serving: Approximately: 18

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt (113g)

• 2 large boiled egg yolks (34g)

• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (5g)

• 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (or lemon juice for a fresher taste) (5g)

• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional for flavor) (1g)

• 1/4 teaspoon salt (1g)

• 1/4 teaspoon sweetener (e.g., Truvia) (optional for a hint of sweetness) (1g)

• 1-2 tablespoons water (to adjust consistency, optional) (30g)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Base: In a small mixing bowl, mash the boiled egg yolks with the back of a fork until smooth.

2. Combine Ingredients: Add the Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, salt, and sweetener (if using) to the mashed yolks.

Mix thoroughly until smooth and creamy.

3. Adjust Consistency: If the mixture is too thick, add water 1 teaspoon at a time, mixing well, until you reach your desired consistency.

4. Chill: Transfer the mayo to a container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

5. Serve: Use as a spread, dip, or dressing!

Why This Recipe Works:

• Greek Yogurt: A low-calorie, high-protein substitute for oil or mayonnaise.

• Egg Yolks: Retain the richness and creamy texture of traditional mayo but in moderation.

• Dijon Mustard & Vinegar: Provide tang and depth, mimicking the taste of real mayo.

• Customizable Flavor: Add herbs, spices, or garlic for variety.
