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 (113g) plain nonfat Greek yogurt

• 2 (34g) boiled egg yolks

• 1 tsp (5g) Dijon mustard

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

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

• 1/4 tsp (1g) salt

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

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

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.
