Sayonara Mayonaise

Guh... I love mayonaise.  It's so good mixed with ketchup and Chik-fil-et waffle fries!

But alas, I have said goodbye to my last bottle of mayonnaise. There really isn't anything good in mayonnaise, besides it kind of tasting delicious.  But now that I'm counting all my caloires (yes, I actually still keeping up with Livestrong.com) mayo just ins't worth the weight.  I haven't sworn off condiments,  I still love them! I have just been on the look out for healthier replacements and I have been succesful!  Here are my two new favorite spreads.  I actually have been using these for a while, so don't be suprised when you see them popping up in my blog in the near future.

#1. Ralph's Sweet Hot Mustard

The sweet part cools down the spicy and this mustard gives your food that extra little kick, without being overbearing.  I usually use it with chicken, and it also compliments salmon very nicely. 


There are 10 calories in 1 serving of Ralph's Sweet Hot Mustard. Calorie breakdown: 0% fat, 100% carbs, 0% protein.

It runs about $1.50 - $2 bucks at Ralph's and it lasts me up to 3-4 months.

#2  Chipotle Chili Light Mayonnaise

(Market Pantry)...aka Target

Ok, so I lied and didn't "completely" get rid of mayonaise, but all my normal mayo is gone, I swear 0_o

This one is great because you get all the taste and texture of a mayo, without the calorie intake.

There are 35 calories in 1 serving of Chipotle Chili Light Mayonnaise. Calorie breakdown: 4g fat, 60 mg Sodium, 1g of Carbs

It runs about $1.99 at Target and it lasts me up to 2-3 months. 

I have learned that mustard is a much safer less caloric way to go. It tends to have 1/6 less calories than mayo, and the consistency is similar.  Tough luck though if you don't like the smell of mustard seeds. I'll keep my eyes peeled for more good cheap spreads. Until next time internet!
