Whole30 Homemade Mayonnaise

July 21, 2020

One of the things I loved about doing the Whole30 for the first time was that I realized how easy it was to make so many staples from scratch, including this super simple mayonnaise! I also learned that the reason for making staples from scratch was so important was because the store-bought versions contained so many additives, sugars and generally poor quality oils that can cause us to feel crappy. Before I share this mayonnaise making process with you, give me a virtual hand raise if you think you should avoid eating mayonnaise because it’s full of fat and will make you gain weight? If your initial reaction to that question is YES, I probably should avoid mayo in my diet if I have weight-loss goals, I’m here to tell you that’s entirely false! If you’re confused why I’m suggesting it’s not off-limits for weight-loss success, let me let you in on a little pro tip:

Eating Fat doesn't make you fat! Sugar does!

Just to be clear, I’m not suggesting that you need to be anti-carbs or even strictly low-carb. I don’t rule out any foods entirely, I just know some foods are better eaten in moderation. I also think it’s worth having a basic understanding of how the body processes these macronutrients and realize that dietary fat isn’t the culprit for gaining body fat. Generally speaking though, you shouldn’t need to be concerned with whole food carbohydrates like fruit, sweet potatoes, or other root vegetables. I often meet with clients who are fed up and frustrated with their weight-loss struggles and want my suggestions for helping them go low-carb or keto. The truth is, you’re not struggling with your weight because you’re eating too many carbohydrate-rich whole foods like bananas and sweet potatoes. You’re most likely struggling because you’re not fully aware of how often you’re indulging in less healthy types of carbs and added sugars.

This is just another reason I’m so on board with everyone trying a Whole30 at least once! You’ll learn so much about how to fuel your body with real whole foods that are actually really delicious, and it’s something you’ll adopt so many long-term strategies from. Before you know it, you’ll be whipping up all your own homemade healthy condiments and whole food meals on a regular basis without even thinking twice about it!

Description

This super-simple mayonnaise makes creating all your favourite recipes a breeze! From potato salad, egg salad, and tuna salad or using it as a base for your favourite dips and dressings, you’ll get so much use out of this healthier version of mayo!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup avocado oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 tsp mustard powder
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • juice from 1/2 lemon

Instructions

  1. Before you begin, make sure all ingredients are at room temperature.

  2. Place 1/4 cup of the avocado oil, the egg, mustard powder and salt in a blender, food processor or large measuring cup if you’re using an immersion blender.

  3. While the food processor is running, very, very slowly pour in the remaining oil. The slower you pour the oil, the thicker and more stable the mayonnaise will become. If you pour the remaining oil in too quickly, you’ll end up with a soupy, oily mess.

  4. Once all of the oil is added and the mixture has emulsified, add the lemon juice and blend just to incorporate.

The seemingly little things add up to become the big things and eventually, you wind up feeling like you have no energy, don't sleep well, your clothes are tighter and you generally just feel crappy. Are any of these making their way into your lifestyle more than you'd like?⁠
⁠
❌ getting to bed past 10pm⁠
❌ lack of fresh air⁠
❌ sedentary lifestyle⁠
❌ convenient foods or takeout⁠
❌ daily hits of sugar⁠
❌ minimal green vegetables⁠
❌ less than 2L water/day⁠
❌ eating white flour⁠
❌ less than 100g protein per day⁠
❌ eating inflammatory oils⁠
❌ less than 25g fiber/day⁠
❌ negative thoughts⁠
❌ high-stress lifestyle with a lack of coping mechanisms⁠
⁠
The good news? Lots of these things are simple and you can start to make tiny changes right away. Pick two things on this list and commit to making them happen daily over the next week :)⁠

I've been loving going for an afternoon walk after my workday finishes and listening to a podcast. It's such a great way to transition from work to personal time, it gets me moving AND I always learn something new!⁠
⁠
Here's what's been in my earbuds lately:⁠
⁠
1) The Ultimate Health Podcast @ultimatehealthpodcast
2) The Model Health Show by @shawnmodel
3) The Doctors Farmacy by @drmarkhyman⁠
4) Life Coach School by @therealbookcastilo⁠
5) The School of Greatness by @lewishowes⁠
⁠
Do you listen to podcasts? What should I be adding to my list?⁠
