PDV High Protein Mayo
Did you make this recipe?Mention @proteindeficient.vegan
If you like mayo but don’t like how many calories it is, this is the recipe for you! This High Protein Vegan Mayo is very low calorie and high in protein, so you can slather it on literally everything 🙂 It’s also great way to add protein and reduce calories in recipes that call for a lot of mayo! For example, I use it in my High Protein Cole Slaw, Chickpea Salad and Broccoli Salad recipes!
This is a five-ingredient recipe and it only takes a few minutes to make from start to finish!
Ingredients
- Extra Firm Silken Tofu – I cannot emphasize how important it is that you use silken tofu for this! Regular tofu (firm/extra firm) will not work and will end up being pretty gross tbh. If you haven’t cooked with silken tofu before, you can usually find it at the grocery store. There are two types – refrigerated and shelf-stable. You can even purchase the shelf-stable option online! I like the brand Mori-Nu, and usually buy their Extra Firm Silken Tofu because the calories/macros are slightly better.
- Lemon – we’re just using the juice of one lemon in this recipe. That’s about 2 tablespoons if you don’t have a fresh lemon on hand!
- Yellow Mustard – I like yellow mustard for this, but I think other mustard types would also be ok.
- Sugar – we’re not using much sugar for this, but I wouldn’t omit it unless you really need to.
- Salt – adjust to taste.
Directions
- Juice the lemon. You only need 2 tablespoons, so if it’s a big, juicy lemon, you might want to measure to make sure you don’t use too much!
- In a high-powered blender, blend all the ingredients together until creamy and well-mixed. Since there’s not much liquid in this recipe, it may require you to stop the blender a couple of times for some spatula interventions.
