Tip 43: Skip the mayo!

Bret, this tip is for you!

Bret LOVES mayo. I mean, this guy would have it all the time.

I personally HATE mayo, so this tip does not really apply to me. Haha

Today's tip is on the short side, but that doesn't mean it is any less important!

Tip 43: Skip the mayonaise!

Mayo is full of fat, calories, and theres plenty of ways to get that good taste without slathering on mayo.

Here's five easy ways to replace mayonaise!:
1. Spices! Add salt, pepper, oregano, basil, chili power, any spice you like to get more taste
2. go for a low calorie dressing or vinagrette instead
3. greek yogurt! (this is my personal fave). add a little of PLAIN greek yogurt to tuna and make tuna salad. the same goes for any other recipie that calls for mayo. it's lower calorie, more filling because its full of protein, and really yummy! you can also slather a little on break for sandwiches
4. add lettuce or tomato to sandwiches for more moisture
5. if you absolutely HAVE to have it, go for a reduced-calorie mayo, one made with healthier ingredients (such as olive oil mayo or vegganaise- which is a vegan mayo made from a plant base). Or, just put less! :)
