Eat This, Not That!

Choosing the right mayo means disregarding the calories and going for the one that boasts the besthealthy fats.

Clean Ingredients

Skip the jars that contain ingredients not normally found in mayobasically, anything with scientific-sounding names.

Taste

Mayo, in all of its unapologetically creamy glory, should upgrade anything you schmear it on.

Yup, even your fingers… if that’s how you roll.

But I didn’t heed its advice.

Kraft Light Mayo

Taste:This light mayo tastes exactly like what it’s called: light.

Hellmann’s is thicker than Kraft Light and a lot creamier, too.

Hellmanns Mayonnaise With Olive Oil

Don’t be fooled by the popular brand’s smart marketing.

This spread has more inflammatory soybean oil than slimming olive oil.

Taste-wise, we give this one a thumbs-up, but its not-so-favorable ingredients halt its stardom.

Hellmans Real Mayonnaise

Taste:Just a tad tangy and boasts a pleasantly mild taste.

If only the scent weren’t so off-putting.

Sorry, but “real” mayo shouldn’t have Calcium Disodium EDTA.

Primal Kitchen Mayo with Avocado Oil

The easy way to make healthier comfort foods.

Taste:The most adequate description: sour.

Despite the inclusion of avocado oil, this mayo was neither green nor tasted like guac (sorry).

Sir Kensingtons Organic Mayonnaise

But it did spread well and add the creamy factor you’re feigning for.
