SheilaT Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Hello, I am not incorporating Mayonnaise during my whole30. My boyfriend and I found a zero carb Mayo at Walmart and it's called, Just Mayo by Hampton Creek. Ingredients include: Non-GMO Expeller Pressed Canola Oil Filtered Water, Lemon Juice White Vinegar 2% or less of the following: Organic Sugar, Salt, Pea Protein, Spices, Modified Food Starch, Beta-Carotene, Calcium Disodium, EDTA (to preserve freshness). I was surprised to stumble upon this mayonnaise as it does not have Carbs. Their Nutrition Facts label stated: Serving Size: 1 Tablespoon Servings per container: about 60 Calories 90 Calories from Fat 90 Total Fat 10g 15% Saturated Fat 1g 5% Trans Fat 0g Cholesterol 0mg 0% Sodium 80mg 3% Total Carbohydrate 0g 0% Dietary Fiber 0g 0% Sugars 0g Protein 0g Any thoughts or opinions on this Mayonnaise? Thanks you lots. Sheila Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missmary Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 sorry, but this mayo isn't permitted on the whole30 because of the pea protein and sugar (canola oil is also not great, although not completely banned). It is really easy to make your own mayo with compliant oil. I prefer 1/2 avocado oil (look for a pale yellow one for mild flavor)/1/2 coconut oil.

Guest Andria Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 You mentioned twice in your post that this mayo did not contain any carbs. Whether a mayonnaise (or any food, for that matter) has carbs or not really has no bearing on a Whole30. I hope you do not think the Whole30 is about restricting carbs., because it is not. I vote for the homemade mayo, as well. Supper yummy. If you happen to make it with olive oil just be sure to use a light tasting olive oil and not EVOO.

Ann Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 I was intimidated to make mayo on my first W30, but once I got the hang of it (it's really not hard), it is so awesome. So many things you can do with it! This is the method/recipe I follow (minus the raw honey): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praxisproject Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 This is my favourite: http://thehealthyfoodie.com/fail-proof-home-made-paleo-mayo-whole30-compliant/ I use light olive oil. Also be aware when anything is measured as a tablespoon for the serve, the numbers do not always match what would be in say a kilo (labelling laws). In Australia labels also have to be provided in 100g or 100ml and a lot of packaged stuff is much higher in carbs than the tablespoon serving would suggest.

SheilaT Posted January 2, 2015 Author Share Posted January 2, 2015 Thank you Missmary, Andria, Ann and Praxisproject for your post and suggestions. Thank you for the video on how to make homemade Mayonnaise. I never made my own Mayonnaise and this will be first for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelli W Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Thanks Ann! I needed that video!! I tried to make mayo in the blender today and it was an epic fail. Will try this out tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ann Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 I was planning to make some tonight but then realized I left my stick blender at the office!! How silly is that?! (I planned to try to make bulletproof coffee at work using it, but didn't). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapy Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 I made my own for the first time successfully this week. The first time I made it I used EVOO and it was way too strong. This time was wonderful. I followed Melissa's recipe with a stick blender for the most part. Yummy and so easy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicoled817 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 i just posted the same thing....LOL! i am going to have to make my own mayo....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SheilaT Posted January 7, 2015 Author Share Posted January 7, 2015 Hi Nicoled817, Yes, I wondered about the Mayo too and I was looking at Just Mayo brand in particular. My boyfriend is diabetic, this question actually was more on his behalf. The video Ann made was really really good. I'll need to invest in a quality brand of immersion blender in the near future. Have a good evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Physibeth Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 If all you plan to use the immersion blender for is mayo any old one will do. For mayo you want really low speed. I bought the cuisenart one on Amazon which is a pretty good one for like $35. They are not very pricey and that one goes on sale frequently. I love it for making soup too.

c00kiekrisp Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I wanted to add that I do not have an immersion blender and the homemade mayo turned out just fine in my blender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santip80 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I like to add franks red hot sauce or other compliant hot sauce to my homemade mayo for 'buffalo' style mayo. Goes great with just about everything! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ann Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 The video Ann made was really really good. Note: This was a video I found on YouTube from Grocery Geek -- it's not me! But it is my tried and true method for mayo making. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jharris7958 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Is it okay to use raw eggs to make homemade mayo. It concerns me but no one else seems concerned about it. If they are pasturized eggs does that make it okay? I'd really like a reply to this as I'd like to give it a try. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelli W Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I believe someone posted that the lemon juice / vinegar takes care of any issues with the raw egg. If its not covered in the post then the grocerygeek video covered it. I know I saw it somewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't found this to be true. I had a cheap one and it didn't work. I have the Breville one now and I use it at top speed (15) and it makes mayo in seconds. Cheap blender and slow speeds didn't work. With the Breville on 15 and my egg cold from the fridge, I get no-fail mayo every time. (Perhaps this is the only way I live on the edge?) I always feel ancient French chefs turning in their graves when I make mayo. It's just so counterintuitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missmary Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Amy, um, just so you know, your Mayo process defies known food science . I'm glad it's working for you, but low and slow with the right balance of fat and acid is what is supposed to be going on. Those ancient French chefs did it by hand with a fork .

I'm glad it's working for you, but low and slow with the right balance of fat and acid is what is supposed to be going on. Those ancient French chefs did it by hand with a fork . I know! That's why I imagine them turning in their graves every time I make mayo. It's just so weird and uncheflike. Just a note, though, that I use the process described in the video above. It's not a blitz for a few seconds and then totally done, it's a blitz for a few seconds, rest for a bit, and repeat. So in a couple of minutes of blitz/rest you get mayo. Anyway, I posted that for anyone who is feeling iffy about making their own mayonnaise. If I can do it, anyone can! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kt cat Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Is it okay to use raw eggs to make homemade mayo. It concerns me but no one else seems concerned about it. If they are pasturized eggs does that make it okay? I'd really like a reply to this as I'd like to give it a try. Thanks. I am not comfortable using raw eggs, even from my cage free eggs from my csa. It's just not worth it to me! It seems like a lot of people use the raw egg with no problem. I also read a post about "pasteurizing" your own eggs at home, but then I read somewhere else that home pasteurization is not 100%. When I make mayo at home, I buy the pasteurized eggs from my grocery store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munkers Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Just to add to the French chef grave turning... I do my mayo with a whole egg straight from the fridge, teaspoon of mustard from the fridge, pinch of salt, and dash of cayenne. Medium to high speed on the immersion blender (whatever it was on the last time I used it) with whisk attachment and slowly drizzle oil. The acid portion (Apple cider vinegar for me) is stirred in at the end. This has never failed me except the time that I got cocky and drizzled too much oil and another time that I dumped in double vinegar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always feel ancient French chefs turning in their graves when I make mayo. It's just so counterintuitive. The only batch of mayo I've ever had not turn out I used too high a speed on my parents hand blender. So funny. I always use the low setting on mine and I stick it to the bottom of the jar and don't move it until stuff stops happening and then slowly move it around. For what it's worth this is the method I use: I personally don't worry about the raw egg yolk but I never have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
