Plant-Based Mayo Is the Way to Go
Unfortunately, traditional mayonnaise doesn’t have the best reputation when it comes to nutrition. Mayo poses a high fat and calorie profile, with a whopping 94 calories and 10g of fat per serving. By serving, we mean a single tablespoon, but it’s easy to use more than that. A generous portion of the popular condiment could add upwards of 150 calories and 15 grams of fat to your meal.
But don’t fret; you don’t have to shut mayo out of your life if you’re trying to stay healthy! We’ve created the tastiest mayo recipe that allows you to indulge in flavor without worrying about your waistline.
Our Easy Plant-Based Mayonnaise clocks in at just 47 calories and 4 grams of fat per serving. Unlike traditional mayo, our recipe is totally dairy-free and egg-free, making it plant-based and vegan-friendly. Most egg-free mayonnaise jars available in grocery stores compensate for flavor with more oil. Here, our recipe doesn’t even have oil in the ingredients list!
How To Make Plant-Based Mayonnaise
This irresistible plant-based mayo is so simple to make. It calls for just a handful of ingredients and a blender. Cashews make up the body of this condiment, eliminating the need for eggs and adding healthy fats into the mix.
Meanwhile, superfoods like lemon juice, vinegar, garlic powder, and paprika add an amazing depth of flavor. To make this recipe, simply add the ingredients to the blender and combine them on high speed. Once you’ve achieved a creamy texture, empty the contents into a container and refrigerate for eight hours to let the mayo to thicken. We recommend just waiting overnight, if you can, to really let the flavors melt.

Should we soak the cashews 1st to make the Mayo?
Deb, I’ve done it both ways and it doesn’t seem to make a difference. Cashews are fairly soft and blends well without soaking. However, feel free to soak 15-30 minutes.
