The highest 5 Healthiest Condiments (and the WORST)

I am sure you can believe all the different types of condiments which might be undoubtedly not healthy...


What about Mayo?  Sorry...

With processed sophisticated soybean oil as the major ingredient in most mayos, there may be NOTHING healthful about mayonnaise.  It reasons inner inflammation and harms your omega-6 to omega-three steadiness with excess omega-6 fats.   Tartar sauce has the same problems as mayo.  If you will find a mayo made with a 100 % olive oil alternatively of soybean oil, this would certainly be a healthful option.

Ketchup?  Not fairly...

Sure, ketchup is made from tomatoes so it does incorporate the beneficial nutrient lycopene.  Unluckily ketchup has a high % of sugar, and most manufacturers are made with nasty high fructose corn syrup.  Not just right.  Hey, I'm a ketchup lover myself, however, I simply attempt to preserve the variety small to lower the sugar intake.

Barbecue Sauce?  Nope...

BBQ sauce is honestly worse than ketchup due to the fact it has better stages of sugar or HFCS and reduces phases of exact tomato.  Strike three with BBQ sauce.

Salad Dressing?  Now not most retailer brands...

As you already know from this salad dressing article of mine, there is now not so much healthful about most store-purchased salad dressings...Most include HFCS and soybean oil or unhealthy canola oil as the primary constituents.

Most "fat-free" salad dressings are with no trouble loaded with extra sugar.  Plus, don't forget that you just need a just right fat source to move together with your salad to support soaking up the vitamins and minerals for your veggies, so fat-free dressing just isn't a just right option.  Even most salad dressing manufacturers that claim to be "made with olive oil" handiest have small quantities of actual olive oil, whilst unhealthy soybean or canola oils are the most important oils used.  Instead, follow my healthy salad dressing recipe if you wish to have a lean healthful physique.


So, what are the top 5 healthiest condiments?


Below, I offer you my top 5 picks for the healthiest condiments for a lean healthful body.  Certain, there perhaps just a few others no longer on this list which might be also healthful, but these are my prime 5 picks:

1. Mustard

that is correct... Mustard is absolutely one of the vital healthiest condiments!  First, it has no delivered sugar.  Also, the mustard seed itself is a source of strong antioxidants.  Additionally to the antioxidants in the mustard seed, most yellow mustards additionally include turmeric (some of the healthiest anti-melanoma spices) and paprika, which both contain powerful antioxidants as well!

2. Guacamole


I know, I know... When do I ever discontinue speaking about avocados and guacamole?  Sorry, it's every one of my favorite foods, and I devour avocados or guac close to day by day.  At this point, I do not believe I need to explain why Guac is healthy, as I believe every person knows this by using now... But a rapid recap:  lots of healthful fats (that satisfy your appetite and keep an eye on hormone balance), tons of fiber, and a lot of nutrients, minerals, and antioxidants.

And creamy guac just makes anything style higher!  I put it on eggs, on burgers, on chicken or fish, or just eat it with veggie sticks.  If you happen to purchase pre-made guac from the store, simply be sure to assess the materials and ensure it would not have introduced trans fats or different synthetic parts.  But it's so easy and speedy to make recent guac, I have no idea why anyone would purchase pre-made guac.

3. Salsa

although ketchup was once on the unhealthy record due to the sugar content material, salsa makes the super healthful list as it is close to never having brought sugars when you get the just right company.  Salsa is as a rule just veggies so it can be difficult to go fallacious.  I love it on my morning eggs for style typically.  I additionally like to mix salsa 1/2 and a half with guac for a scrumptious get-together deal!

And if you are a ketchup lover and want to diminish your sugar consumption, just are trying salsa alternatively for a much more fit alternative.  Believe me... Salsa on a burger is just as delicious as ketchup on a burger.

Just do not forget that the corn chips that folks mostly cram down their throats with salsa will not be even almost healthful.  Corn chips are mostly fried in a heavily refined omega-6 oil comparable to corn or soy oil, and are inflammatory.  Plus, most corn used for corn chips is genetically modified.   Organic corn chips are a small step within the proper path (this ensures it's now not GMO corn), however, I might still try to preserve the variety small if you're going to devour corn chips with salsa.

4. Hummus


Hummus is almost always simply chickpeas, tahini, garlic, lemon, and olive oil, and is quite simply one of the vital healthiest condiments or as a separate snack with the aid of itself.

The primary factor to seem for when buying the just right hummus is to make certain it is made with olive oil and not soybean or canola oil.  Lamentably most manufacturers use cheap soy or canola oil, but when you are a label reader, it can be easy to find a company that uses solely olive oil.

One of my favorite snacks is simply veggie sticks with hummus.  However, hummus can be a scrumptious condiment to move with sandwiches, on prime meat dishes, and so forth.


5. Pesto


Pesto is in general a mashed mix of garlic, pine nuts, basil, olive oil, and grated cheese.  It's a pleasant source of healthful fats and in addition powerful antioxidants, regularly from the garlic and basil, but to a point from the pine nuts and olive oil too.

Pesto goes incredibly well with sandwiches, on meat dishes, or pretty, even on eggs.

There may be an extra condiment we failed to quilt but that you perhaps questioning about...

What about the sizzling sauce?  Surely, the scorching sauce is fairly healthful.  Most hot sauces do not have brought sugars.  And the scorching peppers are surely excellent for you too and might even rationale a slight and temporary metabolism expansion.  The one crisis of most hot sauces is moderately excessive sodium content.   But until you go nuts with a lot of hot sauce on every meal, the sodium content material in scorching sauce might not be a limitation.

So now that you know 5 of the healthiest condiments, don't be afraid to indulge next time you want any such tasty additions to your meal.

But pay attention...
