Gut Healthy Mayo Recipe: No additives, fillers, preservatives, or toxins!
If you’re anything like us, mayonnaise is a staple in your diet. It’s great on sandwiches and fries, and it makes a great base for dips and sauces. But… mayo can be SO damaging to your gut health – and your overall wellness. Mayo often contains unnecessary additives and chemicals, plus vinegar is a less than ideal ingredient for your gut microbiome. This gut healthy mayo recipe not only supports gut health, but it contains ZERO TOXINS, and it’s made with anti-inflammatory olive oil that’s great for brain and body health. And, it’s easier to make than you think! All you need is a blender and a few simple ingredients (that are already staples in your Nutrifitx Pantry).

Gut Healthy Mayo
This gut healthy mayo recipe is made with anti-inflammatory ingredients that won't throw off the gut microbiome. Plus, there are no toxic ingredients, no fillers or additives, and no preservatives. It's quick and easy to make, and lasts for 2-3 weeks.
Ingredients
- 1 Whole Egg
- 1 Egg Yolk
- 1 tsp Sea Salt or Pink Himalayan Salt
- 1/2 tsp Mustard Powder
- 1 Tbsp Lemon Juice
- 1 c Olive Oil (See notes for flavor details)
Instructions
- Add egg and egg yolk to a blender, and blend on a high speed until well combined.
- Add salt, mustard powder, and lemon juice, and blend on high speed until well combined. (Do not omit mustard powder, as it is not for flavor, but the composition of the mayonnaise.)
- *READ CAREFULLY: Turn on your blender again. While the blender is on, remove the lid (or the center cap of the lid), and SLOWLY add in your oil. We like to use a liquid measuring up with a spout to pour a very thin stream. The slower you go on this step, the better and thicker your mayo will turn out. If you pour the olive oil in too fast, it will not emulsify - you will be left with an oily mess that isn't easy to fix or good to consume. As you pour, the mayo will get thicker and thicker. If you notice that the oil is separating from the egg mixture, stop pouring and let the blender mix for a bit before continuing.
- Transfer mayo to storage container (preferrably glass), and store in refrigerator.
Notes
The olive oil you use in this recipe can really impact the flavor of your mayonnaise. We prefer to use 3/4 cup of light tasting olive oil + 1/4 of full flavor (robust) olive oil; or we like to use 1 cup of classic/mild olive oil.
We find using all light tasting oil gives the mayo a bland or oily flavor, while the robust or full flavor olive oil is far too flavorful for our taste. Choose your ratio according to your taste preference.
IF YOUR MAYO SEPARATES OR DOES NOT EMULSIFY: This isn't the easiest problem to fix; however, it can be done.
Option 1: First, try adding additional egg yolks one at a time, blending between each to ensure the mayo is repaired. This can act as an emulsifier to help blend the oil and egg mixture together. Only add 2-3 egg yolks. If the mayo is still super oily and separated, try the next option.
Option 2: If adding egg yolks does not help to emulsify your mayo, remove the oily mixture from the blender. You'll need to start over from the top of the recipe and repeat. When it's time to pour in your oil, use the oily mixture you have from the previous batch instead of fresh oil. You will not need all of the damaged mayonnaise, so be sure to go slow and pay close attention to the consistency of your new mayo. You can keep the oily, damaged mayo in the fridge for your next batch or two.
