Vegenaise is one of the most popular vegan mayo options available, and when you taste it you can tell why. It’s certified Kosher, gluten-free, and uses non-GMO ingredients. Made with expeller-pressed oil, it has only 70mg of sodium and 0.5g of saturated fats. If you’re looking to switch it up, they have a variety of flavors, including pesto, sriracha, chipotle, and roasted garlic. You can also pick it up in soy-free, organic, or reduced-fat varieties.
Made with Aquafaba
Chosen Foods Vegan Avocado Oil Mayo
If you’re new to aquafaba, it’s the liquid left over from cooking or soaking garbanzo beans. Besides absorbing nutrients from the beans, it also mimics the binding abilities of eggs. In other words, it’s a perfect vegan mayo ingredient! This particular product uses a blend of aquafaba and avocado oil to create a certified vegan mayo. It’s a little high in saturated fats with 1.5g per serving, but it’s still a solid gluten-free and non-GMO option.
Sir Kensington’s Fabanaise
Another certified vegan mayo product, Fabanaise is made with 100% sunflower oil and aquafaba. By taking advantage of that chickpea power, they avoid needing any processed starch, soy, or pea powders. It’s certified Kosher, gluten-free, and GMO-free. If you’re looking for some extra flavor, try the Chipotle or Avocado Oil Fabanaise.
