Paleo Mayo (hey that almost rhymes)

Before I start, I just want to throw out a quick disclaimer. I've been posting a lot about our Paleo Lifestyle and I just wanted to say that this lifestyle does not work for everyone. Just like everyone else in the world, we have flaws, and we aren't perfect. We strive to do our best and to use the best products available. In no way do we claim any of these recipes or workouts to be our own and would like to fully credit the appropriate authors.

Paleo is something that works for us. We do not believe in evolution (even though The Primal Blueprint insists on it), rather we believe in Christ. We are two LDS people that like to improve our lives and treat our bodies as a temple, keeping it clean inside and out.

Thanks

Eating paleo may seem like a bit of work. You have to prepare everything from scratch and nothing comes from a box or a carton. But, we've found it to be something that is doable, and is part of our lifestyle. We make the time to prepare the food, whether it be Mayonnaise, or a birthday cake, its all from scratch the Paleo way. 

Ingredients: 

2 Whole Eggs (Room temperature)

2 Tablespoons White Vinegar or Lemon Juice (1:1 mixture of the two works as well)

1/2 Teaspoon Salt

1/2 Teaspoon Mustard (Optional)

1 1/2 cup Light Olive oil 

1/4 Teaspoon Pepper (Optional)

First, combine eggs, vinegar/lemon juice, salt, mustard, and pepper in the mixing container. Gently pour olive oil over the top (this part is important). 

Next, insert the hand blender into the mixture, all the way to the bottom, trying to pin the egg yolks against the bottom. 

Turn the blender on, leaving it on the bottom. You will start to feel the egg yolks break up and essentially thicken the mixture, about 10 seconds. Then, slowly raise the hand blender towards the top and ensure the mixture is entirely blended. 

The End. 

Easy huh! There are other oils you can use such as: 

avocado oil

walnut oil

macadamia nut oil (For the rich :))

But, oils you would like to stay away from are: 

soybean oil

canola oil

vegetable oil 

corn oil 

peanut oil

sunflower oil

safflower oil

cottonseed oil

grapeseed oil

The above oils are not a part of the paleo diet and essentially bad for your health. It is essential you use LIGHT olive oil and not EVOO because EVOO is too strong and will taste... nasty. 

We like to use this little baby. It's only $35 and can be ordered HERE

Hope this information helps! I know its hard to make smaller things like this, but your body will thank you in the long run!
