Vegan Mayo

Today I purchased a vegan mayonnaise from Supernature. The name is Vegenaise. All I can say this is really the closest taste to a real mayo. I love it man.

I'm trying to cut down my intake in dairy products and eggs. Right now, I don't eat these stuff at home but only outside, and I tried to cut down the quantity as well. My favourite prata in the past are Egg and Cheese/Mushroom. Right now, I try to go for plain prata only but of course once in a blue moon, I will allow myself to indulge in those 2 pratas.

Yet when I ate those 2 pratas, I kind of feel guilty. I suppose it's a sign to tell me stop eating? Anyway, I found the following receipe from the internet. I will like to try it out when my Vita Mix blender is here... :)

I should blog more about my Vita Mix blender when I have received it.

Homemade Mayonnaise Recipe – Vegan Mayonnaise Recipe

Makes ¾ cup mayonnaise

½ cup soaked almonds (soak almonds for 8 hours)
½ cup purified water
Juice ½ lemon
3/4 tablespoon honey
½ tablespoon raw apple cider vinegar
1/8 teaspoon dry mustard
½ teaspoon sea salt
½ to 2/3 cup olive oil

Place all the ingredients for your homemade mayonnaise recipe in a heavy duty blender except the olive oil. Puree the ingredients until very smooth. With blender still in motion, slowly pour a thin stream of olive oil through the opening in your blender’s cover. Continue to puree until you reach the right consistency. Taste and adjust flavors to your liking.
