Condiments such as spices provide the body with antioxidants that protect cells throughout your body. However, most condiments are rich in salt, fat, and sugar that can add weight or destroy your healthy diet quickly without realizing it. Even a few tablespoons of some of these most favorite condiments in America turn a healthy meal into an unhealthy one instantly.

Here are five low-calorie condiments to switch to lose or maintain your weight:

Mustard or Mash Avocado

Instead of mayo, swap for mustard or mashed avocado. While this may not be a replica, it still provides a creamy taste without calories from unhealthy sources of fat. One tablespoon of mustard is only ten calories compared to mayo, ninety-four calories.

Olive Oil

Instead of vegetable oil or butter, swap for olive oil. Olive oil is a healthy source of fat and is a source of less saturated fats when compared to butter or vegetable oil. Not only that, but olive oil also contains powerful antioxidants that specifically protect the heart and fight against cancer.

Hummus

Instead of cheese dips or other fatty dips, swap for homemade hummus. The average store-bought hummus is packed full of salt and oils, making a healthy dish unhealthy. This is why you should opt to make your own to control the type of oil and fats to use and the amount you add. The fats in homemade hummus are healthy and make this condiment a creamy option to swap for cheese or cream-based sauces.

Ricotta

Instead of cream cheese, opt for a spread of ricotta. Ricotta has the same creamy texture but without the added fat and calories. Ricotta is also packed full of protein and calcium to make you feel full and satiated throughout your day.

Greek Yogurt

Instead of sour cream, swap for a dollop of Greek yogurt instead. Like the rest of the condiment swaps listed earlier, Greek yogurt is a healthier option because it is high in protein but lower in calories and fat. Greek yogurt also contains probiotics that can regulate your digestion.

In the end, it is important to take a look at the condiments you consume daily to be sure you are not destroying the results of your healthy diet or lifestyle. Most condiments found in American kitchens are high in unhealthy fats and salt that can quickly add on the pounds. These simple swaps can make it easier to choose condiments that not only taste good but are much healthier too.
