The start of the new year brings with it all of those feelings of starting anew and having a fresh slate to try new things. That's why New Year's resolutions are so popular. We're all trying to lead healthier lives, and the beginning of 2019 is the perfect time to start.
That's where Chosen Foods comes in! Getting fulfilling flavor out of healthy foods can be a tall task—grilled chicken anyone? Slathering sauces all over your sandwiches and foods is a great way to load up on unnecessary calories and (more often than not) added sugars. Chosen Foods, on the other hand, offers you some condiment options that won't destroy your healthy New Year's resolutions.
Avocado Oil
Olive oil has been touted as the wonder oil because of its association with the Mediterranean Diet; however, it has a pretty smoke point (especially extra virgin olive oil). Avocado oil, on the other hand, has the same heart-healthy saturated fats but a much higher smoke point of 500°F. That makes it perfect for searing meat, broiling, and even frying! Plus, it's mild flavor pairs well with basically anything.
If you don't use oil that often, Chosen Foods even has single serve packets. That way you don't open up an entire bottle and keep it around for half a year letting the oil go rancid. One of our favorite offerings, though, was the avocado oil spray. It works just like any other non-stick spray you might use to coat your pan for cooking, but there's one important difference. Chosen Foods has no chemicals, propellants, or preservatives in their avocado spray. That means the only ingredient is pure avocado oil which made it the perfect option for wetting our lunch salads at work. No waste. No soggy salads. And no spilled dressing containers in our bags. It's literally perfect!
Avocado Mayo
One of the downsides to eating healthy seems to be that all of the foods just aren't as tasty. Chosen Foods has you covered with their avocado mayo options, especially their single-use options. They are perfect for sandwiches, and they have no added sugars! Our favorite was the black garlic flavored option. It gave great flavor while only being 100 calories per serving! We used it as a base on the bread for a typical millennial breakfast of avocado toast. We were basically five-star dining at our work desk for breakfast. Plus, all your vegan friends will appreciate the vegan mayo line.
Chipotle Ranch Dressing & Marinade
The unsung hero of the products was truly the chipotle ranch made with avocado oil. We're sure it makes for a great dressing or marinade, as advertised, but we used it as a topping for our grilled chicken to give it a little something extra. We only used a teaspoon on top of our chicken breast, which was enough for a thin coating, and the sauce gave us that full-bodied flavor we craved while only being half a serving! We can't wait to try it as a topping for a taco salad in the future.
