When I made the choice to clean up my nutrition, eliminating mayo was really difficult. First I went cold turkey but then learned I could sub mayo or sour cream for fat free plain Greek yogurt. I understand it's not the exact same, but it gets easier and easier over time.
An old fav lunch of mine was chicken salad. I know a lot of others enjoy chicken salad too so I was bound and determined to find a healthy substitute. If you're following the 21 day fix, I've included equivalents for you!! You're welcome :)
