    Greek yogurt! or Trader Joe's reduced guilt Spinach & Kale Dip ( makes a slammin tuna salad too!)
    But mostly we use Strained Greek Yogurt - thick n creamy and more protein n less carbs.... nom nom nommy check it out

    Protein - Greek yogurt has twice the protein of regular yogurt, because the protein is concentrated in the yogurt after it's strained.
    Carbohydrates - Greek yogurt has fewer carbohydrates, because the liquid that is strained out of it is high in carbs.
    Sodium - Greek yogurt has half the sodium of regular yogurt, because the liquid that is strained out of it is high in sodium.
    Calcium - Both yogurts are considered a good source of calcium, but regular yogurt has 3 times more calcium than Greek yogurt, because the liquid that is strained out of Greek yogurt is high in calcium.
    Each person can decide which kind of yogurt is best, depending on individual nutritional priorities. Choose Greek yogurt for higher protein and lower carbs and salt. Choose regular yogurt if your priority if to increase your calcium intake.

    Strained (Greek) yogurt is recommended for cooking.
    Strained yogurt is a healthy substitute for sour cream, cream cheese, and mayonnaise. It's creamier, thicker consistency makes it a better substitution in dips and dressings. Strained yogurt is also better for cooking because it doesn't curdle when it's heated; regular yogurt can curdle when heated.

    French's® Sooo Creamy & Light™ Mild Mustard Blend

    Only 10 cals per tsp, and it tastes really good.

    olive oil mayo is relatively good (and much better tasting than light mayo - and with half the calories). Avocado is quite delicious.

    plain 2% Greek yogurt (I recommend FAGE, it has the best texture and taste) ... or think outside of the box like me and use pureed avocado, it tastes amazing!

    EDIT: Apparently people have been reading my mind about the wonders of avocados ... lol

    I've made egg salad with just some diced avocado and fresh salsa & cilantro. Yum. When you stir in the avocado it makes the mixture creamy!
