Convenience items are worth their weight in gold when you are Fructose Free.
Here are some more items I cannot live without:
Canola Mayonnaise
I owe this Fructose Free discovery to my husband, Micah, 100%. Newly diagnosed, I was wandering aimlessly up and down every isle of the grocery store when I stumbled upon the wall-o-mayonnaise. I knew you could make your own fructose free mayo, so I began to dig…
Jar after jar and bottle after bottle… Lots of mayo, but not a single one to eat. As I was storming off in frustration, Micah hollered at me. He found this awesome canola-based mayo from Hellmann’s and it is now has a permanent spot in our fridge. Its “staple” status is only reinforced by the fact is both yummy and only 4 grams of fat per serving!
No High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) and the new formula does not contain soy, but it does contain corn starch. Some Fructose Free Folks have to watch their corn starch more closely than others, and if cornstarch sends your tummy into bubbles it is super easy to make your own. Check out this link!

Armed with this Fructose Free Staple you have lots of potato salads, tuna salads, and CHICKEN SALADS available for your happy eating 🙂
Canned Chicken
Speaking of chicken salad, canned chicken breast makes short work of a healthy meal on the go. After reading dozens of labels on different brands of canned chicken breast, I finally found one without corn starch!
This particular brand comes in bulk (at Sam’s Club), and is tasty to boot, so it is a great choice for those living with and without cornstarch!
My Chicken Salad Recipe
~ 1 can of Member’s Mark All Natural Chicken Breast ~ 2-3 Tbsp. of mayonnaise, depending on how creamy you like your chicken salads ~ 1 stalk celery chopped finely ~ 1 Tbsp. Heinz Yellow Mustard (which doesn’t contain garlic powder like most other brands) ~ 1 Tbsp. dried chives (splurge on the vibrant green ones in glass jars, not the off brands that look (and taste) like onion soaked paper. Totally worth it!) ~ 1 tsp. paprika (if tolerated) ~ salt and pepper to taste ~
Stir to combine, then dive in with your favorite fructose free potato chips or toasted bread! Or refrigerate so everything is ready to go for lunch tomorrow. Your choice… I would also recommend making a double batch… it tends to disappear around here very very quickly.
