Ketchup
This simple Paleo ketchup is lightly sweetened with tons of tomato flavor. It’s loaded with antioxidant-rich lycopene and makes an excellent choice for fighting off free-radical damage. Raw honey adds a touch of sweetness along with enzymes and minerals to aid your digestive health.

Instructions
- Combine ingredients in a small mixing bowl and stir well to combine.

Mustard
This mustard is full of anti-inflammatory turmeric and a hefty dose of probiotic-rich apple cider vinegar. Look for apple cider vinegar that contains strands of amino acids with enzymes known as “the mother.” Because mustard powder is pungent and bitter, a little bit of raw honey will help to balance out the tangy flavor.

Barbecue Sauce
Barbecue sauces are often laden with high fructose corn syrup. This single ingredient can be a slippery slope in the health department, increasing risk for certain diseases as well as high blood pressure. Subbing in pure maple syrup, this sauce is rich in smoky-sweet flavor. Coconut aminos substitute for traditional Worcestershire sauce and soy sauce for a touch of bitterness you can use in sauces, marinades, and other condiments.

Mayonnaise
Mayonnaise is one condiment that seems like it would naturally be Paleo. The problem is that many commercial brands sneak in vegetable oils and refined sugars that are low in nutrient density. Instead, this recipe uses anti-inflammatory avocado oil to create a creamy mayonnaise that’s ideal for sandwiches or coleslaw dressings.
