Chipotle Aioli
Smoky, garlicky, thick enough to stand a spoon in — and secretly all protein.
Spread-It-On-Everything Lore
Classic aioli is basically garlic-flavored mayonnaise — delicious, and about 90 calories a tablespoon of pure fat. This one keeps the thick, luxurious, cling-to-your-sandwich texture but builds it on Greek yogurt and blended cottage cheese, so it spreads like the real thing and eats like a protein shake in disguise.

Not to be confused with the Chipotle Fiesta Sauce (this chapter) — that one's a thin, pourable bowl drizzle. This is the thick, garlicky spread for sandwiches, wraps, and dipping.
✂️ Trim Trim Trim
Nothing to trim — it's all in the base swap. Real aioli is emulsified oil; this one is mostly nonfat Greek yogurt and cottage cheese with just a single tablespoon of light mayo for that authentic silky mouthfeel. That's a ~160-calorie, 19g-fat cut per 2 tbsp versus classic chipotle aioli, and it flips the macro from "all fat" to "actually protein."
