Low-Fat Béchamel Sauce
Low-Fat Béchamel Sauce is a lighter take on the classic French white sauce (béchamel) used as a base for gratins, lasagnes and creamy casseroles; it replaces some butter with reduced-fat milk to cut calories while keeping the traditional texture. Per 100g it provides about 3g of protein and is lower in total fat than a full‑fat béchamel, making it a common choice when you want creaminess with fewer calories. It retains milk-derived micronutrients such as vitamin B12 and iodine and offers a good-quality protein profile, though it can contribute modest sodium to a dish, so watch overall salt in the meal.
