I was back at the grocery store today for another adventure in low-sodium/no-sodium foraging. Even though I have been on this new adventure for the past few weeks, it still never ceases to amaze me just how hidden this little culprit can be...
However, this is a happy story about finding some more "fun" things the keep good foods on the table and sodium-laden foods at bay.
Rice cakes--yep, but not the rice cakes of old that resembled compacted saw dust. The "new and improved" Quaker rice cakes in chocolate and caramel corn. Yum and only 40 and 30 milligrams of sodium, respectively.
Greek yogurt/cream cheese mixes in various flavors. Cream cheese by itself is, unfortunately, a sodium trap. But...add some good Greek yogurt to it and suddenly it's a great indulgence with only 60 milligrams per 2 tablespoons. Toss a little of this goodness on one of those rice cakes and who needs regular salty old cake? You can be good and eat good.
No-salt potato chips...no, this is not an oxymoron. No one ever said that potato chips have to be salty...nope, not at all. The crunch is the good part. Need a little dip? Mix a little onion powder and and dried chives in with some sour cream. You're good to go!
Hope these give you some happy low-sodium quality time with snacks--enjoy!
