Low Sodium Swaps

Here are some easy low sodium swaps for your favorite ingredients. A little lesson of "eat this not that".

Corn Tortillas for Flour Tortillas 

-Many corn tortillas have zero sodium, but double check the nutrition information to make sure it has zero.

-You'll go from 300mg per shell (the large ones) to 0mg per shell. (the corn tortillas are considerably smaller, but you can have as many as you want!)

No Salt Added Canned Goods for Traditional Can Goods

-Pretty much every vegetable has a no salt added twin

Mrs. Dash for Packaged Meat Marinades

-We have used almost all the Mrs. Dash flavors for a marinade. Just add your favorite oil and a little vinegar (any kind you like)

You'll go from about 380mg per 1 tsp to 0mg per 1 tsp. This is one area where I truly did not miss the sodium.

Panko Bread Crumbs for Regular Bread Crumbs

You'll go from 350mg of sodium per 1/4 cup to 20mg of sodium per 1/4 cup.

No Sodium Baking Powder for Regular Baking Powder

-I have read you need to use double the amount of No Sodium vs. the Regular version.

You'll go from 60 mg of sodium per 1/8tsp to 0mg of sodium per 1/8tsp.

Natural Peanut Butter for Regular Peanut Butter

You'll go from about 150mg of sodium per 2TBSP to about 10mg of sodium per 2TBSP. I have seen peanut butter with 0mg of sodium, but this brand was on sale.

No Sodium Chicken Bouillon Granules for Regular Chicken Bouillon Granules

You'll go from about 1,100mg of sodium per 1tsp to 0mg of sodium per 1tsp.

We would NOT recommend the salt substitutes. They are just plain gross.
