I love kosher pickles. Unfortunately pickles will be going on the "do not mess with" list. Did you know that one medium kosher pickle has 1,181mg of sodium? I also love cottage cheese but one cup contains 819mg of sodium. I recently learned that pasta sauce is very high in sodium. Hunt's makes a low sodium tomato sauce that can be used to make spaghetti.
Here are some tips for cutting back on sodium:
- At restaurants, ask the chef to cut back on the salt when your meal is prepared
- Have salad dressings and condiments served on the side instead
- Buy additive free organic chicken and cut back on more than 400 mg of sodium
- season food with salt free spices like Mrs Dash
Tip: Try to avoid food items with more than 400mg per serving. Look for low sodium/salt portions with 140mg or less
Challenge: Shake things up but leave the salt on the table.
Have a Veggie Good Day,
