Rosie's Favorite Lower Sodium Food List

Happy & Healthy 2023! 

My New Year's resolution is to start a personal list of my favorite low sodium, prepared foods, on my preciouscooking.blogspot.com blog, as sometimes I am too tired to cook food from scratch. Note the serving size when checking the sodium on the label. I like to check the number of servings in the product.

I don't like to bake bread in the hot summer and have had problems finding a low sodium bread that I liked. The brands that I like include some loaves of ,"Daves" and "Ezekial" In Dave's the thin-sliced, organic, sweetner is organic fruit juices, Powerseed at 1 lb 4.5 oz has 90 mg of sodium per slice compared to other brands that very from 150-250 mg sodium per slice. The Ezekial bread that I lean to at the moment is their sprouted grain bread at 75 mg sodium per thin slice.

I love the little spoon that comes with the can and the tightly wrapped crackers in the box! I tried all the tuna and chicken flavors and love them all for a snack to take to the park, eat at home, or for a quick lunch!

The lower salt cheeses that I have found are Swiss, fresh mozarella, some goat cheeses. If eating the cheese with bread, two slices of bread can be 500 mg of sodium. I search for low sodium breads but to date the only one I like is Dave's. In the winter I bake my own!

The lowest sodium TV dinner that I have found is Healthy Choice Margherita Balsamic Chicken at 360 mg sodium.
