I’m looking for some tasty low-sodium, heart-healthy snack ideas. A little bit of oil is fine.

Lately, I’ve been enjoying popcorn seasoned with Mrs. Dash, nutritional yeast, and olive oil. I’d love to hear any other suggestions you might have!

I’m working on reducing my salt intake. Thanks!

    It’s great that you’re focusing on low-sodium, heart-healthy snacks! Here are some tasty options to consider:

    1. Veggies and Hummus: Cut up some fresh veggies like carrots, bell peppers, cucumber, and celery, and dip them in homemade or store-bought low-sodium hummus.

    2. Roasted Chickpeas: Toss canned chickpeas (rinsed and drained) with a little olive oil and your favorite spices (like paprika or garlic powder) and roast them until crispy for a satisfying crunch.

    3. Nut Mix: Make a low-sodium trail mix with unsalted nuts, seeds, and a bit of dried fruit for sweetness. Just be mindful of portion sizes since nuts can be calorie-dense.

    4. Rice Cakes with Avocado: Spread mashed avocado on plain rice cakes and top with lime juice and a sprinkle of chili flakes for some heat.

    5. Apple Slices with Nut Butter: Slice up some apples and dip them in unsweetened almond butter or peanut butter for a sweet and satisfying snack.

    6. Greek Yogurt with Berries: Enjoy plain Greek yogurt topped with fresh berries and a drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of cinnamon to add flavor without sodium.

    7. Baked Kale Chips: Toss kale leaves with a little olive oil and your favorite seasonings, then bake until crispy for a crunchy, nutrient-rich snack.

    8. Cottage Cheese with Pineapple: Opt for low-sodium cottage cheese topped with fresh pineapple or peach slices for a tasty and protein-rich snack.

    9. Stuffed Bell Peppers: Use small bell peppers and stuff them with a mixture of quinoa, black beans, and veggies. Season with herbs and spices.

    10. Oven-Baked Sweet Potato Fries: Slice sweet potatoes into fries, toss with a little olive oil and spices, and bake until crispy for a delicious alternative to traditional fries.

    These options not only keep your sodium intake low but also provide heart-healthy nutrients. Enjoy your snacking journey!
