Low Salt Crackers

[Ericabear]

Hi, I find shopping for low salt snacks is a bit of a nightmare and my hubby craves a lot of foods that are "off my list"! Today we have found Ryvita Fruit Crunch ..... They have made it to my shopping list and hubby is over the moon. Am not saying these will suit everyone and their own dietary requirements, but they may be one to look out for as an option.Liz 🙂

I found that the snacks my kids had as toddlers were quite low salt, so if you can get your husband over the idea of eating toddler food, you might find some fun snacks.

He watches cartoons, so probably happy with toddler snacks! 😂 Thank you, will certainly check it out, appreciate your reply.

I have been using either unsalted, or low-salted, rice crackers.

Hi,

My absolute favourite snack - so good I have to ration myself to one a day!

I’ll check those out. Thank you. Nice to have a tip as do all the research and get stuck in a rut with things you know are ok for you for speed!

Likewise, I have been finding it difficult. Mazzo crackers have no salt - they are dull but a good base for a snack with a topping.. If he likes cheese, swiss cheeses are lowest in salt, they have very little. I love them too! (Cheese-o-holic!), Keep an eye out on packaging for salt content. I have found sauces, even marmite with low salt. The child snacks are a good idea and just be careful with how much you add to food. Lemon juice is a good substitute in lots of cooking. Remember he does need SOME salt daily, I made the mistake of overdoing it and got a lot of cramp.Find the right balance.

All the best

Kallo veggie cakes, caramelised onion flavour are my hubbies favourite, he loved his crisps and theses are very savoury and have filled the gap. 0.1g per cake. Thanks for the tip about ryvita, will put on shopping list x

[Ericabear in reply to Oldbits]

Ooh, thank you, will have to try those. He misses his crisps, but has Smiths Salt and shake ..... Less the salt, but very tasteless. Thanks for the info 🙂

Instead of the salt, try a pinch of smoked paprika.

Oooh , good tip, thank you! Does he like plain popcorn? It's a bit bland but I find it is quite good when watching a film etc.

[Ericabear in reply to catmum2]

Thank you, good shout! Another one to try 😊.

Thanks, I'll definitely try those. I really like the Kallo Hi

Kallo high protein lentil cakes, no salt. Just a fab savoury taste & great with a slice of cheese !

I realise they are not crackers, however, my one weekend day savoury treat; is a small handful, say 25 g, of unsalted roasted pistachios.

I buy the type in their semi-opened shells - slows down the munching rate, they usually seem fresher than bags of nude kernels, plus somehow it seems more of a reward; to have worked to liberate the tasty green kernels from their little beige shells.

(If any of them are not quite cooperatively open enough to prize the shells apart easily with your fingers; you can take one already opened shell half and use the pointy-end to lever the semi-open shells apart. No force needed, just a twisting action required).

I do just keep in mind: neither eating them around people I know have a tree nut allergy, nor when smaller children are around (i.e. of a suitable size to be choke hazard aware).

Father Christmas kindly sourced for me: a 200 g bag of "The Foodie Market" pistachios from Aldi. Clever chap. I have just this weekend finished that bag ...maybe the Easter Bunny knows Father Christmas? I hope so!

Hope the Easter Bunny and Santa are talking 😂
