My Favorite No-Salt Seasonings

 Students in my prevention course always want to know…“What no-salt seasonings should I use?” 

I have used many over the years and here is my list of favorites.

From Penzey’s NO SALT: 

  • Mural of Flavor
  • Sunny Paris
  • Tuscan Sunset
  • Bavarian Seasoning
  • Fox Point
  • Penzey’s Pizza Seasoning* 
  • California Seasoned Pepper 
  • Italian Herb Mix
  • Herbs De Provence

*For whatever reason, it just says “spices” on the ingredient list, but after digging for what the spices are, this is what Penzey says: Fennel, Basil, Oregano, and Garlic

From Mrs. Dash (NO SALT):

  • Steak Grilling Blend
  • Chicken Grilling Blend
  • Table Blend
  • Fiesta Lime
  • Garlic and Herb
  • Onion and Herb
  • Italian Medley
  • Extra Spicy (2 pack)

Starter Sets (No or Low Salt)

  • Flavor God Chef Spice Set*
  • Flavor God Classic Combo Pack*
  • Flavor God Party Combo Pack*
  • Mrs. Dash Variety Beginner Set
  • Mrs. Dash Extra Spicy Set
  • No Salt For You! Savory Grill Spice Set


Jill’s Personal Taco Seasoning Recipe (No Salt)

  • 1 Tbsp. chili powder (no salt)
  • 2 tsp. onion powder
  • 1 tsp. cumin
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1 tsp. paprika (smoked or plain)
  • 1/2 tsp. freshly ground pepper

Store leftovers with your other spices!

You will note that the first three seasonings in the starter set list will have a bit of salt (I have them asterisked). Please pay attention to the portion size because it will add up. 

You might ask, “Well, why the heck are you including them, Jill?” Glad you asked. I include them for newbies who may need to slow their roll on salt reduction. Going from high sodium to NO salt seasoning might dishearten some. It takes time for your taste buds to get used to a very low-salt diet. My objective is to have you go slow. If you hate what you are eating, you will give up. I hope that makes sense. 

You will also note that some of the ingredients of the seasonings will have a lemon or orange peel, and one of the seasonings has turmeric. Remember folks. Oxalate always comes down to quantity. Portion NOT Perfection. These items have very little turmeric or lemon/orange peel, not enough to cause a stone. Promise.

Let me know some of your favs! I can add them to the list!

Happy Mother’s Day to those with kids and/or fur babies!

Your friend and advocate,
Jill

    Jill, I must be blind or you have it under a different name here. But, I cannot find the “tajin’ seasoning recipe here. Please advise.

    Is fairlife or core protein drink a good source of getting your calcium in daily? I’m a kidney stone former since early twenties and I’m mid sixty’s and have a hard time meeting that calcium goal.

      Hi Deborah,
      Yes, they are. Just do not exceed 500 mg of calcium at any one sitting. So for the core protein drinks you will have to split up the portion.

    Jill are there any actual spices that are high in oxalates? I threw away all the spices I had with salt and now just have plain herbs and spices and I bought extracts for lemon, limes. peppermint, almond and sesame.

“The Kidney Stone Diet is far more than just a diet; this plan is life-altering!”

“The group calls will transform you physically and emotionally. Once you start this journey, your health naturally improves. I have lost a total of 40 pounds and have consistently kept it off. The group calls are such support; this is more like family than a zoom meeting to stay accountable. Jill is far more than a nurse; she is a life coach. Her platform is invaluable.”

Kim J. | Kidney Stone Prevention Course

“The best decision I’ve made has been to join this group.”

“I have been working on weight loss for many years. This group has kept me on track and has helped my continued success with my weight loss.”

Kate L. | Group Calls with Jill

“I have been following the Meal Plan for about 6 weeks and I feel amazing.”

“Eating healthy has also encouraged me to go to bed earlier, so I am also getting more sleep. Because of that, I have been able to get up before work and exercise! So yes, the positive effects are spilling over into all areas of a healthy lifestyle.”

Jerry T. | Meal Plan Subscriber

“I have been a part of the group calls with Jill for the last 14 months, and they are essential to being so successful with the Kidney Stone Diet Prevention Plan.”

Sarah B. | Group Calls with Jill

“These calls are the gold of this program!!”

“I can’t say enough about how Jill knows just the right questions to ask us or how she prods us to think about what is going on in our lives.”

Monica K. | Group Calls with Jill

“I took the course with Jill, and my second 24 hour urine was MUCH better than the first.”

“She gives very practical information, and it WORKS. I was totally overwhelmed at first. I got very poor diet information from my doctors. Jill made it easy for me to understand, and I took it one day at a time. I still watch her videos when I need a tune-up. Jill is the best, and she really cares about all of us. Take the course—it will help you!!!”
