These bars are high fiber, vegan (use nondairy milk), high protein, low sodium, zero added sugar, and just plain good. If you need a bit more sweetness, you can add some zero-sweetened brown sugar.
A low-salt diet doesn’t mean a flavorless life—we just need to be creative with herbs and spices.
One of my favorite Kidney Stone Diet safe snacks is popcorn. However, store-bought popcorn tends to be too salty and caloric—I say caloric because who on earth can only eat the listed serving size?!? Not me. To remedy this, I’ve create my own popcorn seasoning I think you’ll like. Zero-Sodium…
