When Only Salt Will Do

Do ever get that snack craving and only something salty will satisfy? What do you reach for? I love to spread a little cream cheese on a saltine cracker and top it with a sliced green olive. Delicious and salty enough to calm those cravings.

I do get that craving and that's why I always have one or two bags of potato chips around.

My baked kale chips which I put salt on. Don't eat potato chips anymore.

I don't eat processed foods & I need to be sure to use extra salt every day. If I don't I will find myself consuming mustard out of the bottle.

Lately, I like to add Himalayan Pink Salt to my guacamole. Sometimes I reach for a dill pickle.

Himalayan Pink Salt is wonderful. I use a LOT of it. Fabulous!

Anyway, what do I reach for? Pistachios!

A big dill pickle is good......salty and crunchy too......baked bagel chips topped with melted cheddar and jalapeño sliced peppers are salty, crunchy and hot!!!

I always try to keep this around:

*low-fat popcorn (whole grain, low-fat, high fiber, & more antioxidants than veggies or fruits)

AND most times one of the following:

*Utz Multigrain pretzels (low-fat & high fiber)

*Lays Lightly Salted potato chips (low-fat & high potassium)

*tortilla chips (low-fat, whole grain, & even more fiber if you get the multi-grain variety)

I only use sea salt on other stuff for taste, BTW.

I make ugly fries. These are basically fine green beans that have been tossed in olive oil and roasted until they are brown and crispy. They are called ugly fries because they don't look very appetizing...all shriveled and brown. But once you put salt on them, they sure are yummy! I've also deep fried them when I've been too impatient to wait for them to roast (it takes a while for them to get crispy in the oven). No coating or anything - just plop them naked into the oil and cook until crunchy.

I also like roasted chickpeas. Same idea - until crispy and add salt!

Pretzel chips. Only 10 calories apiece. The package says 11 pieces is a serving, but 4 or 5 are enough.

Hmmm I never get a salt craving. I gave up consuming any sodium 33 years ago while pregnant with my first. I cook and eat totally salt free and loving it! I know I've forwarded off many health issues by eating this way. Salt is an acquired taste...the more you eat the more you crave.

When only salt will do, I take a chunk of salt, one piece of the Pink is good and let that melt on my tongue for just a moment or two before discarding the rest. I LOVE salt and that does the trick. no more craving.

I rarely do, but then I want McDonald's french fries. That's the only thing I like salty.

I have a jar of coarse Himalayan Pink Salt, too. I do the same as you; it is like healthy rock candy salt.

I'm pretty active & combined with my healthy nutrition and water intake my electrolytes can get depleted. My sodium level was borderline low not long ago so I made a point of using a bit more salt.

I have a terrible issue with potato chips. I know its from the salt. I now order Kettle Chips from Amazon in the one ounce size. One bag every couple days takes care of it for me. Otherwise I will buy a large bag at the market and consume the entire thing. An open bag is something I can't deal with. Sealed bags, OK.

Either salted peanuts or freshly popped, non-GMO popcorn.
