Healthie Hacks ~ Reduce Sodium Without Giving Up Your Favorite Brands

 

Do you need to reduce your sodium intake but don't want to give up some of your higher sodium favorites? A low sodium diet doesn't have to be difficult. I've got a hack that's gonna help you. I've been using this trick for about a year now, since my cardiologist put me on a low sodium diet because of high blood pressure. Not only will it help you keep your favorite brands, but most of the products that I show you in this video are condiments, sauces, etc. which are difficult to even find a low sodium option for, no matter the brand. I didn't want to give up condiments and sauces all together. Nor did I want to let them blow my sodium limit for the day. So I came up with this "hack" to make them work in my diet. I hope it helps you too.

Quick Tip ~ How to Keep Avocado from Browning

I absolutely LOVE avocado!  But, they brown so fast..  I'm never able to eat a whole avocado at once and I need to store half until the next day.  I found myself not eating as much avocado as I'd like because I didn't want to see half go to waste every time.  

A Pinterest search concluded that I should drizzle the avocado with lemon juice or lime juice to prevent browning.  That may work fine if you intend to use it for quacamole or avocado mash to spread on toast.  Adding a liquid, especially an acidic liquid, just results in a mushy mess.  I prefer mine sliced fresh, so the mushy method is not my favorite.

Through a deeper search, I found that storing your avocado half in a container along with cut onion prevents browning as well.  Awesome!  I can have fresh avocado the next day without the mush!  It worked wonderfully...  until the day I needed to store a half and didn't have a fresh onion...  

Hmmm...  What to do??  I decided to check my spice cabinet for onion powder and give that a try.  At this point my avocado was already cut and I had nothing to lose.  It was a waste for sure if I didn't at least try.
