Soy sauce
Regular soy sauce is about 920 mg per 1 Tbsp, which means that it is out of Matt's diet.
The Braggs liquid Soy Seasoning is 960 mg per 1 Tbsp, so it is out too!
Low Sodium Soy Sauce is 580 mg per 1 Tbsp. Therefore Matt uses it sparingly with his sushi.
I have tried making homemade soy sauce.. which was OK..
Here is the receipe:
2 T Sodium Free Beef Bouillon
2 t Red Wine Vinegar
1 t Molasses
1/8 t Ground Ginger
dash Black Pepper
dash Garlic Powder
3/4 c Water
In small sauce pan, combine and boil gently uncovered about 5 minutes or til mixture is reduced to 1/2 cup. Store in refrigerator. Stir before using.
Cereal
The amount of sodium really varies with cereal. This is Matt's current low sodium favourite.. 50mg/ 3/4 Cup.
We get this at Costco, but I am sure I have seen it elsewhere.
Mr. Spice
I am not sure where we would be without Mr. Spice. Matt's favourite flavours are the hot wings (not shown here) and the Honey BBQ. There is an amazing line: http://www.mrspice.com/
I haven't found a store that carries all of them. Whole Foods probably has the most variety.
Salsa
Our search for the best low sodium salsa continues. Today we found the Que Pasa fresh salsa at Costco. It is really quite low.. 1/4 C for 150mg.
Salad dressing- Little Creek
After we fell in love with the Little Creek Caesar dressing, we tried the Vinaigrette. It is great!
We found it at Nourish Market in Lynn Valley Library Square but I have also seen it at Queensbusy Market.

Peanut butter
Most natural peanut butter have little or no salt. This one is our favourite from Thrifty's, with 0mg of sodium.
