Why~~~!!!!?

Generally everything Healthy is sweet. I'm not exactly a sweet person.

I like salty things!!!!!! but it seems like everything healthy is sweet, fruits are sweet, protein bars, all those healthy products are alll sweet!

can anyone suggest some healthy salty tasting products?

    I definitely understand your frustration. I'm a savory girl myself.. What's your definition of "healthy"?

    Air Popped Popcorn with a little sea salt and no butter.
    Also Clif makes a "Trail Mix Bar" called Mojo and most of them are quite salty.

    If you sprinkle lime juice on things it makes them taste salty. A little trick I learn for adding salty taste w/ out the sodium being added :smile:

    My fav is Celery w/ lime juice

    I add it to soups to up the salty taste

    Generally everything Healthy is sweet.
    Only if you hate fat. Veggies, meat, cheese, nuts, etc...all healthy.

    Yeah there are pretty much no "bars" that I buy because they are just too sweet for me.

    It's a little more time consuming but, I buy things like Trader Joe's Rice crackers flavored with soy sauce (110 cal for 35), Trader Joe's Inner Peas (Dried sweet pea pods), and other small low calorie snacks then immediately put them into 100 calorie sandwich baggies when I get home. This way, I can grab one on my way out of the house easily.

    Rice cakes! I love Lundren rice cakes. One of my favorites is the Koku Seaweed flavor. Also, it may seem obvious, but crackers can be delicious. Also hummus.

    There are a lot of surprisingly high sodium (for the calories) veggies out there. A couple of examples are celery and beet greens.

    I find most bars sickeningly sweet and have recently found some that are lower in sugar. Larabar Uber has some flavors that might be worth a try. The Cherry Cobbler one still has a slight tang from the cherries. Kind Nuts and Spices Dark Chocolate and Sea Salt is definitely on the salty side (taste-wise, ratio to calories is not bad) and there are some other Kind Plus bars that are lower in sugar.

    Nuts are salty. You can get sea salt crackers. Tostito's chips really don't have a high sodium content but are salty tasting. I love this chicken recipe. I think it's so flavorful with the spices that I omit the salt. I also omit the butter because I think using the EVOO is plenty to cook with. Serve it with veggies, my kids love it with pasta and homemade alfredo sauce or you can add it to a salad.

    apple cider vinegar and balsamic vinegar, Also try gherkins pickles. They are salty and satisfying.
    I try to stay away from salty because it tends to make me crave more. I'm a sweet tooth gal...
