Low salt, low sugar, high protein, dairy free food.....

CrystalDreams

Do they exist? I am wondering....

I am getting sick of eating my oatmeal and vegan protein powder( that is getting hard to afford as well) with almond milk and my turkey burgers, and eggs. SO SICK OF EGGS! I need to branch out and get all experimental with my cooking.

Now that I have vented, I want to ask for help. Are there books or websites that have such recipes on them? Any advice is awesome. Thankyou

Try skinnytaste.com to start. Most things that you cook yourself will be low sodium, as long as you don't add salt. I never add salt while cooking - the consumers (my family) can always add it in at the end.

Dark greens and lots of other vegetables.

Are you a vegetarian?

Quinoa, vegetables, flax seed, beans, some nut butters. Those are just off the top of my head. No idea about web sites.

Beans are your friend. Some canned ones can be high in sodium, dried that need rehydrating aren't as bad. You can do a million things with beans.


ETA: I second quinoa. My two staples of foods are quinoa and beans. *Pigs out on greek quinoa salad for lunch*

i eat a lot of fish, chicken, piles and piles of vegetables. skinnytaste.com is a good starting point. i usually have to beef up the spices in her recipes. i also look to cookinglight.com often.

Chicken, lean ground beef, and fish...

I've been cooking my way through Let Them Eat Vegan. I also rely on recipes from ohsheglows.com and joyoushealth.com. The only problem with those two is that they don't count calories, so some recipes tend to be very calorie dense, but they're easy to substitute or otherwise play around with.

Lara bars, either store-bought or homemade. They don't have added sugar (just whatever naturally occurs in the dried fruit), and most don't have added salt. They have a ton of nuts in them and are good for about a 190-250 calorie snack. They can be a bit pricey, so try searching for homemade Lara bar recipes online; there are a lot of good links out there! I have a total dairy intolerance, but aren't vegetarian or vegan, so I feel your pain here :sad:

ohsheglows.com is a great vegan website if you are vegetarian there is a happy herbivore group here on MFP as well

Canned salmon! You can make patties or salads and all sorts of things with it, plus it's a good source of calcium.

ETA: as rtalencar85 says, most canned fish is high in sodium, but if you look for low-sodium versions they're out there! Cloverleaf has a low sodium salmon with only 85 mg per serving.

ArroganceInStep

canned fish and jerky are both very high in sodium.

I am deathly allergic to dairy... that's why I cant eat it. I love meat. The vegan protein powders tend to be really expensive and I have trouble affording them. Thank you.
