Eating low sodium doesn’t have to be bland, boring, or expensive - and Aldi has some surprisingly great options that I use all the time. Here are a few of my go-to staples and what I make with them.
When grocery shopping, I go back and forth between a few stores to get what I need. It's either Target, Costco, or Aldi that has the best stuff. If you haven't been shopping at Aldi, you're missing out. Especially, right now, because grocery prices are through the roof. That's why I go back and forth between 3 different stores to get the best deals as well. Sorry, that broth is from Target brand but Simply Nature has a low-sodium broth.
I will continue to add to this low-sodium list the more I find. If you have anything you like feel free to add in the comments below.

Total: ~375–400mg

All of these make it easy to stick to 500–600mg sodium meals without sacrificing flavor, and all from Aldi, so it doesn’t break the budget either. I’ll keep updating this list as I find more! If you like more posts like this check out Aldi Charcuterie Board or Aldi Charcuterie Board.
