I try to eat very low sodium lunches so that I can eat dinner with the family and still stay under 1000 mg of sodium a day. One of my favorite lunches features Gorton's Grilled Tilapia. They come two squares to a package and are seasoned and they are easily heated in the microwave. Each square is 140 mg of sodium.
I have found some frozen steamable rice dishes. I have found them at Walmart and Publix and Winn Dixie. There are several types. One is Minute Steamers with Brown Rice, Barley, Quinoa and Wild Rice. There is 0 sodium in this and the mixture of grains is very tasty.
There are also frozen steamable rice mixes is from Birds Eye. I have tried two of these. One has brown and wild rice with carrots, corn and peas. Another has brown and wild rice with broccoli and carrots. These have 20-25 mg sodium per cup. They are also good. I usually add a little Smart Balance low sodium spread and Mrs Dash to them to make them yummy.
I also sometimes include the Birds Eye frozen steamable vegetables with the rice and fish. These are very low sodium and I can add the low sodium Smart Balance and Mrs Dash to them as well. Smart Balance Low Sodium spread has a buttery flavor and is only 30 mg sodium per tablespoon.
These are healthy choices for a low sodium lunch or dinner.
