Top 25 High-Protein, Low-Sodium Snacks To Try

Summary: Want to build muscle and stay full without the extra bloat? You need high-protein snacks, but watch out—many packaged snacks are secretly loaded with salt! The daily recommended limit for sodium is just 2,300 milligrams (about one teaspoon), and too much can raise your blood pressure.

To keep your heart healthy and your stomach happy, try swapping out salty junk food for low-sodium, protein-packed alternatives. Some of the best options include salt-free cottage cheese (a massive 28 grams of protein!), plain Greek yogurt, hard-boiled eggs, unsalted edamame, and unsalted nuts like peanuts or almonds. These easy snacks give your body the fuel it needs without the sneaky sodium spike.
