Yogurt? Low sodium bread?

[jd03pd]

Anyone out there know some good brands of low sodium bread?

Also, is it okay to eat any flavor of yogurt as long as it is fat free? Or should I try to stick with plain?

I ~personally~ think that if a yogurt is fat free and artificially sweetened, it is fine in any flavor. I know many who will disagree with me though!

Low sodium breads can be hard to find and that's why a lot of people end up making their own. When I had PPH last summer I found that it was next to impossible to find low sodium bread. Here are a couple links though.

(this link has a lot of interesting stuff so I'm posting it but here's the bit about bread) http://www.lowsodiumcooking.com/free/IngredientSources.htm Bread - If you are like most people, one of the biggest single changes that you can make to reduce your sodium intake is to make your own bread. Most commercial bread has well over 100 mg per slice. Many rolls and specialty breads like muffins and bagels are in the 300-400 mg range. A bread machine can reduce the amount of effort required to make your own yeast bread to a manageable level. It takes at most 10 minutes to load it and turn it on. You can even set it on a timer to have your house filled with the aroma of fresh bread when you come home. And you have the satisfaction of knowing that great taste of warm bread is accompanied by a single digit sodium count. You will read that the salt in bread recipes is required to help control the yeast. Don't believe it. Other than an occasional loaf that has risen too fast and fallen in on top, I've not had a problem. Even in the rare times when that happens, it still tastes just as good. Reducing the amount of yeast the next time you use that recipe usually solves the problem. If you decide to purchase your bread you should read the label carefully. Stores here like Safeway and Giant have carried low sodium bread, but it's getting harder to find. Pita bread low in sodium may be available. There are also several national brands that make salt free bread. Both Alvarado Street Bakery and Food For Life make no salt added sprouted grain bread that is carried nationally in grocery chains and organic food stores. Salt Watcher also has the Food For Life Ezekiel 4:19 low sodium bread,

This site is actually selling a variety of low sodium products like breadsticks and pizza crust!!! http://eatlowsodium.com/osc/bread-c-46.html

Yeah, I figured I would just make my own low sodium bread if there wasn't any to readily buy.

I was looking at the Yoplait Light and Creamy yogurts yesterday at Walmart, and there were a lot of yummy flavors! I didn't look any further, but I also couldn't really find any no fat/low fat plain yogurt. I figured I'd only have one a day at lunch...

Dannon Light and Fit is 20 calories less than Yoplait, plus it has 0% fat and aspertame. I'll check this one out too!
