Have You Taken the Sunkist Sodium Quiz Yet?

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Sunkist S’alternative. All opinions are 100% mine.

Do you have any idea about your daily sodium intake?  If you are like me, I barely pay any attention to those numbers on the various foods you buy in the store!

Sunkist has a Sunkist Sodium Quiz on their Facebook page where you can find out where you fall on the sodium scale based on your daily food choices!  You can range from Serial Salt Offender to Sodium Smarty.  Invite your friends and compare results.  Unfortunately, I was a Shake & Baker, lol!

Along with healthy tips, the Sunkist S’alternative offers tips on how to use Sunkist lemons as a healthy sodium-free alternative to salt... go figure!  They will help you with ways to reduce your sodium intake, increase potassium and enhance the flavor of food by just using Sunkist lemons!They also offer a cool recipe...

Sunkist Lemon Seafood Paella

1 32oz can low sodium vegetable broth

1 cup dry white wine

1 tsp saffron threads

1 lb firm, fresh pieces of whitefish (eg. tilapia, bass, etc cut into 16-21 pieces)

1 lb mussels, cleaned and de-bearded

1 lb medium sized clams, rinsed

cup chopped fresh parsley

3 Sunkist lemons, zest and juice

3 Tbsp olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

3 cups uncooked short-grain rice (eg. Valencian, Arborio, etc)

1 cup frozen peas

1 8oz jar of sliced, roasted red peppers

 

Prepare broth by combining all ingredients in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer (don't boil).  Keep warm over low heat.

Heat 3 Tbsp olive oil in a large paella pan or skillet over med-high heat.  Add fish pieces to pan and saute 1 minute.  Remove fish, reserve, and keep warm.  Add onion to pan and saute 5 minutes.  Add lemon zest, garlic, and crushed red pepper.  Cook 5 minutes.  Add rice and cook 1 minute longer, stirring constantly.  Stir in broth and bring to low boil.  Cook 10 minutes, stirring frequently.

Stir in peas and red pepper slices.  Add mussels and clams.  Cook 5 minutes or until shells open. Discard any unopened shells.  Stir in reserved fish and chopped parsley, cook 5 more minutes.
