10 Low Sodium Snacks for Kidney Disease from Costco
These low sodium snacks are sure to keep you full and satisfied while confidently managing chronic kidney disease. There are so many things you have to look for when grocery shopping with kidney disease, so I took the guesswork out of it for you! Here are 10 low sodium snacks you can find at Costco! All of these are under 350 mg of sodium per serving and are easy and quick to grab when you’re super busy.
1. Kirkland Applesauce

Pair this applesauce with low sodium nuts for a well balanced snack. 1 serving contains 0 mg sodium, 80 mg potassium and no added sugar!
2. Unsalted mixed nuts

This unsalted nut mix would be great paired with applesauce and only contains 3 mg sodium, 350 mg potassium, only 3 g sugar and 4 g fiber per serving.
3. Skinny pop popcorn

Skinny Pop Popcorn is one of my favorite late night snacks for kidney disease with only 75 mg sodium, 40 mg potassium, 0 g sugar and 3 g fiber.
4. Crunchmaster crackers

These Crunchmaster Multi-Grain Crackers are the best crackers for kidney disease. Pair with hummus and vegetables for added nutrients and fiber! Only 150 mg sodium, 0 mg potassium with no added sugar.
5. That’s it bars

These That’s it fruit bars are made only from fruit and contain only 15 mg sodium or less, 190 mg potassium or less with no added sugar. They are great paired with nuts or nut butter for a well balanced, fiber rich snack for blood sugar balance!
6. Trail mix snack packs

These trail mix snack packs are a great grab and go snack for those with kidney disease with only 0 mg sodium, 150 mg potassium and 8 g of added sugar or less. The Omega 3 trail mix pack is one of my favorites!
7. Apple chips

Looking for renal diet snacks with a little crunch? These apple chips give crunch without the extra sodium with 0 mg sodium, 210 mg potassium, 4 g fiber and no added sugar.
8. Pea crisps

Another low sodium snack that gives a little crunch while still qualifying as a kidney friendly snack are these Harvest Snaps Pea Crisps. They’re lightly salted, so only contain 70 mg sodium, 200 mg potassium, 4 g fiber and no added sugar.
9. Pumpkin flax granola

Add these to a bowl with almond milk or your favorite plant-based yogurt for a delicious, sweet treat packed with plant-based protein and fiber rich carbs. Plus, they only contain 45 mg sodium, 184 mg potassium, 5 g fiber for blood sugar balance.
10. Jalapeno lime tortilla chips

These Late July Jalapeño Lime chips are one of my favorite low sodium chips with only 150 mg sodium, 230 mg potassium, 3 g fiber and 1 g of added sugar.
Tip: Including veggies with your snacks can be so beneficial for chronic kidney disease and can help to add more fiber, vitamins and minerals too!
If grocery shopping feels like a burden and you often leave feeling frustrated and overwhelmed, you’re not alone! With chronic kidney disease there is so much you have to be aware of. I hope this list of low sodium snacks from Costco helps to relieve some of your stress.

Thanks for the examples.
I spend tons of time on the computer trying to figure out how much phosphorus is not only in all kinds of natural foods, but also how much of it will actually be used in my body vs going through. (I don’t buy things with any of the phosphorus/chemical additives) Any/all lists of vegies, legumes/beans, fruits, etc (no meat, or dairy)? I have Osteoporosis plus CKD (I work out every day unless too much back or foot pain), so any suggestions (including doctors who deal with that combination) greatly appreciated!!! Thanks, JS

Hi Julie! Thank you so much for your comment. Phosphorus can be so tricky! Typically, as long as you are avoiding phosphate additives in foods (these are mostly found in ultra-processed foods), then you don’t need to keep track of how much phosphorus you’re getting in a day from food. That is so time consuming and almost impossible because of the different absorption rates! I actually have a free meal plan guide/grocery list that includes lower sodium, phosphate additive free, and more plant based foods choices for CKD.

Hi Cathy! Yes, they are! I would suggest having some cashews with some fruit or veggies for a filling and balanced snack!
