Of course! I won’t beat myself up over it I’m just
A) seeing if it’s common to crave salt and
B) looking for suggestions for a healthy choice I may not have thought of
you could make some of your own salted vegetable chips as a quick snack - if you can wade through the self indulgent preamble, this recipe seems easy enough
If you’re not actually bothered about the salt but just want rid of the craving - the acid in pickled beets or onions would counteract the salt craving or try some kimchi if you wanted a bit more kick

YUM pickled stuff! Didn’t even think of that… on the hunt for a jar of cornichons I like them extra crunchy 
Air popped salted popcorn…cooked in a saucepan with a lid…or sprinkle with nutritional yeast. No oil required.

The smell of popcorn cooking is incredible isn’t it?

I have great success with tomato Huel: 300ml of tomato juice plus 2½ scoops of U/U Huel, topped up to 700ml with water, has exactly the same calories as a regular 3-scoops-plus-water mix if I remember right.
Add other stuff to taste: I like a good squeeze of sriracha and a pinch of celery salt. If you want a fancy version though you can use 100ml of Big Tom and 200ml of el cheapo tomato juice. If you use a blender (the above can be made just shaking), you can add peanut butter and chilli for a satay angle.
I’m not such a big fan of the sweet Huel, so working this recipe out has been a godsend for lunchtimes.

Kimchi on an oatcake is nice.

I’m also not a sweet-cravings person, I like all things salty and spicy however. But drinking a cold, thick, salty liquid is something I’m really hesitant to give a try 
If i have a salty carving, I was thinking to just eat soup (home-made with only vegetables and stock cubes) or carrot/celery sticks with a dip made with Greek yoghurt, garlic, salt and pepper.

@ROAG adding unflavoured Huel to homemade soup is a great way to thicken it and also add extra nutrients and protein. I make HueI soup regularly (usually carrot, butternut squash and spices). It’s really good.

@ChristinaT That’s a good idea! Won’t the cooking destroy some of the nutrients though?
I add it right at the end rather than boil it in with the rest of the ingredients.
So I cook the soup, then let it cool just slightly, then add the huel and use a stick blender to make it smooth.

Yes there is nothing to be scared of, there are plenty of videos on the www to gain inspiration from.

Admittedly this sounds a little weird, but it’s also a clever idea I would never have thought of! Thanks for the tip Christina I will give it a try…
