Low Sodium Marinara Sauce paired with Mussels and Pasta
Low Sodium Marinara Sauce w/ Mussels
One of our favorite dishes is Mussels with Low Sodium Marinara Sauce. We like using Low Sodium Marinara because the mussels are so darn healthy! Why do we love mussels? The high amount of protein is hefty! They have a whopping 20 grams of protein in only 3 ounces. Plus the benefits of mussels are a good reason for you to start adding them into your diet.
- If you are consuming foods rich in high-quality protein, this will aid in you losing weight.
- Mussels are low in saturated fat but are rich in omega-3 fatty acids which is a heart healthy fact!
Mussels can be cooked in or out of their shells and are available frozen. The high amount of protein helps you build muscle and lose fat. What better reason to eat a low sodium Marinara protein dish that is loaded with protein. This dish is best topped with fresh parmesan and lemon. Add a fresh salad and your meal is complete.

I love mussels but I don’t live in an area where they are easy to come by and if they are, they aren’t very affordable. This looks amazing.
