Spicing Up Your Renal Diet

Spicing Up Your Renal Diet - kidney talk

As kidney patients, we’re know that the renal diet can be challenging, especially restricting salt. But you don’t have to miss out on flavor if you know how to be creative. Lori’s favorite recipe is turkey tacos, using ground turkey instead of ground beef to reduce calories and cholesterol. For Stephen, cooking Italian food is his favorite. Because his wife is a vegetarian, he adds tofu to his homemade sauce. Voila… creativity!

Kidney patients have a variety of spices, herbs, and other flavorings to choose from. Today we learn ways to spice up your renal diet by replacing salt with herbs or other flavorings. Here’s to adding a little flavor to your life!
