Blueberry Renal Diet-July is “National Blueberry Month”
Blueberries are one in hand full of fruits that are available year round and July, which is high harvest, is National Blueberry Month. North American blueberries are grown to be available from March to October and are grown in approximately 32 states in the Untied States. Blueberries are made avaialable frozen, fresh, dried, juice and canned and add color and flavor to many dishes including sauces, smoothies, breads, desserts and salads. They also make a great snack food eaten fresh by themselves. Blueberries can be incorportated into certain recipes for renal diets but are good for renal diets by themselves. Portion is the key and the additional ingredients are critcial to predialysis, predialysis diabetics and dialysis patients. A 1/2 cup serving of blueberries is just 40 calories, 9 mg Phosphorus and 72 mg Potassium. Blueberries are excellent sources of Vitamin C, Dietary Fiber and manganese. They are also known to have antioxidant properties. Blueberry renal diet can go hand in hand if you choose the right recipe!
Many growing states have blueberry festivals, for a list of blueberry festivals in your area visit www.blueberry.org/festivals.htm.

Dairy Products and the Pre-Dialysis Diet: Which Ones and How Much?
Individuals with kidney disease should be careful with dairy products, since many contain large amounts of phosphorous. Diseased kidneys have difficulty processing phosphorous, and high levels can speed the loss of kidney function, as well as cause blood levels of calcium to drop. If you are in stages 2 – 4, you probably don’t have to worry a lot about how much phosphorus you are drinking or eating, but caution is advised. Your doctor will tell you when you need to start working on limiting phosphorus as well as other minerals. Most people are limiting dairy because of the need to limit protein in addition to the phosphorus levels.
When calcium in the blood decreases, the bones release more calcium and phosphorous in a vicious cycle. When bones release calcium, they become deficient, creating bone deterioration which causes them to become brittle, and more susceptible to fracture. In addition, joints can become enlarged and/or painful.
The release of calcium in the bloodstream creates all kinds of havoc if levels get too high, including constipation, decreased alertness, and abnormalities of the heart rhythm. The combination of high levels of calcium and phosphorous also create hardened deposits in various parts of the body, especially in the arteries and heart valves. Obviously this is a bad thing, and your doctor or nephrologist will be testing your blood levels on a regular basis to ensure it doesn’t get out of hand.
Although there are various methods to manage the level of phosphorous in your blood, such as phosphate-binding medicines, one of the best approaches is to decrease the amount of phosphorous you eat.
So what kinds of foods have high levels of phosphorous?
As mentioned earlier, dairy products top the list. If you’re a milk and cheese lover, this might sound ominous, but the fact is, there are many dairy products that you can still enjoy. You just have to pick the right ones, in the right amounts.
Opinions vary, but some experts feel that 800-1200 mg of phosphorous a day for the pre-dialysis diet is a good goal. Of course, this varies per individual, and you should always follow your doctor’s and renal dietitian’s advice for your particular situation.
So what kinds of dairy and how much? Usually half a cup of milk, half a cup of yogurt, or one ounce of cheese per day. Limit yourself to one serving per day. And watch your intake of low-fat milk, since it can actually contain higher levels of calcium and phosphorous than whole milk. If you are looking to increase your calories, you might want to choose 2% or whole milk instead of low fat milk.
There are some great alternatives to regular dairy products today, including soy milk and nondairy creamer. Rice milk and almond milk are also good, but you have to be careful about the amounts of potassium, phosphorous and protein in milk alternatives. Be sure to check labels on these products to see what’s hidden that could be bad for your kidneys.
Can’t find potassium and phosphorous listed? That’s a common problem, since, unfortunately, those are two ingredients that food manufacturers aren’t required to spell out. You can check out the listings of phosphorus and potassium amounts in foods using our quick guide: Potassium and Phosphorus Lists
If you love milk, here’s a list of milk alternatives that will help you to both satisfy your cravings and protect your kidneys.

Brie (1 oz)
Cream Cheese (2 Tbsp)
Feta Cheese (1 oz)
Ice cream (1/2 cup)
Half & Half (1/2 cup)
Grated Parmesan Cheese (2 Tbsp)
Sour Cream (2 Tbsp)
Whipping Cream (1/2 cup)
If you want more choices, these are moderately high in phosphorous (110-160 mg per serving), so you’ll have to watch your totals:

Cottage Cheese (1/2 cup)
Custard (1/2 cup)
Fat-free cream cheese (2 Tbsp)
Mozzarella cheese (1 oz)

A Low Phosphorus Diet is Important For Pre-Dialysis Kidney Disease
Renal Diet Menu – Ways To Make Your Meals Better
Holiday Eating With Non Dialysis Kidney Disease
July 1, 2013
What Fresh Fruits and Vegetables Should I Choose This Summer for Pre Dialysis Kidney Failure?
When you have been diagnosed with pre dialysis kidney failure, making wise dietary choices is one of the best strategies to extend your life. You know that you need to eat right to get your kidney failure under control. And you want some variety when you are eating, so choosing fresh fruits and vegetables when they are in season is a great way to get a good meal with a lower cost.
Research studies have shown that a diet high in sodium or too high in protein overtaxes the kidneys when their functioning is impaired. However, both these dietary guidelines are easily achieved when you plan the fruit and veggie component of your diet. That’s because fresh fruits and vegetables are naturally low in sodium and in protein. So using them to make up over 1/2 of your plate makes your meal naturally healthier.
The Fact That Can Reduce Your Sodium by 41%
But there are ways to easily increase the sodium content of fresh vegetables and fruits, and the food industry has discovered them! For example, canned black beans score up to 480 mg sodium per half cup serving. The secret for those in pre dialysis kidney failure is to drain and rinse the beans or cook them yourself without added salt. Reading the label is key.
By doing this, you can reduce the sodium by 41%, which is reported in one study at a Tennessee university. That means that now the sodium level is 196 mg per half cup, about 10% of the day’s entitlement for sodium. At this point, you can make a decision: does my sodium intake for the rest of the day allow me to eat one serving of the beans, or would half a serving be better?
That is one of the best ways to manage through your day – look at what you are eating and determine what you can eat more of and what you need to eat less of. Sounds easy, right? I know it’s not. Remember, we have a guide for learning about low potassium and phosphorus foods. Click here now to learn more.
Vegetables – To Eat or Not Eat
Eating vegetables that are raw or steamed, simmered at low temperatures, or grilled without added salt is the best way to stay within your dietary guidelines. Vegetables such as green beans, artichokes, broccoli, cauliflower, asparagus, cabbage, lettuce, onions, garlic, herbs from your herb garden, zucchini, parsnips, green leafy vegetables, and carrots are some of the many vegetables you will enjoy this summer. If you want to know about more vegetables to grow in your garden – read our article about renal diet gardening by clicking here.
On the other hand, stay away from processed potatoes (French fries, chips). If you really love potatoes eat them less often and consider boiling red potatoes and refrigerating them. Eating them cold has been found to decrease the Glycemic Index (GI) because the sugars aren’t absorbed as rapidly. Or choose rice and noodles instead.
How to Make Low Sodium Fruits Into High Sodium Ones
Generally, people don’t think about adding salt to fruits so how can a low-sodium fruit become high sodium? The answer is that they are combined with other foods that are high in sodium.
Fruits can be magically transformed from low sodium to high sodium when they’re added to pies, cakes, or cookies. Baked goods are generally high in sodium, so either making baked goods yourself with low sodium leavening agents and without salt or not eating them at all are the best solutions.
Fruits That Are Great Choices Deserve Consideration
As a pre dialysis kidney failure patient, you can essentially have any type of raw fruit. However, think about what’s in your absolute best interest. If you have diabetes too, then eating fruits moderately high or high on the Glycemic Index is not the smartest move. These fruits include grapes, most dried fruits, dates, figs, bananas, and raisins. Some of these foods may not be exceptionally high on the GI scale, but nevertheless, they may be enough to affect your blood sugar and keep it high.
High blood sugar will contribute to all types of complications from degenerative diseases, including diabetes and kidney disease. On the other hand, a low Glycemic Index diet slows the progression of all degenerative diseases. Low GI fruits include quite a variety: apples, oranges, grapefruit, lemon, lime, blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, and cherries, as examples. Most of those are also the low potassium fruits – so doubly good.
See how easily it is to make smart food choices? Now go make them, and have the best summer yet! You are well on your way to being in control of your renal pre dialysis kidney failure and slowing the progression of kidney disease. Want to learn more about our programs?

The primary considerations are that your foods are low protein and low sodium, both easily achievable – and good-tasting as well. Read on for some gourmet menu ideas that will more than satisfy your taste buds and create a little wonder and amazement at what you’re eating from everyone else at the picnic.
Gourmet Burgers Spice Up Any Picnic!

Ingredients 1 pound grass-fed ground buffalo (or beef) 1 sweet onion, diced finely ½ tsp ground oregano 1 Tablespoon horseradish grated 2 eggs 2/3 cup low-sodium pineapple tomato salsa
Instructions Make this burger mix the day of your picnic. Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl. Form into nine burgers and stack them with saran wrap in between each other. Wrap the stack with tinfoil, place in a ziplock bag, seal the bag and take to the picnic. Once at the picnic, cook the burgers inside tinfoil placed on top of the grill until done. The tinfoil seals the flavor inside each burger. These burgers are known for their ‘bite’. And the great thing is that the horseradish, onions, pineapple and tomatoes are full of phytonutrients that help boost your immunity and clean out your sinuses!
Notes Serve only with low sodium condiments. One tablespoon of regular mustard or ketchup contains about 168 mg sodium for each although a tablespoon of mayonnaise is less – 105 mg. The low-sodium versions of these foods can make a big difference for your kidney health.

What About Other Picnic Foods?
Since the average white hamburger bun contains 200 mg sodium, you can opt to go even more gourmet than just with the burgers. Simply wrap your cooked burger in lettuce leaves. It’s what some fine restaurants do! Add pineapple tomato salsa on top of the burger if you would like even more of a burst of flavor.
One thing that makes picnics great is many different foods to choose from. When you have CKD, your variety means lots of vegetable and fruit dishes, which are naturally low in sodium. By adding passionate flavors that delight and excite the taste buds to these foods, your picnic guests will look at their own food as boring!
Here are some ideas on how to mix different flavors together in vegetable and fruit dishes:
Apple-Cherry-Coconut- Celery-Fennel Salad
Mix the following ingredients: 1 diced apple, 1 cup pitted cherries, ½ cup coconut flakes (unsweetened), ½ cup diced celery, and ½ cup diced fennel bulb. Sprinkle the juice of one lemon on top. Mix thoroughly and refrigerate ‘til picnic time.
Zucchini-Baby Corns-Baby Lentils-Cherry Tomato Salad
Mix the following ingredients together: 1 diced zucchini, 1 can baby corns drained and rinsed well to cut down on sodium, 2/3 cup baby lentils already cooked, 12 cherry tomatoes, juice of one lime, ½ cup balsamic vinegar, and ¼ cup oil. Refrigerate so flavors will mingle.
Sauerkraut-Rice-Hot Pepper Salad
Mix the following ingredients: 1 cup low-sodium sauerkraut purchased in the refrigerated section at the grocery store, 2 cups steamed short-grain rice, and 2 mild to hot chili peppers that have been de-seeded and diced. Refrigerate so that flavors will mix overnight.
Hot peppers contain capsaicin, excellent for heart health. The sauerkraut lowers the Glycemic Index of the meal so that just in case you cheat with a dessert you shouldn’t have, the damage won’t be so bad. Sauerkraut also is full of probiotics that help your digestive system as well.

Renal Diet Grocery List – Canned Vs. Fresh Vegetables
If you live in an area where fresh vegetables are not readily available or affordable, you may feel your options are limited to canned vegetables. It may also be the case that fresh vegetables are not available at this time of year for you to choose. If this is the situation that you are facing, you must consider many factors when choosing these items.
With kidney disease, you must take care to limit your consumption of protein, sodium, potassium, and phosphorus. You may need to watch your carbohydrate intake if you have diabetes as well. Unfortunately, because of these factors, canned vegetables can be a little trickier to pick than fresh vegetables. Don’t forget you can choose frozen vegetables, and they are similar in nutritional content to what a fresh vegetable would be. So they may be a great compromise when you are really wanting to use fresh vegetables but they are not available. And remember, even though they may cost a little more, you will be eating less meat or protein so your grocery bill should be in a better place!
Sodium
Generally, canned foods are high in sodium. Fortunately, these items also are required to list the sodium content on the nutrition label. This part of the label can be consulted to see if the item would be acceptable or not. The percent daily value (%DV) that is on the food label should be no more than 6-10% to stay within the limits of your pre-dialysis renal diet. Most canned foods are significantly higher than this amount. Look for items that are marked sodium free, very low sodium or low sodium. Items are marked as reduced sodium or light in sodium may be reduced to an acceptable level . Sometimes these canned foods are still are a sodium level that is too high for your intake.
Another tip – you can rinse canned vegetables and reduce the sodium content by an average of 35%. It’s a great way to use regular canned vegetables if you already have them in the house and don’t want to discard them.
Potassium
Sometimes if there is no salt added, there may be added potassium. You can notice if this is the case by checking the ingredient list. One form of potassium that is often used as a salt substitute is potassium chloride. If this is added, usually the food is too high in potassium to consume. When reading the label, check for the word potassium in the ingredient listing – if it’s at the top, you probably have too much.
Potassium is not required to be marked on nutrition labels, yet some manufactures add it for certain products. If a food is under 200mg the RDA may label it as 6%. This is what is acceptable for you intake. If it is 100mg or 3% the RDA, this is a low potassium food. If the item is above 6% it is too high for your current intake.
If potassium is not listed, you still need to be careful. You must be aware of vegetables that are low in potassium. If you are not sure, it is better to make note of the vegetable and check before you risk it being high in potassium.
Phosphorus
Labels are not required to post the phosphorus in foods either. If it is posted as an RDI (recommended dietary intake) make sure it is under 15%. These foods would be 150mg. If an item is 50mg (5%) or less it is a low phosphorus food. More than 15% is considered a high phosphorus food and should be avoided if your levels are high, which your doctor or dietitian can help you determine based on labs. Canned beans (black beans, re-fried beans, kidney beans) are particularly high in phosphorus and should be avoided. Canned green beans and mixed vegetables are lower in phosphorus.
Check out our listing of potassium and phosphorus levels of a lot of foods and a huge variety of foods right now – go to the store armed with the list! Click Here
Carbohydrates
Sometimes canned vegetables have added sugar. If you have diabetes, you should be particularly concerned with this value. One carbohydrate serving is considered 15g. This information can be found in the “total carbohydrates” category on the food label. Total sugar that is in a food is grouped into this value, making it a more accurate number to look for if you have diabetes. Fiber also is something that you should pay attention to on the nutrition facts label. The higher the fiber, the better it is for your blood glucose control. A good source is considered 10% of the %DV and a high source is 20% of the %DV.
Serving Sizes
Be careful to note what the serving sizes are in food since often they are much smaller than you would assume. If you are consuming double the serving size, it is important to note that you are consuming double the sodium, potassium, phosphorus and carbohydrate amounts and thus they can be above your restriction. The serving size is listed in the nutrition facts label.
It is rare that canned foods are better than fresh foods. There is much more to consider regarding canned vegetables. You still must be aware of which vegetables are high versus low in potassium and phosphorus. Yet, it is possible to include these items in your diet by taking note of certain items that may be added such as sodium or potassium.
You can choose fresh and frozen vegetables, which will be lower in sodium, but you still need to pay attention to the potassium and phosphorus amounts in them because they could be a product that is high in potassium or phosphorus naturally. Check out the potassium and phosphorus lists we have – Click Here – and go to the store with more information.

Make A Healthy Smoothie For Kidney Failure Meals Instead!
(Photo credit: Wikipedia)
What Can I Use To Make A Healthy Smoothie For Kidney Failure?
After looking at what you cannot eat on a renal diet, it may seem impossible to enjoy a Smoothie For Kidney Failure. After all the main things that go into a smoothie are limited and that means it won’t be very good, right?
Wrong! Substitutions exist for the common high potassium and high phosphorus foods that are normally added to smoothies – so you can still enjoy that flavor without all the potassium.
Fruits For A Smoothie For Kidney Failure
Of course, high potassium fruit should be limited with your current diet. By speaking to your dietitian, you may be able to work higher potassium foods into your diet. Typically, you should try to consume the lower potassium fruits, though, and that is what I am going to use in the recipe so you can have a great smoothie right after you are done reading this!
Low potassium fruit (under 200mg): apricots (2), blackberries (1/2c), cherries (1/2c), peach (1), plum (1), strawberries (1/2c)
Very low potassium fruit (under 100mg): blueberries (1/2c), raspberries (1/2c)
For each serving you are making, use 1/2 cup of fruit above. Frozen fruit works excellent in smoothies and eliminates or cuts down the need to use ice, especially if you have a fluid restriction. So, you can use the flavors to add a little bit of pop to your otherwise ordinary day. And frozen fruit is easy to find all year long – so you won’t be stuck without having an ingredient when you get a craving.
Can I Use Milk In My Smoothie For Kidney Failure?
Milk, yogurt and ice cream which are normally be added to a smoothie must be eliminated because of the high phosphorus levels for most kidney patients. If you are not limiting your phosphorus, then you can use milk as long as you account for the protein it contains. To obtain a similar creaminess, non-dairy whipped topping or non-dairy creamer could be added instead of a dairy product if you can’t have them. Another idea could be to add sherbet.
For each serving you are making, use 2 to 4 tablespoons of whipped topping or sherbet.
Protein In My Smoothie for My Kidneys
If you are on dialysis you have increased protein needs from when you were not on dialysis. For this reason, you may want to add a protein power. For a high quality protein, protein powders such as whey protein powder or egg white protein powder can be used. They must be checked for potassium and phosphorus content. There are many brands that have less than 200mg of potassium and phosphorus. However, there are also even more brands that have high levels of these minerals and have an abundance of additives.
Products that are low in potassium and phosphorus include:
EggPro powder, LiquaCel, Procel Whey Protein Powder, Pro-Stat, Proteinex Liquid, Pure Protein Whey Powder
Since you may have a decreased appetite, you may be familiar with liquid renal supplements. These can also be used to supplement protein as well as add creaminess to the smoothie. Some liquid renal supplements include Re-Gen, Nepro with Carb Steady and Novasource Renal.
For each serving you are making, use one scoop of protein powder or 4 ounces of liquid nutrition supplement.
If you feel the smoothie needs some extra flavor, Crystal Light flavoring can be added to your smoothie to give it a kick!
Sample Recipes:
1/2 c Frozen Mixed Berries
4 Tbsp Non-Dairy Whipped Topping
1 Scoop Whey Protein
1/4 c Water (add more as needed)
Crystal Light Raspberry Peach (*optional)
Instructions: Blend all ingredients together. Add water as needed for the appropriate consistency based on your fluid needs or restrictions as well as based on your preferences.
or
1/2 c Vanilla Nepro with Carb Steady
1/2 c Frozen Mixed Berries
2 Tbsp Non-Dairy Whipped Topping
Crystal Light Strawberry Orange Banana (*optional)
Water as needed
Instructions: Blend all ingredients together. Add water as needed for the appropriate consistency based on your fluid needs or restrictions as well as based on your preferences.
Using one or two items from each section above can help you create a smoothie that you can enjoy on your renal diet. You can even experiment for more variety so that you do not become tired of the restrictions of your diet – which is a very important part of your diet. Watching what you eat all day can be onerous.
