Notes

Kidney Stone Diet® Notes: These are one of my all time favorite breakfast donuts. You will need to get some ingredients to make them, however. Here are the ones I use:

Ok, now that we have that done, believe me when I tell you these are great. With 22 grams of protein, you will be full for breakfast, but you’ll also love the taste. If you like chai, these are your new favorite no-added sugar treats. I have them with my morning coffee, but you can have them as a stand-alone snack!

You can skip the coffee ingredient if you like, but I love a richer flavor. I made it decaf and let it cool to put in the batter. With my morning coffee, I made a bit more so I could use it once it cooled down for the recipe.

I used Fage Greek yogurt as it is the thickest and will be the best “frosting” for your donut. The cloves are pretty strong in this, so I had to take the portions down on it, and after several recipe attempts, I settled on 1/8 teaspoon for the frosting.

The recipe says vanilla extract, which you can use, but the vanilla paste I use listed above is wonderful! Get some.

You, of course, can make these vegan by using nondairy yogurt and leaving out the chocolate chips, but not sure how thick the frosting will be. You can still drizzle the yogurt on, and it will be great as it’s really the spices that make it so good. Some of the spices used can be a tad bit high in oxalate, but the portion is not perfect, folks. You can easily make almost all foods work when you get your calcium needs met each day and watch your portion! Also, you will note 2 separate entries in the ingredient list for vanilla. I used one in the batter and one in the “frosting.” Thank you, Jonathan!

    Dear Jill,

    Thank you for such a “sweet treat” for the Easter weekend. I am not much interested in cooking but this recipe in particular has piqued my interest. I’m arranging for a friend who loves to bake to cook up a batch for me.

    I do have a question. Have you ever used this recipe to make cookies instead of donuts and/or have you ever frozen them to keep them longer?

    I remain stone free going on probably 6+ years now and give much credit to taking your Course. Last week I met with a new, and astounding better, Urologist who practices in Santa Barbara. The 1 1/2 hour drive each way was more than worth the trip. I inquired as to whether he was familiar with Dr. Coe’s and your Web sites and he had read some of Dr. Coe’s but hadn’t heard of yours so I gave him the push to consider referring his patients to yours because of your ever so practical approach to prevents stones.

    Also while waiting for my appointment I overheard 2 men speaking about their need for dietary advice due to being treated for urinary stones. I gave them information about your services and a link to your Web page. I hope for their sake they follow through and contact you; they seemed very interested.

    As always, thank you for all you do to help people manage stone disease.

    I hope this note finds you and your family well and happy.

    Love and Light,
    William Bailey (AKA Sheffield William Bailey)

      Hi Sheffield!!!!!
      Been awhile! Glad you are doing well. I have not frozen these bc of the yogurt on top. But you could freeze the donut and put the yogurt topping on later when the donut thaws! I have not tried making cookies….YET. But I will experiment with that and post it if I can get it to turn out ok. Keep up your hard work. Glad you have a good doc to help care for you!
      So happy to have heard from you!

    Thank you for sharing this recipe! I’m excited to try it out with my family. However, I have a question about the vanilla protein powder mentioned in the recipe. Which brand or type are you using for this recipe?

“The Kidney Stone Diet is far more than just a diet; this plan is life-altering!”

“The group calls will transform you physically and emotionally. Once you start this journey, your health naturally improves. I have lost a total of 40 pounds and have consistently kept it off. The group calls are such support; this is more like family than a zoom meeting to stay accountable. Jill is far more than a nurse; she is a life coach. Her platform is invaluable.”

Kim J. | Kidney Stone Prevention Course

“The best decision I’ve made has been to join this group.”

“I have been working on weight loss for many years. This group has kept me on track and has helped my continued success with my weight loss.”

Kate L. | Group Calls with Jill

“I have been following the Meal Plan for about 6 weeks and I feel amazing.”

“Eating healthy has also encouraged me to go to bed earlier, so I am also getting more sleep. Because of that, I have been able to get up before work and exercise! So yes, the positive effects are spilling over into all areas of a healthy lifestyle.”

Jerry T. | Meal Plan Subscriber

“I have been a part of the group calls with Jill for the last 14 months, and they are essential to being so successful with the Kidney Stone Diet Prevention Plan.”

Sarah B. | Group Calls with Jill

“These calls are the gold of this program!!”

“I can’t say enough about how Jill knows just the right questions to ask us or how she prods us to think about what is going on in our lives.”

Monica K. | Group Calls with Jill

“I took the course with Jill, and my second 24 hour urine was MUCH better than the first.”

“She gives very practical information, and it WORKS. I was totally overwhelmed at first. I got very poor diet information from my doctors. Jill made it easy for me to understand, and I took it one day at a time. I still watch her videos when I need a tune-up. Jill is the best, and she really cares about all of us. Take the course—it will help you!!!”
