Notes

Kidney Stone Diet Safe Tips: Now, usually, I am not a fan of meal replacement bars, but one must be honest and know that sometimes we all skip a meal and need a bar that is higher in calories. This fits the bill. This bar is high In protein and fat and will keep you satisfied until your next meal (I see you keto friends).

I will admit these bars are sticky. I just took them out of the refrigerator as I was getting them to set but decided they were not firm enough for me so I put them in the freezer overnight. I had one for breakfast! 

For my patients looking for EXTRA calories in the day, this bar is a great snack!

You can omit the salt and choose chocolate or white chocolate chips (if you can’t find the butterscotch chips) or sunflower seeds on your bar. The chocolate will add a bit of oxalate, so only use a few.

For chocolate chips, I like Lilly’s. And here are the butterscotch ones, too. This is a good snack or breakfast bar to pair with your calcium beverage.

I used egg white protein powder, but you use what you like. Your kitchen, your rules!

Oxalate: ~26mg/bar  Added Sugar: 0g  Calcium: 33mg

    Hi Jill-

    I haven’t actually made this keto bar recipe – because I can’t based on the information here – but it sounds delicious.
    I have been a cookbook editor for many decades and written quite a few myself and I’d be happy to help you clarify the recipe. No quantity on chips? just use as many as you want? I presume you need to pat the dough into a shape of certain dimensions on wax paper to chill (as well as curt accurately) and I see from the photo that probably some of the nuts plus “some” chips go on top. The nuts inside the dough seem as though they would poke up if you don’t chop them first.
    I’m on a keto diet – the only way I’ve ever lost weight – and nervous about setting off kidney stones as a result. I had my first at age 83 after losing about 40 pounds on keto, and I’ve since gained back about half of that that I want to lose again. I was also not drinking enough water by a long shot, which I have now corrected. Also having eaten low-carb for decades I was eating high oxalate, which has been corrected, sigh. I ate spinach about three times a week, sigh.

      Hi Fran,
      Thanks for the comments about the bars. I have updated them. Sometimes I make mistakes. Glad you have course corrected your diet. Remember this is about portion, so don’t give up too many fruits and veggies! Read the blog for great info on oxalate.

    I notice you have many high oxalate foods in this recipe; pistachios, peanut butter and pumpkin pie spice. Were the spices measured for oxalate content. cinnamon is very high ox along with similar spices.

      Hi Kami,
      You can see that the oxalate remains low in each recipe bc the portions I used are small. Make sure to recheck your list, all of the ingredients are fine to use if you watch portion. As always, portion not perfection and you can see that their are many foods you are not eating that you definitely still can.

    10 grams of net carbs is NOT keto. Glad I saw an actual recipe before subscribing.

      Hi Willa,
      Keto is officially less than 50 grams of carbs per day, so this bar can easily fit into that goal!

    I was wondering how each bar can have 28 milligrams when 1 T. peanut butter has 19.2 mg and each serving has 2 T. of peanut butter, which would make it 38.4 mg for the peanut butter alone:

    1/2 cup = 8 T. Peanut butter

    8 T. Peanut butter ÷ 4 servings = 2 T. Peanut butter Per serving

    2 T. Peanut butter X 19.2 mg Oxalate = 38.4 mg

“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!!!”
