Kidney Stone Diet
These bars are high fiber, vegan (use nondairy milk), high protein, low sodium, zero added sugar, and just plain good. If you need a bit more sweetness, you can add some zero-sweetened brown sugar.
This is a delicious way to start or end your day. The parfaits feel decadent and too good to be true while living a healthy lifestyle and they’re an excellent way to sneak more protein and calcium into your day.
A low-salt diet doesn’t mean a flavorless life—we just need to be creative with herbs and spices.
Calling all kidney stone formers! You do not have to live a life of deprivation with excellent recipes like this. It is one of my very favorites!
One of my favorite Kidney Stone Diet safe snacks is popcorn. However, store-bought popcorn tends to be too salty and caloric—I say caloric because who on earth can only eat the listed serving size?!? Not me. To remedy this, I’ve create my own popcorn seasoning I think you’ll like. Zero-Sodium…
I don’t follow keto, but many of my patients do. The Kidney Stone Diet is a set of goals. You can do whichever lifestyle you want as long as you fit into those goals.
Students in my prevention course always want to know…“What no-salt seasonings should I use?” I have used many over the years and here is my list of favorites. From Penzey’s NO SALT: *For whatever reason, it just says “spices” on the ingredient list, but after digging for what the spices…
I took the recipe off the box and changed it so each muffin would have more protein and zero added sugar. Each muffin also has 5g of fiber which is great!
You might think, “wow, this is pretty high in oxalate, Jill.”Yes, it is. But remember that you have 100 mg/day (unless your doctor has told you otherwise) and you will have this with a calcium-containing beverage and watch your oxalate throughout the day. NO PROBLEM.
This dish is very low oxalate, yet satisfying and filling. I got 12 meatballs out of the recipe, depending on how big or small you make yours the quantity might differ. If you don’t want to use parm, you could use a bit of feta for a nice Greek flair.…
I made this to show you that you can certainly still enjoy peanut butter. Many of you think you must never have it again on a low oxalate diet. Most of you can safely eat 100 mg/ox per day so you can definitely have these as a satisfying treat if…
I like a smoothie as a way to get my added calcium. Kefir is a drinkable yogurt that’s lactose-free. If you don’t do dairy, use your favorite calcium-fortified non-dairy beverage for this smoothie.

My patients are constantly telling me that they miss mashed potatoes. At the end of the day, I think it’s the texture we miss so much. This recipe is my solution.
To make this recipe vegan, simply substitute the parmesan for nutritional yeast. I like this as a side dish or main course. As the main course, I add chicken or turkey to it. This provides a good amount of fiber and fiber is very important for your colon health. Fiber…
Here is a lunch option that is quick and easy for diabetic and keto diet peeps. You can do whatever lunch meat you like with any cheese you like. You’ll note that this is a higher sodium option. You will not be perfect each day with your sodium goals, don’t…
I love having breakfast for lunch or a snack and this wrap satisfies. They are kidney stone diet simple, safe, and satisfying. Notice that lower carb tortillas can definitely be higher in sodium. When I choose them I pay attention to my sodium intake for the rest of the day.…
