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.

Notes

Kidney Stone Diet Safe Tips: I do like a smoothie as a way to get my added calcium. Kefir is a drinkable yogurt. And it is lactose-free as well. If you do not do dairy, use your favorite calcium-fortified non-dairy beverage for this smoothie. I get plain, non-fat, as smoothies can really pack on the calories if you don’t pay attention. This has a little oxalate from the strawberries but not to worry as the calcium is so high! There are so many fruits and veggies you can have on a lower oxalate diet. Keep the total of oxalate under 100 (unless your doc has instructed you otherwise) and get your calcium each day. I spend most of my day bringing foods back into patient’s lives, as they thought they “had nothing to eat.” Simply not true! I like my smoothies to be almost like a milkshake so I put ice into mine, if you don’t then no ice for you! Your kitchen, your rules!

    Hi Jill

    This looks so delicious! I am dairy free and thought that calcium-fortified non-dairy milks were not suitable for the KSD? i.e. I thought the added calcium in plant-based milks is from non-dietary sources and so is the type of calcium that would contribute to stone formation? Your clarification would be greatly appreciated! Thank you for all that you do!

“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!!!”
