Vegetable-Based Dishes:
- Mashed cauliflower instead of potatoes (steam and mash with minimal salt)
- Roasted cauliflower (toss florets with olive oil, garlic powder, and black pepper, then roast until crisp)
- Grilled or roasted root vegetables like carrots
- Eggplant parmesan made with low-sodium breadcrumbs and minimal cheese

- Grilled marinated eggplant for wraps
Protein Options:
- Egg white dishes (scrambled, omelets, or hard-boiled with yolks removed)
- Sushi rolls with seafood, veggies, and white rice (skip the soy sauce due to high sodium)
- Plant-based proteins like beans, nuts, and tofu
Key Cooking Tips:
Cooking at home gives you control over sodium and other nutrients. When eating out, ask for meals without added salt. Focus on fresh ingredients over processed foods, and avoid adding salt during preparation.
Consider looking for cooking classes in your community designed for people with diabetes or heart disease, as these often align with kidney-friendly principles. Always check with your kidney doctor or renal dietitian before trying new recipes.
