Helpful hints
- Juicing sounds healthy, but for kidney patients on a low potassium diet a small amount of juice can provide a large amount of potassium.
- To stay within your potassium goal for the day be sure to count 3 ounces as 1/2 serving of fruit and 2 servings of vegetables from your daily plan.
- Consult with your dietitian when incorporating juicing into your kidney diet. Juice blends are high in potassium and may not be recommended if potassium control is an issue.
