Helpful hints

• When soda is added mixture will foam, so add slowly and stop until bubbles reduce if needed to prevent bubbling over.
• If orange extract is unavailable, vanilla extract may be substituted.
• Crush^® and Sunkist^® orange diet sodas are acceptable for a kidney diet because there are no phosphate additives.  Fanta^® orange soda does contain phosphate additives.
• Look for almond milk marked ‘original’ and check ingredients to select a product free of phosphate additives.
• If Syntrax Nectar^® Whey Protein Isolate Powder is unavailable, ask your dietitian for an appropriate substitute.  EAS^® 100% Whey Protein Powder is an option and gives approximately 13 grams of protein per scoop.
