Simple Recipe Ideas:
Roasted Red Pepper Hummus - Pair with fresh-cut vegetables like celery, cucumbers, or radishes for a low-carb snack that skips added salt but keeps great flavor.
Vegetable-Packed Soups - Use low-carb veggies like asparagus, celery, cucumbers, broccoli, or cauliflower. Add plant-based milk (soy, almond, or cashew) instead of cow's milk for creamy soups.
Simple Stir-Fry - Combine tofu with low-carb vegetables like cabbage, bean sprouts, and add some peanuts for crunch.
Remember to watch portion sizes with plant-based proteins to ensure you're getting balanced nutrition while protecting your kidney health. A dietitian familiar with kidney disease can help create a personalized plan.
