Low Sodium Snacks for the Renal Diet

Let's talk about snacks, baby! Snacks are quite often an important part of our day, but they can get the best of us with the additives, and the sneaky sodium.
Jen will chat about some of her favorite snack brands and recommendations.

thanks Jen. great video. as far as sweeteners for snacks, which is better for kidney patients: monk fruit, erythritol or stevia? thanks much.

[@PlantPoweredKidneys]

Great question! Monk fruit is a great option as is stevia. Erythritol is acceptable too, but as a sugar alcohol it may cause more bloating/abdominal discomfort. All can create GI issues if overconsumed. Check out our post about sugars on Facebook here: facebook.com/plantpoweredkidneys/photos/849219742460564

Hi Tamika! To guide you on the best diet for ✨you✨, we'd need to connect you with one of our dietitians.

I use mrs dash to flavor food. It has herbs and spices. Some say not to use it. Can u tell me why

[@PlantPoweredKidneys]

Some spice blends include potassium additives, which can impact potassium levels in the blood.
