• Substitute 1/4 cup 1% low fat milk and 1/4 cup water for almond milk if preferred. This changes the protein to 12 grams, phosphorus to 278 mg and potassium to 358 mg.
• Oatmeal is higher in potassium and phosphorus compared to refined grains, but can be included in most kidney diets. Discuss with your dietitian if you are unsure.
