Lower Potassium Variation: Instead of stuffing the rice into one whole pepper, pile the filling onto half a bell pepper per portion to lower potassium to 490 mg. Substituting chickpeas for black beans further lowers potassium to 427 mg per serving.
Higher Protein Version: If you are on dialysis or don’t require a very low protein diet, consider increasing the amount of beans to one-15 ounce can. This will increase the protein to 11 grams per serving. * Note that this will increase the overall calories, sodium, and potassium.
You may have heard that nuts, beans, and whole grains are not a great choice for a kidney-friendly diet because they are high in phosphorus. Wondering why we include them in many of our recipes? We include beans, nuts, and whole grains because only about 40% of phosphorus found in these plant foods are absorbed by humans. This makes them a good fit for most people’s diets!
Roasted vegetables make this side dish warm and hearty. Watch portion sizes if you are limiting potassium.

SOUP
Vinegar is a great way to add flavor without adding sodium. Don’t worry, you won’t taste the vinegar, just notice a little “zip.” Next time you make this recipe, or any soup, give it a try.
Add coconut cream and cream cheese stir to combine and heat the soup until the cream cheese melts and the soup is warmed through, then remove from the heat. Do not let soup come to a rolling boil or the cream may split.
Mix flour and butter in a 2 cup glass measuring cup.
Recipes that call for canned creamed soups are high in salt. Make your own and save on all that sodium.
