Are you looking for help finding recipes suitable for chronic kidney disease (CKD) and similar conditions? Fresenius Kidney Care (FKC) has a kidney-friendly recipe page that helps you discover healthy meals based on your needs and taste preferences. Learn more about it here.* 

How to find recipes right for me? 

The recipe page is designed to serve up recipes that are both appealing and suitable for your health, regardless of your kidney-related diet restrictions. You can opt to use the search feature to find recipes with ingredients that you want, or you can use the page’s recipe-filtering system. 

The filtering system has five categories: 

• Meal type (appetizer, breakfast, dinner, lunch, dessert, snack, side)
• Cuisine (American, Mediterranean, Italian, Asian, Mexican, Southwest, Middle Eastern, French)
• Diet-specific (diabetes-friendly, heart-healthy, high protein, low protein, low phosphorus, low potassium, low sodium, vegetarian, vegan)
• Allergens (no shellfish, nut-free, egg-free, gluten-free, dairy-free)
• Ingredients (chicken, seafood, beef, pork, turkey, pasta)

Just a few of the kidney-friendly recipes provided include breakfast burritos, blueberry muffins, chicken pot pie, lasagna, green bean casserole, shrimp pad thai salad, chocolate coconut macaroons, barbecue turkey wings, and shakshuka (baked eggs, tomatoes, and chiles). 

What else does the recipe page offer?

To help you stay both healthy and satisfied, FKC offers free electronic newsletters and cookbooks, which can be downloaded and printed. 

If you are finding your current kidney diet boring, using the resources at FKC can help inspire your culinary creativity, get you back to eating tasty foods you enjoy, and help you discover some new ones. 

Keep in mind that not all recipes provided by the recipe finder and cookbooks may be appropriate for your particular dietary needs. Speak with your renal dietitian if you have any questions about particular food items, food combinations, and/or portion sizes.
