Description
Think kidney-friendly eating is bland? Not so! This delicious meal has a bit of a spicy kick, yet the ingredients are almost entirely plant-based. Plants pack a ton of fiber and anti-inflammatory nutrients to help you feel great and live longer. Whole, less-processed fruits, veggies, beans, seeds, nuts and whole grains are the healthiest go-tos for snacks, meals and even desserts.
