It’s not just a saying. Breakfast really is the most important meal of the day. A healthy breakfast helps energize and nourish you. Also, it prevents that starved feeling before lunch. Breakfast recipes and planning a daily breakfast can help get you started.

Breakfast Benefits

Some benefits that may be experienced with eating breakfast include:

higher fiber intake
meeting goals for fruits and vegetables more easily
better memory and attention
lower weight compared to people who do not eat breakfast

The newest Today’s Kidney Diet (TKD) cookbook from DaVita includes our best breakfast recipes. Choose muffins, low phosphorus biscuits or a breakfast sandwich if you’re on the go. For home, select breakfast casserole or burritos for brunch, or favorites like pancakes, hot cereal or omelets.

In addition to 14 recipes, the TKD Best Breakfast Recipes cookbook includes phosphorus pointers for breakfast meals, tips for making selections at bagel and donut shops, sodium busters and ideas for making kidney-friendly omelets.

January is a time for committing to new habits. Why not choose to eat a healthy, kidney-friendly breakfast each day one of your goals for 2018? Download the TKD Best Breakfast Recipes cookbook today to get started. Ask your dietitian for additional pointers on starting the day with a healthy breakfast tailored to your individual needs.

It would be nice if your recipes included nutritional information (fat, cholestrol, sodium, carbs, fiber, sugar, protein) for one serving. I am dealing with CKD but also with a couple of other health problems all which have diet restrictions. Thank you.

Our recipes all include calories, protein, carbohydrate, fat, cholesterol, sodium, potassium, phosphorus, calcium and fiber. When you see the nutrient information with a recipe it is for a single serving. We always provide the serving size and the number of portions in each recipe. I hope this helps!

I live in southeast Louisiana. Most recipes we see the ingredients are not what we use here. We always have to change. I am not on dialysis at this time

If you are working with a dietitian they can suggest kidney-friendly substitutes to use when other ingredients are not available.

SADLY, even “major” hospitals such as Baylor Scott & White in Central Texas, LACK the desire, interest or imagination to provide satisfying meals for diabetic, heart healthy, renal patients. Instead these meals are “pre-made”, pre-packaged foods, re-cooked OVER seasoned (foods SOLD to even public). It IS NO WONDER patients & public CHOOSE to purchase food from OUTSIDE the hospitals. The food at best is SUB-STANDARD at best.

I have been following the DaVita diet for 3 weeks for my husband. I am a little confused his doctor told him to follow a strict low sodium diet…yet many of your recipes call for salt and salted butter. Could you please explain this to me. I have been using unsalted butter and not adding extra salt in but I don’t want to do anything determental. Thanks so much for taking the time to answer my question. It means a lot to us.

The first thing is to know your husband’s sodium goal. Most patients are allowed 2,000 mg daily. With this restriction you can add a small amount of salt or salted ingredients to make the recipe taste good without making it a high sodium recipe. If your husband has a more restricted sodium level in his diet go ahead and stick to salt-free butter and omit the salt. The biggest concern is that he is eating enough–and a little extra seasoning can help a lot.

Your information is very helpful for me. I want to follow your tip for my breakfast. Hey Sara Colman please tell me what type of recipe eating breakfast for less fat my body. I hope you must say some thing about my question.

Try the multigrain hot cereal in our cookbook. It’s low in fat and high in fiber from whole grains. You can also cut fat by using egg whites instead of whole eggs. Limit added fats like butter or fatty meats like bacon and sausage. Try adding fruit and veggies (omelets and scrambles are great!)

We have some tools that I think could help you. We have over 1200 recipes on DaVita.com and other articles you can search on our blog for meal ideas. If you have a myDaVita account you can add your meals into our new meal planner. I included links for the recipes, recipe collections and another blog post. The kidney diet is very individualized so speaking with your dietitian on your lab work can also give you direction on meal ideas as well.
