Low Potassium Juices

A friend of mine can't have foods containing to much Potassium and he asked me what kind of juices he could make to stick with his diet.  I came up with the following list.  Of course if you are in his boat try to limit the amount you have depending on your doctor's recommendations.  I based these juice recipes off of a list of low potassium foods from the kidney foundation.

  1. Thank you for posting these! I have kidney disease and am looking to begin a juice "reboot." That said, I wanted to give one word of caution:

    1/2 a cup of Kale has ~200 mg of potassium. Three stalks of it may be troublesome.

  2. HI Mark

    Thanks for the comment:) You need to know your body and what you can safely consume before diving into any new meal plan. 2 stalks of kale would taste just as good, in fact you may even want to take it down to one stalk to be on the safe side. Or have it over the course of a day.

    Otherwise do enjoy having some delicious juices/smoothies in your diet! Lately I have been all about blended watermelon juice it is fabulous!! Enjoy and thanks for the info:)
