Yes, this recipe is specifically adapted to be kidney-friendly. By using egg whites, it significantly lowers phosphorus, potassium, and cholesterol compared to traditional French toast, making it a suitable option for those managing chronic kidney disease.
One serving (two slices) of CKD-Friendly Egg White French Toast contains approximately 250-300 calories. It provides about 14g of protein, 270mg of sodium, 260mg of potassium, and 130mg of phosphorus, making it align with renal diet guidelines.
The key adaptation is replacing whole eggs with egg whites, which are naturally lower in phosphorus and potassium. White bread is chosen for its lower potassium content compared to whole wheat, and the recipe avoids high-potassium toppings like bananas or oranges.
For kidney-friendly accompaniments, consider a small drizzle of pure maple syrup (in moderation), a light dusting of powdered sugar, or a side of low-potassium fruits like blueberries or raspberries. Avoid high-potassium fruits or dairy-based toppings.
French toast is best enjoyed fresh, but you can prepare the egg white batter mixture a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Cooked French toast can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheated gently.
While this recipe is adapted for CKD, it uses white bread which can be high in carbohydrates. Diabetics should consume it in moderation and account for the carbohydrate content. Opt for sugar-free syrup if using. Consult a dietitian for personalized advice.
