This plant-based kidney friendly smoothie is a breeze to make and is a refreshing way to start your day!
We used unsweetened plain coconut yogurt in this recipe. If you opt for a sweetened variety, aim for 10 grams or less per serving. We really like the Lavva brand!
Remember to always check the label of plant-based dairy for for sneaky added Phosphorus!
