Egg Whites with White Rice, Green Beans, and Blueberries

Ingredients

• 4 egg whites
• 1 cup white rice, cooked
• 1 cup green beans, chopped and steamed
• 1/2 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen

Step-by-step instructions

1. Cook the white rice according to package instructions. Use water without added salt. This will provide a source of carbohydrates while keeping sodium levels low, which is essential for kidney health.
2. While the rice is cooking, rinse the green beans under cold water to remove any possible residue. Then, chop them into small, bite-sized pieces. Steam the green beans for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender. Steaming helps retain nutrients and keeps the phosphorus level lower than boiling would.
3. In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, gently cook the egg whites. Stir occasionally until they are fully cooked and no longer translucent. Using egg whites provides high-quality protein with lower phosphorus content compared to whole eggs, which is beneficial for CKD management.
4. If using frozen blueberries, thaw them by rinsing them under warm water. Fresh blueberries can be added directly. Blueberries are a good source of antioxidants and are low in phosphorus, making them a kidney-friendly treat.
5. Combine the cooked rice, steamed green beans, and cooked egg whites in a large mixing bowl. Gently fold in the blueberries. This combination offers a balanced meal while focusing on kidney-friendly ingredients.
