Description

Is there one best milk for PKD? A great listener question episode on The PKD Dietitian Podcast! In this episode, I break down six of the most popular milks—cow, almond, oat, soy, coconut, and rice—and explain what each one offers (and what it doesn’t) for kidney health. We’re talking protein, potassium, oxalates, additives, and how to choose the right milk for you, not just what’s trending. If you’ve ever stood in the milk aisle feeling confused… this episode is for you.
