Dr. Blake’s Top Tip: To enhance the kidney-healthiness of this recipe, choose fruits like berries if you need a low potassium topping or adjust toppings like hummus or ricotta by using low-sodium varieties. Pairing these waffles with fresh vegetables or herbs adds flavor and variety without the need for additional salt.
