Care, a division of DaVita HealthCare Partners Inc. (NYSE: DVA) and

resources that can help people with chronic kidney disease (CKD)
maintain a healthy diet during Memorial

"We like to remind people with kidney disease that a
kidney-friendly eating plan doesn't have to be time consuming or
restrictive, and it certainly doesn't have to compromise flavor,"
said Sara Colman, DaVita Kidney Care dietitian and manager of
nutrition for DaVita.com. "The recipes we have compiled online and
in our cookbooks are fast and delicious – and designed for everyone
to enjoy."
DaVita Kidney Care's most recent

Minutes or Less, features 16 kidney-friendly meals that are full of
antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables, healthy proteins and other
minimally processed high-fiber foods that contain less sodium,
phosphorus and potassium. The recipes help offer creative ways
to reuse foods. The cookbook can be downloaded for free
at DaVita.com/Cookbook. More than 900 kidney-friendly recipes,
including many that are perfect for barbecues and potlucks, can be
accessed at DaVita.com/Recipes. Recipes include:
