What kind of orange drink?
orange juice --  orange soda --  orange coffee --  orange smoothy.

MCKY D's has there shamrock shakes out.  Not good for a regualr person let alone a kidney patient.
But one a year small is good.  we all cheat a little dont we?

We've all got to have our screw-ups sometimes.
Enjoy it while it lasts.

Like I tell folks, there is no food or drink that is forbidden.  You just can't eat it every day, all day long.  A little bit now and then ain't gonna killo you.  I also like the Terra chips, and I usually get the veggie ones with sweet potato, beet, stuff like that.

They have all sorts of varieties.

YUM!

As peleroja said, "there is no food or drink that is forbidden."  Except Star Fruit--that's deadly.

In this case, just know your total daily K limits and what you're eating.

The following are generic K values:
1 oz Regular Potato Chips=466 mg potassium (K).
1 oz Sweet Potato Chips=262 mg potassium (K).

these chips are the normal color
they are not as thin as some chips
I only eat these chips if I get 1/2 a sandwich at Starbucks
they come with it for free, so you pay the price anyways

paul.Karen --- the orange drink comes in a coke type bottle -- has added vitamins and appears to have no carbonation -- 1.95 a bottle that is not 20 ounces --- it is about 16 or 12
