Adding Calcium to Food

Posted by: cassie  /  Category: Food & Recipes

If your kid is anything like mine, he won’t drink milk straight (I add it to his morning yogurt drink). So….here is a great idea to get more calcium into our kids (and grown-ups too)! Add 2 tablespoons of dry nonfat powdered milk to a bowl of soup. The 2 Tbsps. equate to a whopping 100-plus milligrams of additional calcium.

This works best with cream based soups such as Cream of Broccoli, Cream of Potato, etc. You could also sneak this into other meals, such as gravy, mashed potatoes, pot roast, or chicken breasts smothered in cream of mushroom soup.
