Calcium helps build strong bones and healthy bodies. For some,
drinking milk or enjoying yogurt or cheese is a simple task. But for
others it may require some creativity to ensure your family is
receiving the recommended amount of calcium per day. If you have a
picky eater in your family, try the following recipe tricks to build
and maintain strong bones and teeth:
· Add powdered milk to mashed potatoes, soups or even hot
cereal
· Top vegetables with a slice of cheese or some cheese sauce
· Add shredded cheese to scrambled eggs
· Layer fresh fruit, cereal and yogurt in parfait glasses ·
Mix whole-grain cereal with fruit-flavored yogurt for a quick
breakfast
· Swap white milk for an ice-cold glass of flavored milk like
chocolate or strawberry.Make sure your family gets three servings of
low-fat or fat-free milk, cheese or yogurt each day for calcium and
other essential nutrients for healthy bodies. Produced by ADA's
