Things You'll Need:
- Broccoli
- Low-fat Cheeses
- Low-fat Or Nonfat Yogurt And Kefir
- Milk
- Tofu
-
Step 1
Pour on the milk. Toddlers can meet their calcium needs with two cups a day; preschoolers and school-age kids need three.
-
Step 2
Slurp up some kefir. This yogurt-like drink is tangy and delicious and comes in fruit flavors.
-
Step 3
Spoon yogurt into your child's diet. It is great alone, or you can mix yogurt with diced fruit and granola.
-
Step 4
Try a little tofu. Soft tofu is delicious blended with a frozen banana and some frozen strawberries into an instant dessert.
-
Step 5
Serve up the low-fat cheese. Kids love calcium-rich cheese on just about anything. Offer quesadillas or string cheese for lunch.
-
Step 6
Eat trees. Broccoli florets look like little trees. Boost the calcium even more by covering steamed broccoli with low-fat cheese sauce or blending it with milk for cream of broccoli soup.
