Calcium-Rich Foods Beyond a Glass of Milk




cottage cheeseCottage Cheese

Cottage cheese is another delicious dairy product that offers lots of calcium, but the amount you get will vary depending on the type: Nonfat cottage cheese contains about 97 mg of calcium per half-cup, 2% boasts 125 mg., and whole contains 93 mg of calcium.

Try it: Add a half-cup to your avocado toast to boost your protein intake; cottage cheese also contains about 11 to 14 grams of protein (but watch out for sodium levels, which can be more than 400 mg per serving).

orangeOranges

Did you know a whole orange contains 65 mg of calcium? You’ll also get 68 mg of vitamin C.

Try it: Make an orange and a handful of almonds your afternoon pick-me-up, or toss segments over baked fish.
