Calcium Rich Food #7: Soy Milk
If you don’t prefer drinking milk, soy milk is another great drink choice. One cup of fortified soy milk contains about 30% of the RDI. Native soy milk only contains about 10mg of Ca/serving. To provide the necessary amount of calcium, companies offer a variety of calcium-fortified soy milks with calcium ranging from 80-500 mg/serving. Add it to cereal, smoothies or pour a cup to drink on its own.
