Vegans can easily get plenty of calcium from non-dairy sources. Even if you’re thinking of going vegan just one day a week you can rest assured that you won’t be calcium deficient. Think of all the things that are now fortified with calcium! Even orange juice now has as much if not more calcium than a glass of milk! I like to eat a spoonful of black strap molasses every night. It has lots of calcium along with other things such as iron AND it does double duty by fulfilling my sweet-tooth! Broccoli is another great source of calcium! Here are lots of great ideas on how to get your calcium…
