Dairy products are a great source of calcium—something we already know. But most of us fall short of the Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA) for calcium and vitamin D. This power-duo is important for building and maintaining healthy teeth and bones in children and adults.
Our weekend recipe is a lesson in simplicity: a healthful snack that contains only three ingredients. All should be available at your local natural and organic food store.
In addition to enjoying a delicious treat, you’ll provide your body with high levels of calcium, vitamins C and D, essential minerals and protein.
