Are you worried your vegan kids aren't getting enough calcium without dairy in their diet?


It's a common concern among vegan parents to ensure their children get all the essential nutrients for optimal health. 


The good news is that there's a variety of ways to include calcium in your child's vegan diet without relying on dairy products.


In this episode, I'm going to discuss plant-based calcium for kids. We'll explore why calcium is so important for your little ones, not just for strong bones, but for their heart and muscles too. I'll debunk the common myth that dairy is the only source of calcium and provide you with alternative vegan calcium sources that are nutritious and kid-approved.


You'll learn about the different needs of children as they grow, from toddlers to teenagers, and how you can meet these requirements with a mix of high calcium vegan foods and a balanced diet.


I also share tips on choosing the right plant-based milk and other calcium-rich foods that can easily fit into your family's meals and snacks. 


Tune in and let's make vegan nutrition easy and delicious for our little ones!
