It’s all about smoothies these days…and the choices are endless. I mean, just look in the grocery store and you’ll find shelves of smoothies that deliver extra protein, vitamins, antioxidants, calcium, and so on. Wish they’d invent one to get rid of wrinkles! You can give your own smoothies, either homemade or store-bought, a boost of calcium by whisking 1/3 cup pasteurized instant nonfat dry milk into 1-1/2 to 2-cups of liquid. This will add about 14 grams of protein and 500 milligrams of calcium (1/2 the recommended daily intake!) to your power drink. Moms with kids who need more calcium, take note.
