Need to up my calcium but don't want to eat cheese hate cream milk and at a push I'll eat dairylea don't want to take supplements want natural

Many almond/cashew/coconut milk type products have added calcium. You get more per serving than with dairy milk. I don't know if you consider that a supplement, but it really doesn't make a difference.

You can make your own calcium "supplement" powder with dried and crushed egg shells. No calories, cheap and plenty natural.

Not a fan of animal milk, so I just get mine from small bits of fancy cheese and almond milk (can't do soy milk). Spinach is my other go to.

How can someone hate cheese? Okay - point granted. Not everyone likes cheese. I like anazmann's link above. Have to eat a lot of veggies to up your calcium, but they're mostly low cal and you can eat a lot without calorie shock an.

Plug your nose if you have to & chug some milk daily! I'm also not a milk fan & hate those huge pills, but chocolate milk isn't so bad. In fact those are tasting too sweet to me so I'm planning to go back to "plug & chug" soon

this is horrible advice and very unnecessary to do if you hate milk that much. You realize there are many different ways to get calcium? Many listed right here on this same thread.

I take chewy calcium supplements. Bought them from Walgreens, they don't taste bad, and I don't have to drink milk

Its for the best you dont like milk. Humans were never designed to drink another mammals milk, especially into adulthood.

Great sources of calcium are any leafy greens. Some examples kale, spinach, broccoli, collard greens, mustard greens, turnip greens, Swiss chard. There is a great deal of calcium in non dairy milks and if they are organic milks its naturally occurring calcium. There are so many more options. Do a quick google search for more.

It's unclear that humans were designed by anyone at all, so statements like that don't make sense to me.

I'm confused by the statement that the calcium in organic non-dairy milks is naturally occurring. I've purchased both organic and non-organic plant milks -- all the organic ones I have seen are fortified with calcium. What is the difference with organic plant milks that the underlying plants calcium that non-organic plants lack?
