I’m not plant-based but do feel that we should limit our dairy consumption for the health of the world as well as ourselves. I feel like the conundrum about what milks to drink for both us and our babes is rife right now and I will go into more detail about that in my newsletter next week.

My top calcium-rich foods
That are family friendly and plant-based too!
Sesame seeds
Tofu
Parsley
Almonds
Broccoli
Getting these foods into your little ones shouldn’t be too tricky and are delicious for us to eat with them too.
🥦 Tofu sticks and broccoli florets for baby to hold and can be made into a delicious stir-fry for us and them when they’re ready for full meals.
🌿 Parsley and almonds can be whizzed into a delicious pesto for everyone to enjoy (recipe in my next newsletter)
🍌 Bananas, roast sweet potatoes and other favourite fruits and vegies can be dipped into tahini (made from ground sesame seeds). Hummus also contains tahini.
Enjoy!
