The Best Dairy-Free Ways to Get More Calcium #15: Oatmeal
Who doesn't love a bowl of oatmeal to start the day out right? Not only is it an EXCELLENT source of protein, but it's also a great food to eat to stay full for hours on end!
Steel-cut and rolled oats are both very healthy, and they provide you with up to 105 milligrams of calcium in a single 35-gram packet of Quaker Instant Oatmeal. It is ONLY in these instant oatmeal packages that you will get so much calcium, as the oats are enriched before being packaged.

Oats are one of the best complex carbs on the planet, as they contain a lot of fiber, plenty of carbohydrates, and even some proteins and fatty acids. It's recommended to eat oats and oat-products (like homemade granola, oatmeal, muesli, etc.) on a daily basis, as they provide you with all the nutrients you need to be healthy.
Note: The missus makes a delicious, low-sugar granola, and we've got the recipe at this link…
