Want to up your calcium while getting probiotics? Dairy-free yogurts are a tasty option that are free of lactose and cholesterol. Whether you eat them in addition to dairy yogurt or instead of it, here are a few time-tested varieties to try:
Coconut yogurt: thick, creamy, and high calcium. Not much protein, but a great source of probiotics.
Soy yogurt: affordable and high-protein, with many flavors available. Loaded with calcium.
Almond yogurt: if you like almond milk, you’ll love almond yogurt. Light and creamy, loaded with calcium and probiotics.
Popular stores like Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, and Fairway will carry most or all these types of yogurts. Try them as a post-workout snack or a breakfast on the go.
