In our traditional diet, calcium intake is generally not sufficient. Most of it is that children stop drinking milk when they are a few years old, and only a small number of adults have the habit of drinking milk every day. If you don't drink milk or eat other calcium supplements, calcium deficiency is inevitable for a long time.

The reference intake of calcium for 1-4 years old is 400 mg per day, and the recommended intake for adults is 800 mg. In the ordinary diet, only half of the amount can be supplied, which is obviously a serious shortage. If a child encounters a nutritional "shortcoming" of insufficient calcium during development, it may affect the child's height development. Food calcium supplementation must be a part of the table. Important task.

Milk is the easiest source of calcium. A cup of 200 milliliters of milk contains about 250 milligrams of calcium. Eating any other food can't be so convenient and fast.

This milk soup has a natural sweetness and a very good taste. It can be used as a breakfast drink or as a baby snack.

Reference age in months: 7M+ (breast milk or formula milk for milk under 1 year old)"

Ingredients

Carrot Papaya Milk Soup

1. The ingredients are ready. 🌻Tips: Yellow and orange fruits and vegetables can provide carotenoids. The darker the flesh, the more carotenoids. Yuzi mom secretly added that, in fact, dark green leaf vegetables can also add a lot of carotenoids, their yellow is only covered by the thick green.

2. Peel and slice carrots. 🌻Tips: For carrots, choose carrots with a dense orange color, a smaller core, and a crisper texture.

3. Papaya is seeded, peeled and sliced. 🌻Tips: Papaya must be cooked before mixing with milk, otherwise the enzymes in the papaya will make the milk freeze and produce a bitter taste.

4. Steam it in a pot under cold water, and steam for 10 minutes on medium heat. The carrots can be easily pierced with chopsticks. 🌻 Tips: The absorption rate of carrots is mainly related to the cooking method. After the carrots are heated to fully soften the cell wall, only a small amount of oil is needed to ensure the absorption of carotene. The milk fat in the milk can help the absorption of carotene. No need to use oil to fry.

5. After steaming, put it at room temperature.

6. Mix with milk and beat into a slurry.

7. Naturally sweet, it tastes delicious without any sugar~ Rich carotene, smelling happiness~ Tips: Milk, yogurt, and cheese are the most powerful calcium supplements. For those who do not eat dairy products, tofu and soy products are the most important calcium supplements. Of course, green leafy vegetables are also very important for calcium supplementation. In addition, nuts, oilseeds, dried small fish, and small shrimp skins are also supplementary sources of calcium. The most prominent here is tahini, which contains as much calcium as cheese.
