I don't rely on milks for calcium. My children eat a very
phytonutrient rich diet with lots of leafy greens and raw seeds and
nuts. A diet that is devoid of animal protein and high in
phytonutrients causes less calcium to be excreted and improved
calcium absorption.
I give them each a green smoothie for breakfast made with 8oz of
spinach (gives 42% of their RDA for calcium) and sesame seeds and
cashew nuts. This smoothie normally gives them around 50% of their
RDA for calcium.
I give them a calcium/vitamin D supplement each morning (another
400mg of calcium) and the rest of their daily diet is rich in foods
that have a good calcium content.
I used fitday to work out how much calcium is in the cashew nut milk
and I think it is around 17% of the RDA per 8oz glass.
