My son is 16, athlete, never been injured before. He broke a bone last week and he doesn’t like taking supplements but his training staff is pretty insistent he be on:
Calcium Magnesium Omega 3 Vitamin D Vitamin C I think if I could bake up some kind of bar or cookie with powdered milk, powdered magnesium and maybe slip in a small amount of a crushed up D tablet I could mask the flavors of the powders, for the omegas I think chia seeds and walnuts would provide that nutrient and then maybe for the vitamin c some kind of dried strawberries? Or could I use a fortified shake like Core Power as my liquid and then stir in oats, nuts, nut butter etc and bake? I’m at a loss and could use any help you can offer. Thanks! |
| Mary Ruth’s has liquid vitamins you can put in a smoothie. |
| What are the educational qualifications of his "training staff"? |
| Ps - my understanding is that fortified nut milks like almond milk even if they claim to have twice the calcium of milk, you only absorb small amount so I am trying to stick w real dairy if possible, thus wanting to use powdered milk as a base… |
All masters degrees and up - he’s in a special program. |
Thank you! How do they taste? Do you have a source for them? Thanks! |
Just seems a little extreme for a 16 yo. |
I don’t want to get too far off the path, but yeah he’s a very high level athlete and is part of an organization where they develop young talent. |
In nutrition? In orthopedics? I would be very wary of a coach or personal trainer doing this. |
He has access to PT, AT, nutrition and ortho. But what I’m really hoping for is some kind of tasty recipe that’s high in bone healing micronutrients (is that too much to ask lol?) Anyway if any culinary wizards have advice please weigh in! I like the idea of liquid vitamins in a smoothie too |
My teens take it no problem. We get at moms or Whole Foods. https://www.maryruthorganics.com/products/organic-liquid-morning-multivitamin |
| Hemp seeds are high in omegas and good in smoothies (no taste) or sprinkled in salads or avocado toast. |
| Barleans omega supplements come in flavored liquid form and are tolerable. You can find them at Whole Foods. |
| Your kid is too old to be hiding stuff in his food. Ridiculous |
| Ask the nutritionist with a master’s degree for food/recipe ideas. |
