Green smoothies. My latest is to put dandelion greens in the smoothie. It's up posed to be really high in calcium and other minerals.

OP here. Thanks so much for your advice.
I have borderline diabetes and high cholesterol, so I eat a lot of protein (egg whites, tofu, nuts, chicken) and non-starchy vegetables (cauliflower, cabbage, broccoli, cucumbers). I didn't know the veggies are a calcium source, so that's a great surprise. BTW, when I requested 'low fat', I should have requested relatively low in saturated fat. I eat a lot of healthy fats.

What is your overall diet like? There is a thing in foods that are seeds (like beans, grains, and nuts) called phytic acid. It binds with calcium and other minerals in your body and they are no longer available nutrients. Phytic acid is sometimes called an "anti-nutrient."
You might want to look into this. There are ways to prepare your beans, nuts, and grains so as to minimize the phytic acid content.
In the subject for this thread you mention that you're looking for both low carb and low fat. This seems sort of like a nearly impossible combo. All calories are carb, fat, or protein. So if you're both low fat and low carb, what are you eating?

Leafy greens (kale, bok choi, collards) navy beans, soy beans and soy milk, sesame seeds and almonds. Check out some vegan resources as they stress ways to get calcium from non dairy sources. I'm not vegan or vegetarian but don't like milk much.

I'm trying to consume more calcium in my diet to prevent osteoporosis. In some studies, calcium supplements are associated with increased atherosclerosis, so I am trying to avoid them.
Can anyone recommend recipes? I imagine that recipes using cottage cheese are a good calcium source. I eat greek yogurt with fruit, but I would like to branch out. Thanks!
