How to Make a Calcium Boosting Smoothie with Powdered Eggshells

This calcium boosting smoothie offers a balanced blend of sweet and refreshing flavors with a creamy texture:

• Banana: Adds natural sweetness and creaminess, making the smoothie rich and smooth. A frozen banana gives it a frosty, thicker consistency.
• Fruit Options:
  Apricots or Berries: Subtle tartness and sweetness, adding a juicy punch.

  Kiwi or Pineapple: Tangy and zesty, with a tropical vibe that pairs well with greens.

  Papaya or Orange: Sweet and mildly tropical, offering a silky, bright citrus note.

• Greens (Spinach, Kale, etc.): Provide a mild earthy flavor. Spinach is more neutral, while kale or Swiss chard can add a slightly robust, green taste.
• Powdered Eggshells: Virtually tasteless, allowing the other ingredients to shine while providing the calcium boost.

The combination of creamy banana, sweet-tart fruits, and subtle greens creates a refreshing, nutrient-packed smoothie that’s energizing without being overly sweet. The almond milk base keeps it light with a nutty undertone that complements the ingredients.

The addition of powdered eggshells provides an excellent calcium boost, offering around 600 mg per serving, supporting strong bones, muscle function, and heart health. This smoothie is not only refreshing and nutrient-dense but also a fantastic way to supplement your diet with natural calcium!
