Calcium plays crucial roles in your body.
It’s well known for its ability to build and maintain your bones. Yet, this mineral is also important for muscle contraction, blood pressure regulation, nerve transmission, and blood clotting.
Here are some of non-dairy sources of calcium:
Soy Foods
Soybeans are naturally rich in calcium.
One cup (175 grams) of cooked soybeans provides 18.5% of the RDI, whereas the same quantity of immature soybeans — known as edamame — offers around 27.6%.
Beans, Peas, and Lentils
In addition to being rich in fiber and protein, beans and lentils are good sources of calcium.
Seeds
Seeds and their butters are also good sources of calcium, but the amount they contain depends on the variety.
Chia and flax seeds also contain decent amounts, providing around 5–6% of the RDI per 2 tablespoons (20–25 grams).
Vegetables
Some vegetables — especially bitter ones like dark leafy greens and cruciferous vegetables — are rich in calcium.
For instance, spinach, bok choy, as well as mustard, and collard greens provide 84–142 mg per cooked 1/2 cup (70–95 grams, depending on the variety) — or 8–14% of the RDI.
Fruits
Some varieties of fruit contain good amounts of calcium.
For instance, raw figs provide 18 mg — or close to 2% of the RDI — per fig.
Oranges are another somewhat high-calcium fruit. They contain around 48–65 mg, or 5–7% of the RDI per medium-sized fruit, depending on the variety.

Legumes are large, fleshy, colorful plant seeds. Beans, peas, and lentils are all types of legumes. Vegetables such as beans and other legumes are an important source of protein. They are a key food in healthy diets and have many benefits.
They are also a great replacement for meat as a source of vegetarian protein.
Beans and legumes have a number of health benefits, including reducing cholesterol, decreasing blood sugar levels and increasing healthy gut bacteria.
They are excellent sources of dietary fiber, protein, B vitamins and many other important vitamins and minerals.
Not only that, but eating more beans and legumes as a source of protein instead of meat is also environmentally friendly.
Add them to soups, stews and salads, or just eat them on their own for a nutritious vegan meal!

This ‘tried and true’, classic vegan banana bread recipe is moist, healthy, and so easy to make. It’s egg & dairy free, has an oil-free option, and is the best banana bread ever!
This plant-based banana bread recipe is kid friendly and a fan-favorite for good reason – it’s delicious!
Banana bread is easy to veganize by adding extra banana, which acts as a binder, replacing the need for eggs or other egg replacers. And as an added benefit, it also helps to lessen the amount of sugar needed. The trick is to use very ripe, freckly bananas, because the riper your bananas are, the less sugar you’ll need! This recipe only calls for 1/4 cup of sugar, but of course you can adjust, up or down, to suit your tastes.
Directions
Add the bananas to the bottom of a medium mixing bowl and mash well, add in the remaining wet ingredients and mix well. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just until incorporated. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter in a greased 9 x 5 loaf pan and bake for 50 – 55 minutes. Ovens are different, so use your best judgement. You can test for doneness using a toothpick, if it comes out clean, it’s ready.
Let the banana bread cool, slice and enjoy!
