HELP ~ 2.5 year old hates MILK!?


My dd is getting to where she will only finish one sippy cup of milk a day now. I even put choc or strawberry Quik in it to be more enticing. What do I do to get her her calcium? She'll eat yogurt and cheese, but gets sick of that too. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Answers:
Good sources of calcium are:
All dairy products except butter
Dried peas and beans
Most dark leafy greens (beet, turnip, kale collards but NOT spinach or Swiss chard
Soft bones of small fish (salmon)
Fortified cereals, foods and juices
Vegetable sources for calcium, especially good if you do not like or can not tolerate dairy products
Add milk instead of water when preparing soups, hot cereals, pancakes or scrambled eggs
Wrap a tortilla around string cheese and warm in microwave
Sprinkle shredded cheese on salads, bake potato, casseroles
Mix fresh fruit with yogurt for breakfast or dessert or snack
Drink a milk shake or malt
Drink hot chocolate or chocolate milk
Use milk instead of water to cook corn on the cob, poach fish or chicken
For dessert choose puddings, custards, ice cream or frozen yogurt
Calcium fortified juice
Calcium fortified bread*
yogurt.
