Adding a cup of papaya to your morning smoothies can add 46 mg of calcium to kick-start your day.
Orange Juice
Calcium-fortified orange juice contains 500mg of calcium per 8-ounce cup, nearly double that of milk. In addition to that heavy dose of bone- and tooth-building power, orange juice has impressive nutritional content, rich in vitamin C, vitamin A, thiamin, folate, flavonoids, and a number of other trace vitamins and minerals that make it one of the most valuable, nutrient-packed fruit juices available.
In addition to its reputation as an immunity booster, vitamin C works as an antioxidant, and one of the most important functions of antioxidants is preventing cancer by keeping the DNA of healthy cells from mutating into cancerous cells. Vitamin A, another antioxidant, can increase kidney function and detoxify the body.
Orange juice can be sipped on its own or added to a kale or papaya smoothie to pack an extra punch.
Carrot Juice
Fresh carrot juice can give you an added 57 mg of calcium in each 8-ounce cup. Carrots are well-known for their beta-carotene and fiber content, which can help with preserving vision and keep your gastrointestinal tract (GI tract) healthy and running. This bright root vegetable is also a great source of antioxidants, vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin K, vitamin B8, pantothenic acid, folate, potassium, iron, copper and manganese.
Drinking carrot juice alone or adding it to your favorite smoothies can help protect the body against heart disease -- regular consumption of carrots can help reduce cholesterol levels. Because they are rich in potassium, a vasodilator, carrot juice can help drop your blood pressure, increase blood flow and circulation, boost organ function and reduce the amount of stress on the cardiovascular system.
