Savory Green Morning Shake

← Targets

Calcium

Bone-supporting calcium from low-oxalate greens whose calcium is actually absorbable.

Fractional calcium absorption from kale runs ~41% — actually higher than milk’s ~32% — while oxalate-loaded spinach yields only ~5% because oxalate binds calcium into an insoluble complex in the gut. That gap is the entire reason low-oxalate brassicas (kale, collards, bok choy, mustard greens) anchor the shake’s calcium rather than a high-oxalate green like spinach.
