| Teens, both boys and girls, need 1,200 milligrams of calcium daily. Girls typically don't consume enough dairy products to help their bones develop during their growing spurt. Teen girls' snacks should include sources of dairy products such as milk, yogurt and cheese.

When buying orange juice, purchase the calcium-enriched variety, which is good in smoothies, too. |
