3.Dark, Leafy Greens
If you’re looking for a tasty side dish, spinach, kale, and collards can give you an iron boost. There are lots of ways to prepare them. Steam, sautée, or chop and add to your salad. You can even blend them into a smoothie.
4.Vegetarian Delights
If you don’t eat meat, you can still get your iron. Tofu is a good choice. Or go for beans, like kidney, garbanzo, or white. Food from plants has «non-heme» iron, which means your body doesn’t absorb it as well as the «heme» type found in meat. Wash down your vegetarian meal with a drink that has vitamin C. It helps you take in iron better.
