Plant-Based Iron Sources

If you are feeling low on iron, the following list contains some plant-based iron sources. Spirulina powder, dandelion tea or dandelion greens, dried apricots, and beets (of course I forgot beets on the list) are the key ones that come to my mind.

KEY: Vitamin C helps our body actually absorb the iron. I try to be aware of getting both in at the time. For example, when I’m adding spirulina to a smoothie (amazing source of iron), I make sure to add in foods that have Vitamin C as well – citrus, dragon fruit powder, camu camu powder, or amla powder are my main go-to’s. Sometimes frozen strawberries too. More Vitamin C foods: kiwi, red bell peppers, broccoli, tomatoes

If I need to supplement iron, I use Gaia Herbs, but solely to get my levels up, not for continual use.

Best Plant-Based Vegan Iron Sources

While coconut water does not have a ton of iron, when you have it a lot like I do, it does add up so I included it in the list.

As far as mushrooms for an iron source, know that oyster mushrooms contain about 2x the amount of iron as button mushrooms do.
