Smoothies are a delicious and easy way to incorporate more vitamin C into your morning routine. Strawberries, oranges and mangoes are good sources of vitamin C and are ideal for smoothies. A strawberry-peach smoothie contains 70 percent of your daily vitamin C requirement. And that without added sugars! So it's time to take the frozen vegetables and frozen fruit out of your freezer and make delicious smoothies.
Not only the well-known citrus fruits can give you a vitamin C boost, vegetables can also help with that. Brussels sprouts, broccoli and spinach also contain a lot of vitamin C. So it's time for stews and salads with these delicious veggies. The good thing about these vegetables? You can also use them while meal prepping, for example by storing them in mason jars in the fridge. So you have a quick lunch or an easy side dish for busy days! Try incorporating these vegetables into other dishes, for example spinach in your lasagna or broccoli in your stir-fries, for an extra vitamin C boost.
Your desserts can also be a good source of vitamin C. A serving of strawberries (around 165 grams) can be a simple and delicious dessert on its own. In addition, you can get 130 (!) percent of your daily vitamin C requirement. Of course you can also make a frozen treat with it that is not only a party for you, but also for your children. And they are super fun to make! You don't need much either:with strawberries (and other red fruits), yogurt and a freezer you can come a long way! Your immune system will thank you for that…
