Feed Your Child Enough Vitamin E
If your child's eating habits are erratic, as many children's are, it can be a challenge to feed her enough vitamin E. Use these ideas to make sure your child gets plenty.
Instructions
1. Sprinkle wheat germ child's oatmeal or onto cold cereal. Each tablespoon has 2mg of vitamin E.
2. Drop blueberries into your pancake batter. One-half cup of blueberries has 1.5mg vitamin E.
3. Fix yet another PB&J! Peanut butter offers 1mg vitamin E per tablespoon.
4. Add sunflower seeds to your muffin and quick-bread recipes. One-quarter cup has 7.5mg.
5. Crunch on nuts like almonds, cashews, filberts or pumpkin seeds for snacks. Nuts have about 7mg vitamin E per 1/4 cup.
6. Mash a sweet potato into plain mashed potatoes. Each sweet potato has 5mg.
7. Dine on salmon with steamed broccoli on the side. Three ounces of salmon (about the size of a deck of cards) contains 1.3mg, and 1/2 cup of broccoli has nearly 1mg of vitamin E.
8. Savor some creamy guacamole with baked tortilla chips. Avocados have 2 to 4 mg each.
9. Use vitamin-E-rich cooking oils. Canola, safflower, corn, soy and sunflower oils have 6 to 8 mg vitamin E per tablespoon.
