Salmon, Clams, And Other Seafood<\/h2>\n

Fish and shellfish in general are a boon for B12, Blechman says.<\/p>\n

\u201cB12 content varies depending on the type of fish, but many contain at least 100 percent of the daily value of B12, if not more,\u201d she says.Clams are “among the greatest B12 meals,\u201d says Winnifred. \u201cThey have extraordinarily high B12 concentrations; 100 grams of clams have 84.1 mcg of B12, or more than 1,400 percent of the daily required dose.”<\/p>\n

Clams are also a fantastic source of other necessary minerals including iron, zinc, and protein. <\/p>\n

Salmon is a common seafood staple, and has plenty of B12 in combo with its other health benefits. Winnifred says that along with plenty of selenium, vitamin D, and protein, salmon has 6 mcg per 100 grams, or more than 200 percent of the daily required amount.<\/p>\n

Not a fan of salmon or clams? Some other great seafood options that all pack 100 percent of the daily recommended amount are for B12 are sardines, trout, and tuna, Blechman says.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Yogurt<\/h2>\n

Many people associate B12 with foods you don\u2019t typically want to guzzle down on a daily basis, like organ meats or nutritional yeast. But did you know yogurt is a great option to boost your B12 intake?<\/p>\n

\u201cDairy products in general are typically an excellent source of B12 and yogurt is my favorite due to its versatility,” says Blechman. A normal 6 oz serving of plain, nonfat Greek yogurt contains .8 micrograms<\/a> of vitamin B12\u2014 about 35 percent of the daily value.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot only is yogurt easy to incorporate into almost anything you\u2019re cooking or baking, it\u2019s also nutrient-dense (containing high-quality protein, calcium and often vitamin D when fortified) and is associated with a variety of benefits from weight management<\/a> to heart health<\/a>,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Fortified Breakfast Cereal<\/h2>\n

Fortified breakfast cereal has B12 added to it during the production process. So, of course, it’s a great source of B12. Some brands have up to 6mcg, which is 200 percent of the recommended daily value.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor vegans and vegetarians, fortified cereals are an easy and delicious method to up their B12 consumption and make sure they are getting enough of this crucial ingredient,\u201d Winnifred says. \u201cAccording to research in the Nutrition Journal<\/a>, eating fortified cereals can assist vegans and vegetarians have higher B12.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>

Eggs<\/h2>\n

\"high<\/a><\/p>\n

\n
\n

Already loading up on eggs for your post-workout protein? It\u2019s a good move for your B12 levels, too.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn average, one large egg contains about .5 micrograms<\/a> of B12. It may not sound like much, but it\u2019s actually more than 20 percent of the daily recommended intake,\u201d says Blechman. \u201cPlus they\u2019re included in a lacto-ovo vegetarian diet so they provide a high-quality protein source for veggie lovers who may be abstaining from meat and fish.”<\/p>\n

If you’re going to use eggs to get your B12 in, make sure you eat the whole egg. Most of the B12 is found in the yolk, says Johnson.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Nutritional Yeast <\/h2>\n

\n
\n

Another great options for vegetarians and vegans.<\/p>\n

Nutritional yeast fortified with B12 is one of the best ways to add cobalamin to their diet, says Johnson.<\/p>\n

Adding nutritional yeast into a diet can \u201cdramatically decrease the risk of developing a B12 deficiency<\/a>,\u201d she says. Though it varies by brand, \u00bc cup of nutritional yeast can provide around 8.3 mcg of B12<\/a>, 350 percent of one’s daily needs. <\/p>\n

Of course, if you\u2019re adding nutritional yeast to pasta, a vinaigrette, or sprinkling it on popcorn, you\u2019ll only use a tablespoon or two at most.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Fortified Soy Beverages<\/h2>\n

\n
\n

\u201cSoymilk<\/a> is often fortified with B12 and can be a great alternative for people who don\u2019t consume dairy,” says Blechman. “Just be sure to check the label\u2014since fortification is voluntary and up to the discretion of the company producing the item, not all varieties are fortified and, if they are, exact B12 content can vary greatly across brands.”<\/p>\n

Throw some into your morning fortified cereal, and you’ll be set on B12 for the day.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Beef Liver<\/h2>\n

Alright organ meat fans (if you’re out there), this one\u2019s for you.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeef liver, which is a type of organ meat popularly consumed in many cultures, is another excellent source of vitamin B12,\u201d says Winnifred. \u201cThe remarkable 72 mcg of B12 in a 3-ounce meal of beef liver is more than 1,200 percent of the daily recommended amount.”<\/p>\n

It’s worth noting that beef liver is also a great source of iron, vitamin A, and folate, amongst other crucial vitamins and minerals. Might be worth the grueling reminder that you’re eating, well … liver.<\/p>\n<\/div>
