This is why when there are studies done on vegans iron levels, they’re levels are fine, if not better than the standard meat eaters. (Source: Dr John McDougall) So in a nutshell: The best way to absorb iron is with non-heme and vitamin C. This way you also don’t get the negative, acidic affects of meats.

Going to try it. Do you know what the 41% value means? I worry that it means you’re taking in 41% of your daily needs of iron, but how do we ensure that we are absorbing it correctly? I know there are inhibitors, like tea for instance.. I love a cup of tea in the morning, and would love to drink this smoothie also as a breakfast alternative. But I wonder if it will almost cancel out all of the wonderful iron I’m putting in! AYY! Must drink tea at wake-up time, and YUMMY Smoothie 2 hours later..

But I’d think overnight wouldn’t hurt! Some separation might occur, but you could just shake it up before drinking.
