Slow Cooker Curry Lentils & Rice
Iron-rich Foods with Low Fat Content
This is only a brief list to get you started, so by all means research for yourself. There are many iron-fortified foods available, unfortunately, many are not appropriate for a gluten free lifestyle.
Clams, oysters, shrimp, tuna (if canned, make sure you purchase “water packed”)
Chicken breast (skin off), lean beef
Lentils, lima beans, peas, dried beans, tofu
Iron-fortified breakfast cereals (Like Rice Chex, which are certified GF, of course!)
Dried fruits (apricots, peaches, raisins – but be careful if you’re watching calories, as dried fruits are calorie dense foods)
Spinach, squash, potatoes, broccoli, Brussels sprouts
