[quote=Anonymous]Hard boiled eggs/egg salad (keep cold but the concern about Mayo dishes I’ve read is overblown unless you are using homemade Mayo).

Roasted chickpeas for a bath e

Dry fortified cereal (for poolside, keep it easy!)

Bean spinach cheese quesadilla, dip in sour cream or salsa (my kids will eat almost anything if it’s in a quesadilla/taco!)

Pasta salad made with chickpea pasta or lentil pasta instead of wheat—feta, olives, salami, cucumbers, tomatoes, or any variation on the above, Sesame noodle salad with mandarins and edamame, Americana macaroni salad with Mayo, cucumbers and tomatoes, the possibilities are endless

Hamburgers grilled on the pool grill (this is our standby for poolside dining—buy Bubba burgers for kiddo, Boca/Morningside for you, easy peasy! You won’t have to handle the meat as much, just make sure they stay frozen until you eat—meat based iron is more bio available)

Grilled brats, sausages, or hot dogs—another easy standby but less vegetarian friendly options available

Lentil sweet potato salad https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1021511-brown-butter-lentil-and-sweet-potato-salad?smid=ck-recipe-iOS-share this is delicious

Serve meals with citrus based dessert, dressings, or juice, as vitamin C makes iron more easily absorbed. Other sources of vitamin C are strawberries, tomatoes, and peppers. I’ve read a study that questions this, but prior studies said it works and it’s easy to do.
