The sun isn’t the only place you can get a healthy dose of vitamin D. There are natural concentrations of the essential nutrient in foods like fatty fish, eggs and certain types of dairy—and all of these recipes star these ingredients to give you at least 20% of your recommended daily value, or at least 4 mcg per serving. So if you’re feeling like you need an extra dose of vitamin D, try our Spicy Tuna Salad or our 20-Minute Creamy Mushroom Soup with Sherry and reap the benefits of this powerful vitamin.
