Nourishing Your Family with Vitamin A: Whole Food Sources Every Crunchy Mom Should Know

When it comes to keeping our little ones healthy and thriving, vitamin A is one of those essential nutrients that deserves a seat at the dinner table. Known for supporting vision, immune function, skin health, and even reproductive health, this fat-soluble vitamin plays a big role in our family’s wellness - especially during growth spurts, seasonal sniffles, and picky-eating phases.

But don’t worry - you don’t need fancy supplements or synthetic drops. Mother Nature’s got us covered.

Here’s a guide to real food sources of vitamin A that are both nutrient-dense and crunchy-approved:


1. Liver (especially beef or chicken)
The powerhouse of vitamin A. Just one small serving packs more than a day’s worth of this nutrient. Liver may not be everyone’s favorite, but sneaking a little into meatballs, tacos, or spaghetti sauce is a mom-hack worth mastering. But be careful some people like me think it stinks to high heaven and it taste gross af! So if your going to sneak it you need to use a small amount! 

2. Sweet Potatoes
One of the most kid-friendly (and budget-friendly) sources of beta-carotene, which your body converts into vitamin A. Roasted wedges, mashed with cinnamon, or baked into muffins - however you serve it, it’s a win.

3. Carrots
No surprise here! Crunchy, sweet, and packed with beta-carotene. Serve them raw with hummus, steam them soft for little ones, or grate them into baked goods and pancakes.

4. Dark Leafy Greens (spinach, kale, collards)
These green beauties are full of beta-carotene and other antioxidants. Sautéed in ghee, blended into smoothies, or folded into eggs - they’re easier to sneak in than you think.

5. Butternut Squash
This fall favorite is another beta-carotene goldmine. Roast it, soup it, or turn it into creamy sauces. Bonus: it’s gentle on sensitive tummies.

6. Red Bell Peppers
Vibrant and sweet, red bell peppers offer a vitamin A boost with a satisfying crunch. They’re great raw, roasted, or tossed into stir-fries and pasta.

7. Egg Yolks
Pasture-raised eggs give you a good source of preformed vitamin A. Plus, they come with bonus nutrients like choline and vitamin D. Scrambled, baked, or soft-boiled - yolks are golden for a reason.

8. Mangoes and Cantaloupe
For a fruity twist, these two are beta-carotene-rich and kid-approved. Blend them into smoothies or serve chilled for a refreshing snack.


A Quick Note on Absorption:
Vitamin A is fat-soluble, which means it absorbs best when eaten with a healthy fat. So don’t skip the olive oil, avocado, or butter - your body (and your babies) will thank you.


In the Crunchy Mom Kitchen:
Keep it simple. Rotate these foods into your weekly rhythm, and trust that even small, consistent choices make a big difference. Whether you’re nourishing toddlers, growing a baby bump, or just taking care of yourself - vitamin A is one of those quiet but mighty nutrients you’ll be glad you’re not missing.
