Okay, so I know it’s actually starting to feel like Spring. And I know that eggs and I have had a little break. BUT… We need still need to talk about them and the importance of that YOLK (alone and when combined with other foods) ya! It does wonders to Boost your Vitamin D!

You see, the winter months often find us indoors nestled by a warm fire or wrapped in a cozy blanket. Even if we get outside to enjoy the cold weather, chances are we’re not getting enough vitamin D from the lack of sun. And vitamin D nourishes our bodies and minds in more ways than we think. Vitamin D protects against certain illness, such as heart disease, osteoporosis, diabetes, and certain cancers. Not only that, but vitamin D keeps depression away and helps memory function and problem solving. Vitamin D totally helps KEEP SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) away!
The great news is that we can benefit from so many foods rich in vitamin D! And even better news: these foods taste delicious! I have three great ways to get some extra vitamin D in your diet:
- Eggs—a rich source of protein, eggs won’t raise your cholesterol like once thought. And the vitamin D comes from the eggs yolks, so definitely don’t skip this essential part of the egg;
- Fatty fish, such as salmon, trout, or sablefish—omega 3s and vitamin D naturally occur in salmon. You only need a small amount once a week to get the benefits from this fantastic food.
- Organic grass fed or cultured dairy—vitamin D is also naturally present in milk and helps our bodies absorb calcium. Fortified with vitamin D, milk continues to be an essential part of a person’s diet from birth and throughout life.
Since the the EGG YOLK is one of the highest forms of fat soluable Vitamin D, I thought it would be fun (and yum) to share 5 gluten free recipes with eggs that boost your Vitamin D. More specifically, eggs in combination with other Vitamin D rich foods,as mentioned above. Sound good?

But let’s not forget the dairy! Yes, if you can handle cultured or organic dairy, then go for it. It’s another power house vitamin D combo with eggs. Heck, even coconut yogurt and almond milk has vitamin D in it now. That’s a good thing ya’ll!
Creamy Olive Pimento Deviled Eggs and Recipe
That being said, I tweaked my grandma’s deviled egg recipe (yet again) to make it a little more protein packed and Vitamin D/Calcium rich. Instead of mayo here, we’re using whole greek yogurt! It’s tangy, delicious, low carb, and packed with healthy fats (along with Vitamin D of course).

p.s.
Something to ponder and maybe we can talk more about later. How does one become sensitive to eggs? Well, for one, it’s usually the egg white protein that can cause a sensitivity. So keep in mind that AMAZING YOLK! Still, if you are suffering from seasonal allergies, gut flora problems (lack thereof), stress and nutrient deficiencies, and/or SIBO, YOU CAN DEVELOP a sensitivity (hopefully temporary) to MANY of your favorite healthy foods. Goodness, that says something about the way we live, right? Rest, digest, stress less, and GET IN THOSE PROBIOTICS!! I’m preaching to the choir here ya’ll.
Let me know if you’d like to hear more about this topic.
Food allergy testing can be very skewed. One of the best forms of testing that has been highly recommended, is Cyrex. And no, I’m not affiliate.
