5. Orange Juice

One cup (8 fl oz) of fortified orange juice can add up to 137 IU of vitamin D to your daily total, though the NIH recommends checking the label for exact numbers because counts can really vary. Serve a glass of orange juice with your morning pancakes or use it in a smoothie recipe for a delicious and portable morning meal.

Remember that in general it’s healthier to enjoy the whole fruit rather than its juice form, since the former still contains filling fiber, so drink juice in moderation. If you have a health condition for which you need to keep an eye on your carbohydrate and sugar intake, such as diabetes, it may be better to get your vitamin D from another source.
