so, if the intent was to get a source of c (initially strawberries, then expanded to strawberries & kiwis, and now reduced strictly to kiwis) with a b-complex soy protein drink (boosted with a banana), why don't i also seek a specific source of a and e, too?

what are the highest quantity of each vitamin i can find?

this is all for 75 g of fruit, to match the strawberries and kiwis.

vitamin a
- rosehips  - 65%. but, nobody sells them.
- loquats - 23%. again....
- pitanga - 22%. still...
- cherries (red) - 20%. this is probably the most realistic choice.
- apricots - 18%,
- groundcherries - 10%   ?

vitamin b1
- pineapple - 6%

vitamin b2
- rose hips - 7.5%

vitamin b3
- groundcherries - 10%   ?
- rose hips - 5%

vitamin b5
- rose hips - 6%
- raspberries - 5%

vitamin b6
- pineapple - 5%

vitamin b7
- raspberries - 5%

vitamin b9
- blackberries  or  raspberries - 4%
- pineapple - 3.5%

vitamin e
- rose hips - 22%
- cranberries - 6%
- blackberries or raspberries - 4%

===========

i have enough c & enough k. there's no plant source of d.

if i could find some rose hips, they're exactly what i want - that gets me over 40% in both a & e, just for breakfast. if i add cherries, i'm over 60% a. and raspberries, or blackberries, will get me close to 50% e. but, if i just boost the rosehips to 100 g or 150 g, that's even better.

i already knew i needed eggs for b-complex. they're coming. they're good for the balance, too.  but, it makes more sense to have two bananas than do things like bring in pineapple, if i have to. and, i'll get what i need in the various schemes i've concocted.

i need to make some calls, but that's what i'm looking at in filling this out.
