How to Add Beef Liver to Your Family's Diet (Without the Taste)
Beef liver is one of the most nutrient-dense whole foods there is. But between the taste, the texture, and capsules that kids can't swallow, most families never get it onto the table. Here's a practical guide to adding beef liver to everyday meals, and how BeLiver™ makes it easy for everyone in the house.
Why beef liver?
Beef liver naturally contains vitamin A (as retinol), vitamin B12, copper, riboflavin, niacin, folate, selenium, iron, zinc and choline. Because these nutrients come packaged together in a whole food, many families prefer liver over isolated, synthetic vitamins.
The problem with liver (and liver capsules)
Fresh liver has a strong taste and texture that most kids, and plenty of adults, won't eat.
Capsules hide the taste, but young children can't swallow them and many adults would rather skip pills.
Dosing capsules for different ages in one household gets confusing fast.
A better way: beef liver powder
BeLiver™ is freeze-dried, grass-fed beef liver powder blended into a warm cinnamon-vanilla base that masks the liver taste. Each scoop provides 600 mg of beef liver, so you can easily adjust the amount for each person in your family.
Where BeLiver comes from
BeLiver is an American company founded by a Wyoming mom and registered dietitian. The liver comes from 100% grass-fed cattle raised on certified-organic rangelands in Australia. We chose Australian liver because a U.S. regenerative, certified-organic equivalent isn't available yet. The liver is freeze-dried to help preserve its naturally occurring nutrients, and every batch is third-party tested for microbial safety.
Serving suggestions by age
Ages 2–7: 1 scoop daily
Ages 8–13: 2.5 scoops daily
Adults: 3–5 scoops daily, depending on weight and goals
As with any supplement, check with your pediatrician or healthcare provider about what's right for your family.
Easy ways to mix it in
Oatmeal or overnight oats with nut butter (our most popular method)
Yogurt, cottage cheese or applesauce
Smoothies with mild fruits like banana, pear or peach
Stirred into peanut butter or almond butter
Pancake, waffle or muffin batter
A warm (not scalding) latte
A few tips: refrigerate after opening, stir it in just before eating, let hot foods cool for a few minutes first, and pair it with maple, caramel or mild fruit rather than strong berry or chocolate flavors. You'll find more in our BeLiver tips and family-tested recipes.
