Dr Oz: Smoothie Bites Recipe for Slow Thyroid Diet SIZ Meal Plan

Dr Oz: Reboot Your Thyroid

When suffering from a slow thyroid, easy, quick-fix remedies are certainly tempting. Dr Oz discussed the potentially dangerous side effects of using over-the-counter thyroid pills then took the time to highlight a much better way for you to improve the condition of your slow thyroid to boost your metabolism and feel better in no time.

Dr Oz was joined by Dr Aviva Romm, author of “The Adrenal Thyroid Revolution: A Proven 4-Week Program To Rescue Your Metabolism, Hormones, Mind & Mood.” Dr Romm was thrilled to share real solutions to help fix a slow thyroid, explaining that the thyroid can become too stressed out and slow down if you skip meals or even exercise too much.

Fortunately, Dr Romm had just the plan to put the sizzle back in your metabolism: the S-I-Z Formula Program.

Dr Oz: S-I-Z Formula Program For A Slow Thyroid

The “S” in S-I-Z stands for selenium. If you’re struggling with a slow thyroid, selenium can help turn things around and stop antibodies from attacking your thyroid. You can find selenium in foods like spinach, mushrooms, rolled oats, and Brazil nuts. Just two Brazil nuts a day can add enough selenium to your diet.

The “I” in S-I-Z stands for iodine. You can add iodine to your diet by consuming kelp (seaweed), yogurt, eggs, low fat milk, and all sorts of fish and things that come from water, like salmon, shellfish, or halibut.

The “Z” in S-I-Z stands for zinc. Oysters are the richest source of zinc, but you can also add zinc to your diet by consuming just two handfuls of pumpkin seeds, beans, beef, or red meat.

Dr Romm then took the foods required to boost your thyroid function and created a meal plan to take the guess work out of eating healthy.

First, for breakfast you’ll want to munch on low-fat yogurt and granola made with toasted rolled oats and a handful of almonds or pumpkin seeds.

A great lunch idea would be a spinach salad topped with roasted chicken and black beans. Then for dinner you can enjoy three fish sticks, but be sure they’re healthy and not the junk food kind. Enjoy green beans and brown rice on the side and dip your fish sticks in low-fat yogurt dip instead of tartar sauce.

Dr Oz: Slow Thyroid Diet Tip

To boost your thyroid properly, you’ll need to consume 30 grams of protein at the start of your day. Homemade smoothie bites are a great, no-cook, easy way to be sure you’re getting the protein you need. Not everyone has the time for a smoothie drink, which makes a healthy bite-size treat a great breakfast for snack option.

These smoothie bites contain almond butter which is a good quality fat. It’s also a good binder and helps keep you fuller, longer. The pea protein powder provides an extra dose of protein without affecting the flavor, the coconut is another great source of healthy fat, and raisins are loaded with iron. For how to make them, continue on to the next page…

To make the bites, simply combine all of the following ingredients except for the coconut in a food processor and blend until it turns into a dough. Then roll the mixture into balls and roll the balls in the shredded coconut. They can be enjoyed right then or you can store them in the fridge for up to a week.

1/3 C cashews
1/2 C raisins
1 scoop pea protein powder
1/3 C almonds
1/3 C walnuts
4 tbsp almond butter
1/4 C shredded coconut
