Thyroid-Supporting Coconut Milk and Mango Smoothie
This smoothie is a delicious and nutritious way to support your thyroid health. The coconut milk is a good source of iodine, which is essential for thyroid hormone production. The mango and banana are both good sources of vitamins and minerals, and the spices (turmeric, ginger, and cinnamon) have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. The chia seeds are a good source of fiber and omega-3 fatty acids, and the maca powder is a good source of nutrients like iron and calcium.
I first developed this smoothie when I was struggling with thyroid issues. I was looking for a way to get more iodine in my diet, and I came across coconut milk. I also knew that fruits and vegetables are good for thyroid health, so I added mango and banana to the smoothie. The spices (turmeric, ginger, and cinnamon) are all known for their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, which can be beneficial for thyroid health. I also added chia seeds for fiber and omega-3 fatty acids, and maca powder for nutrients like iron and calcium.
