Pineapple Cardamom Oat Milk Shake: The Everyday ThyroBase AM Recipe

The everyday AM shake, and three easy twists

Most days, the simplest version is the one that gets made. This is the base AM shake: one serve of Pineapple + Cardamom blended with oat milk until it's smooth and a little frothy.

Below it are three small twists for when you want a change, none of which take more than a minute longer.

Serves 1 · Prep 2 minutes · Cook 0 minutes (no cooking)

What you need

• 1 AM serve (40g) of ThyroBase AM, Pineapple + Cardamom
• 250 to 300 ml cold oat milk or water
• A handful of ice (optional)
• Twist 1, iced: extra ice and a squeeze of lime
• Twist 2, thicker: 1/4 cup frozen mango pieces
• Twist 3, spiced: a pinch of ground cardamom or cinnamon on top

How to make it

1. Add the oat milk or water to a blender or shaker bottle.
2. Add the AM serve, and the ice or frozen mango if you're using them.
3. Blend for about 20 seconds, or shake hard for 30 seconds, until smooth.
4. Pour into a glass, add your twist, and drink it fresh.

Notes before you start

• If you take thyroid medication in the morning, have your AM serve at least 4 hours after it. Not on medication? Have it with breakfast.
• Breakfast only needs the 30 to 60 minute gap on your tablet's label. The 4 hours is for the AM serve, because it contains minerals.
• Oat milk makes it creamier; water makes it lighter. Both work, so use what suits you.
• AM contains added vitamin D and minerals. If you take prescribed calcium or calcitriol after thyroid surgery, check with your team before starting it, and pause it during any low-iodine diet before radioactive iodine.

Why it suits a thyroid routine

• ThyroBase AM adds plant protein, greens and minerals to your day as a food, not a medicine, with no added iodine and no kelp.
• Spacing it at least 4 hours from a morning thyroid tablet keeps its minerals away from your tablet. Coffee and breakfast keep to the shorter 30 to 60 minute gap.
• It sits alongside your thyroid medication, never instead of it.

This is everyday food, not treatment. Check with your doctor or dietitian about advice for you.
