Get your Protein in Every Meal

Whether you’re trying to boost your energy or fight fatigue, getting enough protein is key. But not all proteins are created equal. You want to make sure you’re getting high-quality protein that will give you the most benefit.

Local, grass fed, organic sources of clean, high-quality protein are the best way to get what you need. Eggs, egg bakes, protein shakes using bone broth protein, homemade sausage patties or crumbles, collagen, Greek yogurt, and protein powder are all great options.

Eggs

Eggs are a classic source of protein that can be used in endless ways. scrambled, fried, hard boiled, turned into an omelet or frittata, or baked into something sweet or savory. You can also get creative and make “egg boats” by hollowing out the center of a slice of toast and adding your favorite toppings.

Egg Bakes

Egg bakes are a great way to get protein and veggies all in one dish. They can be made ahead of time and easily reheated for a quick, healthy meal. Just add whatever vegetables you like, some cheese if you want, and bake until the eggs are set.

Protein Shakes

Bone broth protein powder is a great way to get extra protein into your diet. Just add it to water or milk and enjoy a delicious shake any time of day. You can also add it to smoothies or use it to make protein pancakes or waffles.

Homemade Sausage

Sausage is another classic source of protein that can be used in a variety of dishes. You can make your own sausage patties or crumbles using ground meat, spices, and herbs. Or you could get even more creative and stuff your own sausages with whatever filling you like.

Collagen

Collagen is a protein that’s found in the connective tissues of animals. It’s often used as a supplement because it’s believed to have a number of health benefits, including joint pain relief, improved gut health, and better skin elasticity. You can find collagen powder or capsules at most health food stores.

Greek Yogurt

Greek yogurt is a delicious and nutritious way to get protein. It’s a great source of calcium and probiotics, and it can be used in sweet or savory dishes. You can add Greek yogurt to smoothies, use it as a base for dips or dressings, or eat it plain with some fruit and honey.

Protein Powder

Protein powder is a convenient way to get extra protein into your diet. Just mix it with water or milk and drink it anytime, anywhere. You can find protein powder made from whey, casein, soy, pea, or hemp at most health food stores.

Getting enough protein is essential for good health. But it’s important to make sure you’re getting high-quality protein from clean, local, grass fed, organic sources. Eggs, egg bakes, protein shakes using bone broth protein, homemade sausage patties or crumbles, collagen, Greek yogurt, and protein powder are all great options.

What Is the Best Protein for Thyroid Health?

If I could impart one tidbit of wisdom about thyroid health to my audience, it would be this: If you’re not getting enough protein in your diet, the deficiency can wreak havoc on your thyroid function. Made from amino acids, proteins are your body’s building blocks—fueling essential bodily functions and the production of antibodies and hormones, including thyroid hormones.

And the thyroid affects every cell in the body.

Considering how vitally important protein is for proper thyroid functioning, I wanted to spend some time discussing the best proteins for thyroid health. Through my research and personal experimentation with different kinds of proteins, I’ve found that there are two basic types of proteins to consume in order to enhance, improve, and optimize thyroid functioning.

First and foremost, don’t buy the cheapest thing at the local big-box store. Unless you’re confident that the product doesn’t contain questionable ingredients like additives and fillers that could negatively impact your health in other ways, you don’t want to buy your proteins based on price alone.

Grass-Fed Protein

This leads me to the first type of protein to include in your diet: I recommend grass-fed/grass-finished beef protein containing no antibiotics, no hormones, and no other additives as one of the best types of protein for thyroid health. This type of beef protein is available in a protein powder and should be free of common food allergens that are used as fillers, such as corn, soy, and wheat.

Vegan-Source Protein

Vegan protein powders, made from pea protein, are another source of protein I like to use. Because pea protein has a low reactivity for most people, there are generally no issues with sensitivity to it like you would see with, say, soy or whey protein. Indeed, because they’re not dairy-free, certain whey proteins can be highly inflammatory—despite their widespread promotion by fitness professionals. It can trigger blood sugar surges and spike insulin, which are also factors for people dealing with thyroid issues.

Product Recommendations

The following products are those that I personally use and recommend—I’ve done the legwork to identify what works and what doesn’t in terms of thyroid health. Of course, feel free to conduct your own research to find which of these products, or any others, work best for you. Check your nutrition labels to make sure you’re getting high-quality protein with minimal ingredients; if you can’t pronounce it or don’t know what it is, that’s a sign of a poor-quality protein.

PurePaleo

A beef bone broth protein, PurePaleo comes in unflavored, chocolate, and vanilla. These simple flavor options differ from some of the crazy flavors you might find on store shelves—which likely contain unhealthy additives that can negatively affect your thyroid.

PurePaleo contains no artificial sweeteners, nor anything that’s inflammatory or that can impact you negatively. If you’re looking for a bone-broth protein, start with the ones that are the cleanest possible like PurePaleo. Depending on the flavor you chose, PurePaleo contains between 21 grams and 27 grams of protein per serving.

OptiCleanse GHI

The second option I recommend is OptiCleanse GHI, which, for me, is kind of the full deal. It’s packed with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other ingredients that are anti-inflammatory and support gut health and detoxification.

OptiCleanse GHI comes in convenient single-serve packets of 10, making it easy to grab on the go or portion out your protein. It contains 26 grams of protein per serving—plus, it tastes amazing!

Protein Powders Help You Meet Your Protein Needs

If you’re looking for an easy way to fulfill your daily protein needs, both of the above protein powders are solid options. You can mix and match the two in different flavors, or even mix the two together.

As you’re working toward your daily protein intake, strive to include 4 to 6 ounces of protein at each of your three meals a day, plus a snack with 2 to 3 ounces of protein as needed. Let your body guide the way for you with regard to how much protein to consume at each meal.

And while it’s always best to eat real, whole foods, clean protein powders can be a great way to up your protein, improve blood sugar and stress on the body, and help your thyroid function overall.

Protein is so important for all the body processes including thyroid function. Studies show that low levels of protein intake affect the thyroid’s ability to do its job. When selecting  a protein powder supplement to use, I take into consideration all the things that can impact the function of the thyroid. This includes their potential  impact on blood sugar and insulin, inflammation, gut health, joint/muscle health and food sensitivities.

My two favorite proteins are PurePaleo, a beef bone broth protein, which has 21-27 grams of protein – depending on the flavor. It comes in chocolate, vanilla or unflavored.

The Vegan source of protein I love is OptiCleanse GHI. It has 26 grams of protein per serving and tastes amazing! It also has a full spectrum of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and supports gut health, anti inflammation, and detoxification. It comes in packages of 10 single serve packets for convenience.

It’s always ideal to eat real, whole foods. Strive to include 3 servings of protein (4-6 oz) at each meal and if you have a snack, ½ of that would be great. This will help improve blood sugar and stress on the body which affects thyroid function.
