Drink to better health!

Followers of the Paleo and Weston A. Price diets have turned Bone Broth from an outdated staple of many traditional diets into the trendiest morning drink since coffee. Touting dozens of health-boosting benefits, including the easiestway to get more high-protein gelatin, collagen, and other marrow-based nutrients into your diet, bone broth drinkers say a morning “cup o’ bo” can help you trim your waistline, strengthen hair and nails, and enjoy clearer, younger-looking skin. Plus, bone broth is traditionally used to reduce inflammation, and improve skin, gut, and joint health!!

Though it sounds like a strange swap, starting your morning with a cup of bone broth isn’t really that strange at all. Warm and comforting, it offers the same ritualistic benefits of coffee. But the natural fats will keep you satiated longer. Added benefit: you drink bone broth straight, so don’t need to worry about packing on calories with added sugar or cream.

Want to try it? The best way to start is make a huge batch on Saturday or Sunday morning. Bone broth is most beneficial when it cooks for 24-48 hours. So plan on making a large pot at the first of the week, then enjoying it for the rest of the week. Try storing it in mason jars in your fridge, then scooping just what you need into your cup each morning. One batch will easily last a week, making your morning prep simple! Just heat and enjoy.

The finest bone broths should gel up once placed in the fridge. Though you’ll get added nutrients from any bone based broth, the gelled broth indicates an ample presence of gelatin. Our three recipes below are designed to get you batches of hearty, gelled bone broth. Don’t worry, though! You don’t have to sip a hunk of jello. Once heated, the bone broth turns smooth and creamy. 100% sippable from a cup or shot glass OR poach an egg in it to make a simple morning “Miso Soup.” You can also use the broth in cooking. It’s great for making sauces, soups, and stews. Any savory dish can be benefitted from the addition of bone broth. And your body will enjoy the many benefits, too!

Beef Bone Broth

Beef bones can be found in the freezer section of most health food stores. Alternately, local farmers will often have bags of bones for sale. They are generally inexpensive and easy to acquire. Use high-quality, grass-raised beef bones whenever possible.
