Wondering what bone broth is? What does it have to do with keto and what are the benefits?
WHAT IS IT?
Bone broth is a tasty liquid that is made up of water that has had bones and meat cartilage simmered in it. The amount of nutrients in bone broth will vary depending on the time of bones and meat used along with the cooking time.
THE BENEFITS
Packed full of electrolytes like sodium, magnesium, and potassium! Perfect for curing the keto flu!
It's satiating! It has little to no calories so you can consume on keto and while fasting!
Good for your gut health!
Fights infections and good for thyroid health!
Contains collagen which promotes muscle growth and healthy skin!
HOW TO MAKE IT
1. Save the bones and cartilage from something you already ate, like chicken for example. You can even use things like fish heads, chicken feet, or pig feet which make broths full of collagen and other healthy ingredients!
2. Put the bones in a pot, a slow cooker, or a pressure cooker and cover them with water. Cook the bones at a simmer for 8-24 hours. In the pressure cooker it only needs to be for 2-3. You can add vegetables for more flavor like carrots, celery, or onions!
3. Once it has finished, sift out all of the solid particles with a strainer. Now you will have your bone broth!

HOW TO USE IT
Use it in soups, add to smoothies, or drink it on its own heated up! It can keep in the fridge for up to 5 days or you can freeze it for later use!
