How is Bone Broth Protein Made?
Bone Broth is a broth made by soaking and cooking chicken, beef, or pork bones in water, vinegar, and spices to break down the vitamins, minerals and nutrients in the bones. It can be cooked on the stove top, in a slow cooker, or pressure cooker.
It is different from normal broths because it is cooked 3-4 times longer to release as many nutrients as possible and it is loaded with protein. Each cup has about 7-10 grams of protein.
How to use bone broth:
Use bone broth any time you would use a cooking liquid or broth! Such as to cook rice, quinoa, or in any soups or stews.
Some people freeze bone broth cubes to put in smoothies.
Drink it warm in a mug as a sipper!
My favorite soups using bone broth are Chicken Sausage Quinoa Soup and my favorite Healthy Turkey Chili!

You can either make it... on the stove, in a crock pot, or even the instant pot.
Depending on where you live you could buy it locally. If you live in the Hampton Roads, I highly recommend The Stockpot.
