When it comes to healthy eating and promoting a speedy metabolism, there’s a great, easy way you can change up your cooking routine AND add in a ton of beneficial nutrients that promote weight loss: it’s called bone broth.
As you might have already guessed, bone broth is just soup broth that comes from animal bones, most often chicken or beef bones. People are going crazy over this type of soup base because the use of the animal bones allow it to contain high levels of protein, nutrients and flavors, with a minimal need for extra ingredients like fats and sodiums that can lessen the health benefits of soup.
Plus, bone broth can be quite simple to make. Ahead, see our favorite bone broth recipes that will kickstart your healthy eating plan for 2020… and we also found a yummy vegetarian-friendly alternative to bone broth!
