Easy Crock Pot Bone Broth
Ingredients:
1 lb-2 lbs bones from pastured animals
(chicken feet/necks or beef bones with marrow are best)
4 cloves organic garlic
1-2 gallons filtered water
Sea salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
4 cloves organic garlic
1-2 gallons filtered water
Sea salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
other vegetables (optional, can make it bitter )
other herbs (optional)
Directions:
Put all ingredients in slow cooker overnight or longer and set to low (8-24 hours). In the morning, strain broth and freeze in separate glass containers.
Bone broths provide important minerals and vitamins that we need to cope with stress in our daily lives. It is an inexpensive way to get minerals and vitamins without taking supplements, which sometimes are not absorbed by the body when isolated from foods in supplements. Broth also fights wrinkles, cellulite and is good for loose skin after weight loss.
It’s like botox in a bowl!
You can put veggies or herbs but sometimes they turn bitter when cooked for a long time. I would use the broth made here to make other soups later where you use veggies, grass fed meats and herbs. This slow cooking recipe is aimed at getting the most minerals out of the bones to heal gut inflammation.
Too busy to make it?
If you are too busy to make your own broth I suggest you buy it from here.
Also you can use grass fed gelatin to mix it into your drinks or smoothies if you do not have time to make broth.
