You can’t type into google anything about gut health and not get one of the top results talking about bone broth. It is quite the buzz the last couple of years and for a good reason. Bone broth is slowly starting to be the mecca of gut healing goodness. What makes it so healing is that it is packed with gelatin which is naturally gut healing and a sealing protein. And those of us that have already consumed quite a bit of bone broth know that it can get a bit boring. Sure you have probably thrown in your veggies to step up the flavor, but have you tried exploring with some more adventurous seasonings like ginger, turmeric, garlic, and chili? What is not to love about a gut-healing broth than adding in some anti-inflammatory foods too? More bang for your sip! Here is our coconut curry bone broth recipe-–bone broth taken to a whole new level.
