Beet & Sweet Potato Bone Broth 

Bone broth, particularly that made with knuckle and marrow bones, can be difficult for some people to tolerate on its own. It may be helpful to start with a meat stock, which uses bones with meat still attached, such as short ribs, oxtail, beef shanks, or a whole chicken. The nutrients from the meat, including collagen, cartilage, and proteins, help maintain a strong and healthy gut lining, which can reduce bloating and digestive issues. Additionally, these nutrients support healthy bones and joints, among many other health benefits.
