Beet & Sweet Potato Bone Broth 

I am always perfecting my broth, trying to figure out flavor combinations to make broth more palatable and easier to consume on a daily basis. Bone broth, especially those made with knuckle and marrow bones, can often be difficult to tolerate on their own for some people. They are more robust in flavor and some people feel they need to be incorporated into various recipes like my soups in order to consume.

I believe I have mastered this particular broth so that it is tolerable to sip yet sweet enough to add into smoothies and still great to use as a base in any recipe. The sweetness from the beets and sweet potato really balance out the strong flavor of the bones. Give this a try and let me know what you think!
