Homemade Bone Broth Recipe

Bone broth is all the rage right now and for good reason. It’s benefits go way beyond a delicious, homemade stock for cooking. Your joints and immune system may benefit as well as your skin, metabolism and gut. Although, it seems as if it’s the miracle superfood, don’t go out and buy bone broth just yet. You’ll benefit much more from the REAL stuff made at home (or a reputable company) rather than the store bought varieties that may have additives, excessive sodium, artificial colors and other chemicals.

5 Superfood Protein Smoothie Recipes

One of the easiest ways to pack a meal full of nourishing superfoods is through an easy to make superfood shake. What do I mean by a superfood shake?

The superfood protein smoothie is one that contains protein (animal or plant), a healthy source of fat (nuts, coconut oil, seeds) and a healthy dose of veggies and fruit. It can be a fantastic way to get a balanced meal or snack without a ton of prep work or clean up – a win win!
