I tried Brodo bone broth and it completely changed my mind about bone broth

Rethinking bone broth flavor

Since I switched to a low-carb diet in 2017, I’ve tried bone broth several times with the hopes of falling in love. I’ve heard about the health benefits of bone broth for quite some time, but I could never seem to overcome the taste. As a big foodie, I need to enjoy the flavor of something if I consume it regularly. Bone broth is a liquid made of boiled animal bones; I don’t blame you if it isn’t exactly appealing. I’m glad I was open-minded enough to try Brodo Bone Broth, as it has completely changed my mind about what bone broth can taste like.

Tagged “the best bone broth on the planet” by the brand itself; I wholeheartedly agree. If you’ve failed to incorporate bone broth into your diet, here’s why you should reconsider trying bone broth again again.

About Brodo Bone Broth

Bone broth has been around for centuries, but only in the 20th century was it first industrialized. Brodo’s bone broth focuses on the traditional way of making bone broth, with real bones from real animals on real pastures.” Now, there’s a lot to love about this brand. First, they only source bones from cooperatives and family farms that raise animals without antibiotics or hormones. The brand also promises no concentrates, no preservatives, and no shortcuts.

There’s no doubt all of these health-conscious attributes are important. But for me, its taste sets Brodo apart from other health-focused bone broth brands. Again, it needs to be pretty tasty if I make it part of my health routine.

The taste difference

Instead of just straight animal bones, Brodo uses whole-cut organic vegetables to add a better flavor to its bone broths. Additionally, the long-simmering process creates a more flavorful and intense bone broth taste than traditional store-bought bone broths. Drinking Brodo’s bone broth is not just tolerable; it’s enjoyable.

Another thing that sets the brand apart for me is the flavor selection. You can find a great mix of the classics with unique savory and flavored options. Some classic options include the Roasted Organic Chicken Broth and Hearth Bone Broth, which features a mix of beef, chicken, and turkey bones. However, my favorites are the unique flavors, such as the Spicy Nonna Roasted Garlic & Chili Broth or the Deeply Rooted Ginger & Turmeric. The added flavor of the spices used in these flavors brings the drinking experience to the next level.

I’ve recently discovered there are more ways to use Bone broth than I first thought. As delicious as it is just warmed up in a cup, these broths are also great for use as a base in soups and stews or to keep meats moist during cooking.

I wore the Oura Ring for three months and it changed the way I look at fitness
My experience with the Oura Ring
Oura Ring

I’m a huge fan of fitness gadgets. If there’s a new wearable making waves, chances are I’ve already tried it or at least added it to my wishlist. Over the years, I’ve been wowed by a few and let down by many. From tracking every step with an Apple Watch to analyzing my workouts with a Garmin, I’ve tested just about every fitness tracker on the market. So when I started noticing the Oura Ring showing up on the fingers of wellness influencers, elite athletes, and even friends who don’t usually care about this stuff, my curiosity kicked in.

The Oura Ring promised something different: a sleek, screenless wearable that focused less on how many workouts you crushed and more on how well you recover, sleep, and handle stress. I ordered the sizing kit, picked out the Rose Gold color, and committed to wearing it every day. And while I wouldn’t use it as my sole fitness tracker, especially for in-depth workout stats, after three months, I can confidently say the Oura Ring changed the way I think about fitness. It helped me shift from obsessing over numbers and calorie burn to understanding my body’s rhythms and prioritizing recovery.

I tried barefoot running — here’s what no one tells you about doing it
If you're a runner looking for a change of pace, consider barefoot running
Couple running on beach

In hindsight, my path to barefoot running feels inevitable. In real time, though, it was a roller coaster ride that began when my chiropractor recommended that I try Vibrams, aka “the toe shoes.”
My chiropractor is a brilliant healer disguised as a chiropractor, so I trust his recommendations completely. The first thing I noticed when I made the switch was that my weekly mileage immediately jumped from a maximum of about 30 to slightly over 50 miles a week. I’m an endorphin junkie, so once that happened I knew I was hooked for good.

Healthy meals, less stress: My HelloFresh experience
Are the meals delicious and are the recipes easy to follow? Are there any leftovers?
Hello Fresh Pork Mango Salsa Tacos meal

As someone with an autoimmune disease, it’s important to me to eat healthier, which in turn helps keep my pain and inflammation lower and makes me feel better in general. The less processed, junky, and sugary, and the more natural and healthier, the better. There’s also the waistline to think about.

As my schedule got busier, I had less time to cook my usual favorite healthy meals, and the holidays came around, and I found myself eating more and more, shall we say, “not so healthy” meals. Our habits and routines can shift over time, so I wanted to try meal kits like HelloFresh to see if they could help me eat more wholesome, natural foods despite my limited time.
