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 tried the new ChefsTemp ProTemp Plus meat thermometer and here’s what I learned
How to up your meat-cooking game
ChefsTemp Pro Temp 2

Digital meat thermometers were first invested in the 1990s, which marked a significant shift for home cooks seeking quick and accurate temperature readings while cooking. Recently, however, a new wave of meat thermometer technology has arrived: the wireless smart meat thermometer. As someone who cooks meats at home nearly every night of the week, I love cooking my meal to the perfect temperature and avoiding the guessing game of "Is it cooked enough?" I tried the new ChefsTemp Pro Temp Plus 2 meat thermometer, and here's what I learned.
Design

I've tried several other meat thermometers before trying the ChefsTemp Pro Temp Plus 2, including many of the top brands on the market. Immediately, I was impressed with the probe-holder device and the large display on the device. The charging device comes with a magnetic backing, which makes it easy to put right on the front of your fridge. Throughout the cooking process, you can view the current temperature of your food either from the device itself or through the mobile app for remote temperature monitoring. In contrast, other brands of wireless meat thermometers I've used only display the temperature on the mobile app.

Eggs of different shades of white and brown sitting in carton

The 2025 egg shortage, caused by the bird flu outbreak, has made finding eggs in grocery stores a new challenge for many Americans. The bird flu has caused egg prices to soar, but even if you're willing to pay the higher price, you're probably having the same experience I have recently had; the outbreak has made it nearly impossible to count on finding eggs on your next trip to the grocery store at any price. Sam Cutler, health coach and founder of MINDFULL, shares the potential nutritional gaps caused by suddenly removing eggs from your diet and discusses the best high-protein foods and nutrient-dense swaps to keep meals nutritious and delicious- even if you can't find eggs. Here's what she shared with us.
Nutritional benefits of eggs

"Eggs are nature's multivitamin, which provides high-quality protein, healthy fats, and essential nutrients like B12, helping to support your energy, mood, and cognitive function," Cutler said. With egg pricing soaring and shortages leaving grocery store shelves empty, Americans are scrambling to find new ways to replace eggs and maintain a balanced diet without this kitchen staple.
