Bone Broth Recipe
Recipes | January 14, 2018
Bone broth is full of minerals such as calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, silicon, sulfur, and others, in the best form that your body can easily absorb. Bone broth also contains chondroitin sulfate and glucosamine, the very same compounds sold as pricey supplements to reduce inflammation, arthritis and joint pain. Bone broth helps heal and seal your gut, inhibits inflammation, fights infection and as a bonus, bone broth is full of collagen. As we age, we lose collagen. Collagen is a super functional ingredient for beautiful skin, fewer wrinkles, and healthy joints. Sounds like the perfect protein drink!
This is my personal bone broth recipe. I usually make my bone broth at the beginning of the week and I cook it overnight in my slow cooker. Then I store it in airtight containers in the fridge. It’s also a good idea to freeze a cup or two so that you always have a reserve when you need it. This recipe calls for beef bones but you can also make a broth out of chicken, fish or pork bones.
Ingredients:
1 lb of beef bones – strong healthy bones from grass-fed animals!
2 large carrots, chopped
2 celery stalks, chopped
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 yellow onion, chopped
small handful of fresh parsley or rosemary, chopped
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 1/2 liter or more water
1 tsp salt
Instructions:
- Place bones into a slow cooker and drizzle with apple cider vinegar. This step is very important because the vinegar bring all the nutrients and minerals out of the bones and into the broth.
- Add the chopped veggies and then add enough water to cover the bones and also to make enough bone broth.
- Cook for 12 hours.
- Discard the bones, veggies and keep the liquid. Let it cool down, adjust the taste with salt and pepper. Store in containers in the refrigerator or in the freezer.
- When you store the bone broth in refrigerator, you will notice that there’s a thick layer of fat at the very top of the jar. Discard it.

Thank you Zuzka!!!! My mother loves bone broth and she started using your recepies!!!
Quick customer feedback: could you/have you done a blog/coffee talk on foods that make you hungrier? Most people know fast food and processed carbs make you hungrier, but there are also plenty of fruits, vegetables and ‘healthy’ foods that make me need to eat more and do annoying things to my body that make fitness and health more difficult, like vinaigrette and onions for instance. Before the internet was good I used to eat vegetables that made me pee more and gave me a rumbling stomach. Some pseudo-nutritionists say its not enough stomach acid in the body to digest it, but that’s really not true! Wine/alcohol is the same type of thing, broccoli and carrots too. Every recipie that I’ve tried from your website has been perfect with no bad reactions from my body, so I think you are the right person to ask about this. Have a great day!

Zuzka, where do you find grass-fed bones in L.A.? Or do you order them online?

Another favorite of mine, I am a hunter, and we make our own venison broth from the bones. I swear it is a natural medicine when people are sick also..

I wouldn’t keep it for longer than a week, but you can also freeze it.

Love this bone broth! I roasted the bones in the oven first and that added some wonderful flavor.

Thank you for adding this recipe, Zuzka! I’m going to put my store-bought bone broth on the shelf for emergencies and strive to make my own. I make my own nut milk, now I can’t stand the taste of store-bought nut milk. I had no idea about the nutritional benefits of bone broth until last week although you say it all the time 😣. Just another good habit I’m picking up during the transformation challenge 💛. Apple slices and beef bone broth made with oxtails for breakfast all this week 😋
