After doing some research into the most widely available brands, I ended up ordering Bonafide Provisions Organic Bone Broth (frozen), Kettle & Fire 100% Grass-Fed Beef Bone Broth (shelf-stable), and Vital Proteins Certified Organic Bone Broth Collagen (powdered, made from dried bone broth). If you're interested in trying bone broth, you can make it yourself (here's a great recipe for slow cooker beef bone broth), but I'm not that ambitious. Why bone broth? A few reasons: it packs some serious nutrition, with a decent amount of complete protein (5 to 10 grams per serving) and collagen, which is being linked to everything from reduced joint pain to stronger hair and nails to improved gut health it’s got more heft than herbal tea, which I’ve tried (and failed) to sub for coffee in the past and it’s now insanely convenient, thanks to a number of new brands that are selling prepackaged options and even powdered versions of it that you simply mix with hot water. So recently, I decided to do an experiment: swap my second coffee (because there’s no way I’m ditching my morning cup) for bone broth every day for at least a week and see what happened. Instead, the more I drink, the more it becomes a crutch, only boosting my energy levels up to the point where I feel "normal," i.e., not about to fall asleep any time I sit down. It would be one thing if 32 ounces of coffee a day were giving me superhuman powers, but it’s not. ![]() But while once upon a time a morning cup would suffice, I’m now a consistent two-cup-a-day kinda gal - and by "cup" I mean 12 to 16 ounces. ![]() And until recently, I’d say coffee and I have been in a pretty good relationship. ![]() I love everything about coffee - the smell, the taste, the rush of creative energy that flows to my brain just minutes after my first sip.
