GFF’s Bone Broth Recipe

Okay, how do I make this Elixir of Life?

It’s not hard, but it’s time consuming. It’s also ugly.😝

1. Get some chicken feet. 1-2 pounds. Okay, if you’re squeamish, like me (and I can’t even look at dismembered feet), it can be a neck. Or its back.
2. Cut up a bunch of veggies like carrots (2), celery (2 stalks), onions (1), parsley (bunch), garlic (2 cloves), turmeric (half a thumb). You can also use good ole parsnips and turnips.
3. Secret ingredient: apple cider vinegar (helps pull the minerals out of the bones)

Ready to go!

1. Rinse off bones
2. Place in a crockpot
3.  Toss in veggies and a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar
4. Cover with 4 inches of filtered water
5. Cook for 24 hours on low
6. Take out all the big chunks of withered foodstuff and feed to your pet pig.
7. Strain the rest of the liquid and toss the crud. Try using cheesecloth.
8. Drink the broth and be happy. Refrigerate (for up to a week) or freeze the rest (up till forever) .
9. Heat up and consume every morning. The best breakfast ever! Also good for lunch, dinner, dessert, and midnight snack. Take it to work in a thermos. Eat it on the go instead of M&Ms.

I know it seems counterintuitive and wasteful to use a bunch of veggies, throw them out, and then put in new veggies. But you’ve actually “used up” the original veggies by draining every last vitamin and mineral out of them into super concentrated broth, so what’s left is just the carcass of the celery. The soul is gone.

Watch a fun video about it here:

Although it is healthier to eat fresh, you can buy it online, for example here. Better yet, pick up some fresh or frozen at your local (healthy) grocer. Or maybe you can buy some off your neighbor!

Here’s an alternative for extremely lazy people, like me. Amazon will deliver this high quality collagen powder right to your doorstep and you can throw it into a smoothie or your morning oatmeal. No chicken feet! This is not the whole kaboodle, but it’s a really good compromise.

Live Forever! You’re welcome.
