SO, I am a juicing fanatic, especially in the beginning of the year after holiday feasting and time to really reflect and set some new intentions for myself to explore. There is no better way to reset your digestive system and regain mental clarity and balance.

A new element that I have been adding into my juice cleanses is Bone Broth, generally made with bones and cartilage and sometimes a little meat. Bones are roasted first (especially for beef bone broth) to improve flavor and then simmered for a long period of time (at least 24 hours) in a crockpot or on the stovetop, creating a dense broth with a plethora of minerals, collagen, gelatin and other good ingredients for our bodies.

My favorite bone Broth at present is Bison. Savory and soothing, it gives you just what you need during your fast and adds to your gut health and ability to absorb trace minerals. If you are juicing now or plan to in the future, be sure to incorporate bone broth into your routine to elevate your entire cleansing experience. And if you are not juicing, no worries as you can still incorporate it into your lifestyle through cooking (rice, veggies, etc) with the bone broth you prefer or even consuming the broth as is for breakfast as a tea. I love to add cayenne pepper to mine as an additional anti-inflammatory boost.
