MAKING BREAKFAST WITH BONE BROTH MIGHT SOUND STRANGE, BUT THINK ABOUT IT: WE ALL KNOW THAT BREAKFAST IS THE MOST IMPORTANT MEAL OF THE DAY, SO GETTING THE DAY STARTED WITH THE RIGHT NUTRIENTS IS CRITICAL. RESEARCH HAS ALSO SHOWN THAT EATING PROTEIN—WHICH BROTH HAS IN SPADES—IS ONE OF THE BEST WAYS TO SUSTAIN A FEELING OF FULLNESS THROUGHOUT THE DAY, ESPECIALLY IN BETWEEN MEALS WHEN YOU MIGHT OTHERWISE FEEL THE URGE TO WOLF DOWN A DOUGHNUT AS A SNACK.

When we substitute broth for our coffee, we notice how quickly our morning hunger fades while our early day energy skyrockets and lasts through the afternoon. Sprinkle in a few chia seeds, or drink broth alongside your eggs, and you’ll have met a significant portion of your daily protein needs before even walking out the door.

In some countries, and especially in Asia, eating and drinking broth for breakfast is a long-held tradition. In Vietnam, for instance, a standard breakfast consists of pho. But if you’re not interested in breakfast soup, there are plenty of other ways to include bone broth in your first meal of the day. You can glaze vegetables, sauté eggs, soak grits, and cook up our gluten-free, dairy-free version of a breakfast classic, biscuits and sausage gravy, all thanks to the versatility of bone broth. Nobody ever said breakfast had to be sweet, so ready your taste buds for flavor-packed savory morning meals.
