You may have heard the health focused crowd talking about how good bone broth is for healing and maintaining a healthy gut. Maybe even preventing leaky gut and other maladies of the intestines. As a SIBO survivor and someone who is determined to maintain the healthiest gut possible to keep IBS and other issues at bay, I definitely tried it. Well, if you can stomach it, bone broth is just fine in the winter and sometimes it was my first food of the day, but it is way too hot for bone broth in the summer and early fall!
I only recently discovered bone broth protein powder. It is supposed to have the amino acids and a lot of the nutrients of real bone broth. Think of the possibilities – smoothies, pancakes, protein bars! The only processed foods I still crave are protein bars. I really like having something to take with me on the go with a protein boost because I do like to work out and want to maintain a good amount of muscle mass. So bone broth protein powder might be an amazing solution for a lot of things.
Please note that is processed and has some “gums” in it, unlike the vegan protein powder I bake with that doesn’t have any additives, so those with the ultra sensitive guts might not be able to tolerate it. But the vegan protein powder has pea protein and hemp protein and some people are sensitive to those, so it is really another trial and error game. But so far I love the bone bone protein powder.
My favorite recipe thus far are Banana Carrot Bars (below) that are transportable in containers and taste pretty awesome (more like cake than a solid bar). But I am still waiting for a company to make protein bars without dairy or gluten or soy or additives or grains or sugar or pre-biotic fibers or artificial sweeteners or dates. I’ll be first in line to buy.
