Recipe FAQs

→ What makes this broth collagen-boosting?

The long simmering process extracts collagen and gelatin from the bone broth base, while apple cider vinegar helps release minerals and nutrients from the bones.

→ Can I make this vegetarian?

Yes, substitute the bone broth with high-quality mushroom broth and omit any animal products. The vegetables and healing spices still provide excellent nutritional benefits.

→ How long does this keep in the refrigerator?

Store in airtight containers for up to 5 days. The broth may gel when cold, which is normal—the gelatin indicates high collagen content.

→ What vegetables work best in this bowl?

Carrots, celery, broccoli, zucchini, and spinach are featured, but you can substitute kale, mushrooms, bok choy, or any seasonal vegetables you enjoy.

→ Why add black pepper to the broth?

Black pepper contains piperine, which significantly enhances the absorption of curcumin—the active compound in turmeric that provides anti-inflammatory benefits.

→ Can I freeze this broth bowl?

Yes, freeze for up to 3 months. Leave out the spinach when freezing and add fresh when reheating, as it can become mushy after freezing.
