You’ll never guess the ingredient in this summer sip.
We all love a refreshing summer drink, but far too many are loaded with a high sugar content and even with artificial sweeteners. Worse, smoothies that may appear to be healthy are just dressed up desserts. The options for Fat Flush approved smoothies are endless—and I have a new secret ingredient to add.
It’s bone broth! This health-boosting broth is full of critical macro and trace minerals; aminos like glycine, glutamine and immune supporting proline; and collagen to heal your gut, strengthen your bones, and skyrocket your energy—to name just a few of the benefits!
A Lengthy List of Pros
If you want the digestive and immune boosting benefits of bone broth, you HAVE to be drinking bone broth made from a healthy animal (i.e. grass-fed, pasture-raised or wild caught). Only then will you be able to enjoy the many benefits of bone broth, including:
Joint Health
• Bone broth contains tons of collagen, the protein that makes up bones, tendons, ligaments and other flexible tissues
• Bone broth contains other proteins like gelatin, proline and glycine
• Contains lots of Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), including glucosamine, that are commonly taken as supplements to reduce joint pain and inflammation
Digestion
• The glycine and glutamine—both amino acids found in large quantities in bone broth—this maintains the integrity of the intestinal wall, and helps heal leaky gut
Healthy Bones
• Contains minerals like magnesium, potassium and calcium that promote strong bones
Bone Broth Smoothies
I bet you’re wondering how in the world this can go with a smoothie. Well, you’re in for a treat. The answer is: bone broth ice cubes! Popping a few in a smoothie gives you a satisfying (and cool) summer drink that provides a powerhouse of nourishment. And, in case you’re wondering, yes—they do taste delicious!

Sips and Savings
I know that summer tends to be especially busy. If you don’t have time to make your own broth, I recommend opting for Kettle & Fire. I trust this brand because their formula is made using only 100% organic bones, vegetables and herbs, is free of any hormones, antibiotics and artificial ingredients, and is USDA approved.
Especially for my fans, they’re offering a chance to stock up and save big! With a purchase of 6 cartons, you’ll receive 2 free or with a purchase of 12 cartons, you’ll receive 4 free—plus free shipping with either option. These broths are just as delicious in a fall soup if you’re hesitant to purchase in bulk. Year-round, I always have several cartons in my pantry.
Do take advantage of the savings here. I’ll be enjoying bone broth smoothies along with you this summer!
