Bloody Bull – a Bone Broth Cocktail
by Alex Wittenberg
on Jun 19 2015
Prep Time: 3 min • Yield: 2 servings
Ingredients:
3 ounces potato vodka (2 shots)
1 cup Beef bone both
1 cup organic tomato or vegetable juice
Beef bone broth frozen ice cubes or regular ice cubes
Directions:
Combine first 3 ingredients in a pitcher or drink shaker and whisk or shake well. Serve over bone broth ice cubes.
Variation:
A Brothy Mary is sometimes prepared with only the broth and tomato juice as noted above; however, I think it’s much more flavorful seasoning it as a Bloody Mary. Here’s the recipe for that:
3 ounces potato vodka (2 shots)
1 cup Beef bone both
1 cup organic tomato or vegetable juice
1 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 to 2 teaspoons Worcestershire Sauce
1 teaspoon garlic, minced (optional)
½ teaspoons tabasco
½ teaspoon Celtic or Pink Himalayan salt (if juice is unsalted)
½ teaspoon pepper
Beef Bone Broth frozen ice cubes
Chipotle in Adobo, sauce only (optional, for smoky and hotter variation)

Just have fun with whatever you’re in the mood for.
Lemon water is, of course, a no-brainer. I add lemon slices to pure water, a great tonic for re-energizing after a long day.
Or cut up some orange and lime slices and add to mineral-enhanced water. Totally refreshing.
If you’re in the mood for cukes, grab some at the farmers’ market and add some slices (maybe three to six per pitcher) to super cold water.
(This is an excellent substitute for sodas and other sugary drinks. I make different kinds all the time, using everything from cucumbers to citrus fruits.)

Prep time: 3 min • Yield: 1 serving
Ingredients
1 cup almond milk or other nut milk
1 scoop Bone Broth Protein in Vanilla or 1 packet Vanilla Super Smoothie
1/3 to 1/4 cup canned coconut milk
1 baked apple
3 to 4 tablespoons of the spiced juices from the baked apples
1 tablespoons maple syrup
6 to 9 ice cubes
These ingredients are based on personal taste. In using the juices from the baked apple you may choose not to add more spices:
1/8 to ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 to ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Dash of ground allspice (optional)
Dash of ground ginger (optional)
Directions
Put all ingredients in a blender and whip until smooth and creamy. Optionally, sprinkle a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg on the top.
Notes This is apple pie in a glass! If your protein powder is sweetened, or you're on my Bone Broth Diet or 10-Day Belly Slimdown, omit the maple syrup. You can substitute the canned coconut milk for 1 to 2 tablespoons of nut butter for a nuttier flavor. Since this tastes like dessert to me, I will sometimes pour it into two small bowls and freeze it for about an hour and eat it with a spoon!
Hope you enjoy!

All Natural Sports Drinks (I Call RocketFuel)
by Alex Wittenberg
on Apr 10 2014
Nothing could be easier than making your own sports drinks. Whether they are for you or your kids there is a simple basic recipe. From there, you can play with the amount of natural sweeteners and fruit juice(s) to develop the flavors you like. You can mix up the juices any way you choose and use honey or maple syrup. We prefer the maple syrup because its flavor is more subtle than honey. Here is a basic recipe, along with several of my favorites.
Basic Sports Drink Prep time: 10 min • Yield: a little over 4 cups (1 quart)
½ cup pure filtered water (to make a simple syrup)
¼ cup raw organic honey or organic Grade B maple syrup (you can use a little more if you want it sweeter, but ¼ cup seems to sweeten it perfectly to my liking)
¼ teaspoon Celtic sea salt
3 ½ cups pure filtered water or coconut water
¼ to ½ cup freshly squeezed juice or organic juice (You might want to add more juice for your kids. There are no rules. Just be sure to use an unsweetened juice.)
Instructions
Bring ½ cup water to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in sweetener and salt. Let cool. Pour remaining ingredients into a pitcher or jar. When honey/syrup mixture is cool, add to pitcher, stir, and refrigerate.
