Since going low-carb, I’m more conscious of making nutritious choices. So I’ve been incorporating healthier meals and snacks that still leave me feeling satisfied.

One of my favorite ways to satisfy hunger between meals is sipping on homemade broth. That’s why I’m sharing this super easy keto bone broth recipe made in the slow cooker.

How is it different from stock?

The main difference between bone broth and normal stock is that bone broth requires long cooking times. It’s made by simmering animal bones for 12-24 hours which releases the nutrients in the bones to form a gelatin.

The gelatin from beef bones contains amino acids and antioxidants.These components help to reduce joint inflammation, strengthen your immune system, and improve your bowel movements.

Ways to enjoy keto bone broth

I normally sip on a hot cup of bone broth straight out of a mug. But, it can also be used as a base for keto soups to help deliver incredible flavor while also being low-carb.

Making this beef bone broth recipe is a perfect way to keep me satisfied during the cooler month in New England! And, it’s a fantastic low carb snack to have available to avoid those sweet temptations.

Homemade broth is easy to take along to work as well. I just put it in the container for my lunch crock pot and let it simmer at my desk!

Ingredients needed

This keto bone broth recipe only requires a few ingredients. With just a few pounds of mixed grass-fed beef bones, and roughly chopped vegetables, you are well on your way.

You may be wondering where you can buy grass-fed beef bones. Just ask the meat counter of any market that sells grass-fed beef. Some Whole Foods Market stores also carry them in the frozen section.

How to make bone broth keto

It’s best to make the broth in your crock pot. That way, it can slow cook on your counter for hours without worry.

Just follow these simple steps to make this easy slow cooked broth.

• Roast the bones by putting them in a baking dish and allowing to cook in the oven for an hour at 400°F.

• Cut up your vegetables while the bones are roasting.
• Place the prepped ingredients in the crock pot and cover completely with water.

• Start with the slow cooker on high.
• Switch the setting to low once a high simmer is reached.

• Slow cook on low for 12-48 hours.

That’s all you need to do to make bone broth from scratch!

Time required

Although the prep time to make homemade beef bone broth is minimal, the waiting and hands off time is up to 24 hours.

Since I’m busy working during the week, I like to make up a batch on the weekend. I’ll get it started on Saturday and then finish it up on Sunday. If I have more time, I’ll start on a Friday evening to get the whole 48 hours.

What if you don’t have time to wait or can’t find high quality beef bones? I recommend using Kettle & Fire bone broth instead.

I love that Kettle & Fire uses grass-fed bones and organic ingredients. Plus, their bone broth is shelf stable so I can stock up my pantry!

When I do have the time, I make a big batch of this bone broth and am thankful for every sip!

I encourage you to try it out and spend the time slowly simmering this savory broth.You’ll see how satisfying and nourishing a steaming cup can be.
