The internet has become obsessed with bone broth hot chocolate, and I am on board with this trend. If you like an umami/salty flavor in your hot coca (think a salted caramel hot chocolate) then this is for you. Bone broth is so good for you. It's great for gut health and reduces inflammation in the body, which lets your body effectively manage its hormone levels. It also contains collagen which helps with skin and joint health. It's also high in nutrients like magnesium, calcium, and phosphorus!
Bone broth is good for any phase, but if I had to put it into one I would assign it to the menstrual phase. This is because it reduces inflammation and helps calm the body During the menstrual phase, you want to stock up on micronutrients that are the building blocks of blood. Your hormones are at their lowest levels and energy is low, so keep your blood sugar steady with low GI foods.
