I love coffee<\/a>, but in all honesty, coffee’s just not that into me. I\u2019m one of those lucky \u201ccaffeine-sensitive\u201d people\u2014where even a small cup of joe makes me jumpy and jittery\u2014and I swear it makes me break out<\/a>, too. Not worth it, in my opinion, but gosh, I miss that electric energy. So when I started hearing more about the benefits of bone broth–specifically, drinking a warm mug of it first thing in the a.m.–I was intrigued. Could it be the amped-up answer I was looking for?<\/p>\n

For five almost-consecutive days, I sipped on a steamy mug of jarred beef bone broth every morning. Here\u2019s what happened when I did the bone broth\/coffee<\/a> swap.<\/p>\n

The Benefits of Bone Broth:<\/h2>\n

The test subject: <\/strong>Epic Provisions Beef Jalapeno Bone Broth<\/a><\/p>\n

Bone broth is like a superfood<\/a> version of stock. It\u2019s a long-boiled broth made from both meaty and cartilage-rich bones, plus vegetables like celery, carrot, and onion. Because bone broth is often cooked for 36 to 72 hours straight, the minerals in the bones and cartilage can be sufficiently extracted. The protein is broken down into amino acids, which makes the liquid incredibly nutrient-rich and super easy to digest<\/p>\n

Another of the numerous benefits of bone broth? It’s packed with collagen, which has been shown to boost gut health and skin firmness. Collagen is purported to protect the lining of your digestive tract and can also smooth out fine lines in skin. Talk about a beautifying<\/a> breakfast!<\/p>\n

Bone broth comes in packaged liquid or powdered versions; I chose a heat-and-serve liquid variety.\u00a0 In my bleary a.m. state, I can barely manage boiling or microwaving something, let alone boiling, measuring, and blending (as is the case with most powdered versions).<\/p>\n

The Results:<\/h2>\n

1. I liked starting with something salty.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As far as breakfast goes, I tend to phase in and out of sweet and savory. I\u2019ll do oatmeal and stewed apples one week, then flip to tomatoes and dairy-free cream cheese on toast the next. For this test, I was definitely in a sweet spot. I almost never have meat for breakfast, so it was kinda hard to swallow a savory, meaty broth, but the saltiness seemed to wake me up more. Surprisingly, I then found I wasn\u2019t hungry for my pumpkin spice granola, opting for a slice of sourdough toast with butter instead.<\/p>\n

2. I felt focused and calm.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t notice any major energy bursts from my bone broth morning drink, but instead, I felt super grounded and focused for the entire morning on the days I drank it. One day I forgot to make the broth–I felt tired and groggy all day, and desperately needed an afternoon nap.<\/p>\n

3. It kept me fuller longer.<\/strong><\/p>\n

While this drink alone did not<\/em> suffice for breakfast for me (I\u2019m a breastfeeding mama\u2014no liquid diets allowed), it helped make my morning meal last until lunch. I usually feel a snack pang coming on around 11 o\u2019clockish, but was actually able to hold off until my 12 p.m. grain bowl.<\/p>\n

4. It curbed my afternoon sugar\/coffee cravings.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Maybe it was just because I was busier than usual this week, or maybe it was the bone broth\/coffee swap, but I didn\u2019t reach for my normal afternoon chocolate or flat white (an espresso bev I\u2019ll occasionally allow myself, jitters be damned) for three out of the five days. I like to think it was the extra morning boost of minerals that helped me sail through that afternoon slump.<\/p>\n

5. It didn\u2019t change my skin–yet.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Drinking a cup of collagen-rich liquid every morning for weeks would probably have big skin benefits, but for the five days I tried it, I didn\u2019t really notice much. In fact, I actually broke out on my chin (I blame hormones\/stress), and couldn\u2019t really tell if there was any new glow. (Will keep you posted.)<\/p>\n

The Verdict:<\/h2>\n

I probably will keep bone broth as part of my morning routine, but I won\u2019t be incorporating it every day. It\u2019s pretty pricey (I went through a jar every two days), and there were just some mornings I really wasn\u2019t feeling the meaty vibe. But I did appreciate the warming boost and sustained energy that a bone broth morning drink provided, so on those long-haul days, I\u2019ll definitely keep it in the roster.<\/p>\n
