A Nourishing Postpartum Snack
Are you looking for a nourishing snack to have after you have your baby?
Try this Bone Broth that I recommend to all my postpartum mommas!
Bone Broth can help aid the healing process and help your body recover more quickly.
Continuous Slow Cooker Broth 🍲 [Vegetarian recipe at the bottom]
From Nourishing Broth: An Old-Fashioned Remedy for the Modern World" by Sally Fallon Morell
Makes about 1 quart per day.
1 whole chicken (or the carcass and bones of a roasted chicken)
2 chicken feet and 1 chicken head, if available
2 bay leaves
1 tablespoon white black peppercorns
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
Any vegetable scraps you have on hand
Cold filtered water
Place the whole chicken or the carcass of a roasted chicken and optional head and feet into your slow cooker; add the bay leaves, black peppercorns, vinegar, and any vegetable scraps you have on hand (if using carrots, peel them before adding). Add enough cold filtered water to cover the bones, cover, and cook on low for 1 week (this process is safe as long as there is plenty of liquid in the slow cooker), checking occasionally to ensure that the ingredients remain covered with water and adding more water as needed.
After 24 hours, you may begin using the broth.
Note: The broth comes out with loads of gelatin "jiggle." You can freeze what you don't use.
For Vegetarians: I recommend celery juice + vegetable (with as many veggies possible and veggie stock) broth without the chicken and avocado oil mixed in.
Enjoy!
