Recipe FAQs

→ What makes this broth bowl collagen-boosting?

The bone broth base is naturally rich in collagen, which breaks down during the long simmering process. This collagen supports skin elasticity, joint health, and gut function when consumed regularly.

→ Can I make this vegetarian?

Absolutely. Substitute the bone broth with high-quality mushroom broth for a vegetarian version that still provides depth of flavor and beneficial nutrients.

→ How long will the broth keep in the refrigerator?

Store the prepared broth bowl in an airtight container for up to 4 days. The flavors often develop and improve after a day or two.

→ Can I freeze this broth bowl?

Yes, freeze without the fresh spinach for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator, then reheat and add fresh greens before serving.

→ What vegetables work best in this bowl?

Root vegetables like carrots, parsnips, and daikon radish hold up beautifully during simmering. Leafy greens like kale, bok choy, or Swiss chard also make excellent additions.
