Method #3: INSTANT – Where to Buy Bone Broth

What I like about Kettle & Fire are the ingredients: simple and good. I had a couple of questions about the ingredient list that Kettle & Fire answered for me:

One of the ingredients listed is “Organic spices” – I was pretty sure there wasn’t anything untoward there, but I like to know EXACTLY what’s in a product before I recommend it to you guys. Turns out the organic spices are just organic pepper, bay leaves, thyme, parsley, and salt.

Also, “Chicken Broth” is listed as an ingredient. Turns out the chicken broth is made from chicken feet, which are rich in collagen. I was pretty stoked to find out that Kettle & Fire is made with chicken feet!

You can find Kettle & Fire bone broth on Amazon. They also make soups such as butternut squash, broccoli cheddar, and mushroom bisque. They’re great to have on hand for last-minute healthy meals.
