Bone Broth Fast Mimicking Programs

Sometimes your body just needs a break.

Traditional fasts can be difficult to maintain, and pretty hard to stomach (…literally and figuratively). Our founder, Chef Marco Canora, teamed up with Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, Linn Steward, to create four broth fast-mimicking programs that will help you to reset your system without eliminating food entirely.

These programs range from entry-level (with broth and light additives) to broth only. Each contains a suggested meal for breakfast, lunch, snack and dinner. If you’ve never attempted fasting before, you should consult with your doctor before trying these programs.

First thing’s first…

To complete these fast-mimicking programs, you’ll need to know how to craft a simple and delicious Brodo broth beverage. You can find our four most popular beverage recipes as pre-made pouches in the frozen aisle at your local Whole Foods Market. Or, you can quickly whip up your own version of our blended drinks right in your home.

Here are the recipes for our five most popular broth beverages. Each recipe makes one 10-oz. beverage.
