mixed feelings right now

I love the chicken bone broth. I have been drinking it everyday for almost a year. Recently, chicken is no longer available and we can only by "Classic chicken" which I find to have a very off-putting smell and taste. Very disappointed that the original chicken flavor is no longer available in 16 pack. I also would love to have a bulk option, as someone who drinks every day. The packets are handy for travel, but at home, I would prefer less packaging waste.

Easy protein

I love that I can squeeze in another 10g of protein and the collagen, easily once or 2x a day. Tastes great easy to mix. Chicken probably my favorite, lemon ginger kind of tastes like chicken. Beef is the most hearty, but garlicky too. I throw it in my stews for some extra flavor.

hORRIBLE new taste/smell

I have been using this product for months as a new customer and believe it has helped my acne prone skin heal. The flavor was delicious and I raved about this product. Now the recipe has changed and the flavor is absolutely horrible. So bad I can't even stand the smell of it. has a very gamey taste... please bring baCK THE OLD RECIPE. UNFORTUNATELY I WILL HAVE TO SWITCH BRANDS :(

Excited for my next order

I've been trying this bone broth on and off for about two weeks on weekdays, and I have to say, I prefer the instant broth over all other types. The flavor is spot-on — not overly meaty, but hearty enough to enjoy on its own, almost like a comforting soup. I definitely feel the energy boost when I take it in the morning. I usually add a squeeze of lemon, half a lemon for a subtle citrus kick, or a whole lemon if I want a stronger flavor. I also like adding turmeric and black pepper for an extra health boost. One thing I've noticed is that my face looks brighter and less dry after just a couple of weeks, and it also curbs my appetite for several hours. I'm planning to use it as a base for soups when I want to add protein as well. Overall, this bone broth hits the perfect balance of flavor and nutrition, and I'm excited to continue using it!

Something has changed!

I've been drinking this product for several months and have loved it up until my last purchase. I don't know if they changed their formula or if I just got a bad batch, but it is undrinkable! Smells like canned dog food and the taste is worse. I did love the product but something has changed :(

Perfect

I love this instant Bone Broth.i was skeptical at first but It smells and tastes exactly the same as liquid bone broth. It is so soothing, comforting.filling and hydrating. I love the immediate feeling of a warm hug in a mug and the nutrition powerhouse for my body. I usually consume two packets at once. Sometimes I mix flavors. Any flavor combination is perfect. I drink it and use it as a flavor/meal enhancement. I love all of the flavors.

I like it!

Powered bone broth?! I wasn't sure. I've just been recently introduced to the health benefits of bone broth, and well-meaning homemakers on YouTube extol the benefits of making your own, citing it's a 100 times better than anything you can buy. But after making my own first batch, I found that I don't have the time to be roasting bones everyday! So I gave Bare Bones a try. It proved to be much more flavorful than my homemade attempt. The mix dissolves easily, and the on-the-go packets are perfect! Thanks!

Thank you for sharing your experience, Dutchess! We're glad to hear that our bone broth exceeded your expectations. We respect your effort to make your own bone broth; no, it isn't easy, and it is time-consuming. We're glad to do that work for you. We look forward to serving you again in the future!

No more junk snacks

Pleasant experience all around. Easy to order. Easy to make at the office on the run. Great flavor and filling enough to get me through the day or if I need a snack between meals. A nice change to my routine instead of grabbing junk food and great on a cold dreary day.

New chicken broth recipe is bad

It seems that there's a new instant chicken broth recipe, and it's unpleasant to say the least. It has a strong metallic smell/taste. The only improvement is that it stirs into water easier without clumping. My first order from this company was the variety pack to try all their instant broths. I really liked the chicken, so in my second order, I got the chicken in bulk... Only to find out it's now a repulsive, new recipe. I'm very disappointed.

"Maltodextrin has higher glycemic index than table sugar" according to MedicalNewsToday

Here i thought i was drinking something healthy and carb-free but they put a known chemical in this that can cause "a spike in blood glucose" /that/ "can be particularly dangerous for people with diabetes or insulin resistance". This is the worst kind of company that purports to provide healthy alternatives and clearly knows the science of this chemical yet for whatever reason uses in their products anyway. I won't be giving them any more of my money and want a refund for this product.

Hi, Lisa, while our Instant Bone Broth Mix does contain maltodextrin, it’s used solely as a carrier for apple cider vinegar and lemon juice, contributing 0g of carbohydrates, and is considered a negligible source of sugar. Maltodextrin is derived from plant sources as are many food "chemicals," and is clearly printed on our labels as an ingredient. If you purchased our product from our website, please reach out to our Customer Happiness team at hello@barebonesbroth.com for a refund. Cheers, The Bare Bones Team
