Disappointed
1 out of 5 stars review

Stomach Slayer

I would recommend drinking this if you want to fight demons in the bathroom all day and night. I wanted to try this so I made a cup before work and had about 4 sips before dumping it because it was already making me nauseous. I spent the whole day running to the restroom to release the runs. A very unenjoyable experience. Never again.

I bought to sip &

I bought to sip & assist weight loss & add protein to my diet. Although tastes better than store bought bone broths, I wish Bare Bones beef was just a bit tastier. I want to add additional spices, but I’d like to experiment in recipes for added protein.

What could be better!

If you want a quick tasty way to get some quality protein, collagen and all around health benefits this is a sure thing. Add some quality fat like grass fed ghee and whatever else you'd like and you're set. It's satiating, quick and easy. I'm a customer for life!

Tastes great, more filling

This is a great product. I use it often as an evening snack. It is tasty and quite satisfying. Despite only being 50 calories I find it takes the edge off my desire to eat more. I feel it helps me avoid eating a bunch of calories I don't want or need between dinner and bedtime.

Questionable ingredients - Too Bad.

This bone broth is cut with "Chicken Flavour" as the second ingredient - whatever that is. Can't be chicken, otherwise they would call it chicken. It also contains maltodextrin which spikes your insulin 60% more than sugar does. Too bad - It appears to be a great product until you dig a bit. Tastes great with sea salt added, but I'm not into ingesting undisclosed ingredients such as "Chicken Flavour".

Excellent Product

Have used both Beef and Chicken and both are excellent and dissolve quickly in hot water. I use strictly in the mornings to curb appetite through lunchtime. Very convenient to cut the package, pour into mug of hot water, stir and be gone!!! Highly recommend

It tastes fantastic!

I use both instant beef and chicken. I'm partial to the chicken flavor. My question is of course with the salt content. High blood pressure runs in my family and at times I'll have two or three of these a day just to sip on. I notice the chicken flavor has 546mg of salt. Is this added salt from your company or is this formed naturally? Wondering if too much of it is a bad idea

Hi, Shannon, we're thrilled you like the instant broths so well. Our founder Ryan's first priority when making food is to make food that tastes good. He's a chef; he can't help himself, lol. Our philosophy is to create nourishing foods using simple and consciously sourced ingredients. The majority of the sodium in the broths occurs naturally from the ingredients used, not the addition of salt. Our classic bone broths contains around 270mg per cup, while our instant bone broths are higher at 440-460 per cup. Our instant bone broth is designed to be a protein snack that also provides hydration. Sodium is essential to providing hydration, and the case of our instant broth, most of the sodium comes from bakers yeast extract, which is essential to the flavor. When creating our products, we always start with low sodium and work our way to what believe is the best taste. Because of the savory/umami expectation from consumers, it’s very difficult to create a broth that actually tastes good and that is truly low sodium. Additionally, all salt is not created equal. We do not use iodized salt, and only add a small amount of sea salt solely for the nutritional benefit of the added minerals. Natural sea salt used sparingly can provide a plethora of health benefits including, but not limited to, strengthening the immune system. A huge benefit for those older in age. We believe a small amount of quality salt provides significantly more benefit than harm, and will continue to produce and create products according to this philosophy.

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!

Different

I really enjoyed the beef bone broth before the change in ingredients and processing. Now it’s not as hearty and once mixed ther seems to be more of seasoning like pepper for instance left at the bottom. The ramen flavor initially had the aroma of ramen, but once I started to drink it it left a different taste. Maybe due to chicken bone broth as the base. Having said all that, the beef bone broth will continue to be part of my breakfast routine.

So convenient!

I was already a fan of Bare Bones for their flavors and quality. Now that there is an instant option, it's easy to keep a stash of packets around. I frequently work in my car, so all I need is my travel kettle and some water to transform my sad cold lunch into a savory satisfying meal with a mug of bone broth!
