GREEN TIP
Make your own bone broth with beef/chicken bones -  A natural way to heal your gut and improve your health. There’s a reason why people have been making soup when they aren’t feeling well, and if that soup is made with bone broth, it is truly healing.
Here's how: 

Ingredients 
x3lbs of chicken or beef bones 
x1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
x1tsp salt
x1 medium onion, peeled and halved
x2sticks of celery (cut into thirds, with leaves attached)
x2 medium carrots, peeled and halved
x2 smashed garlic cloves
x1 bay leaf, optional
x12 cups filtered water 

1. On a stove top, slow cook all ingredients in a pot for 12-15 hours, before draining and storing.
2. Strain through a fine mesh sieve into a second pot, extracting as much liquid as possible. Discard solids in your compost, if you have. Cool strained stock to room temp before storing in the refrigerator. 
3 After 24 hours, the broth will thicken and you can scrape the fat off the top and continue to store it in the fridge for 3-5 days or transfer to freezer safe containers and freeze up to 3 months
