Our grannies instinctively knew the power of boiling up bones to build up the little ones. â¤ď¸
These days, most of us arenât simmering pots on the stove for hours, but we can still capture all that goodness in simple, modern ways.
A few scoops of gelatine, a cup of bone broth, and the best-quality magnesium⌠it all helps fill the gaps our kids feel the most.
Hereâs the cosy, glycine-rich soup we made today, nourishing, and so easy:
Recipe
⢠500g sweet potato
⢠400g carrots
⢠1 white onion
⢠3 cloves garlic
⢠2 tablespoons coconut oil
⢠2 cups bone broth
⢠3 tablespoons gelatine, bloomed in 2 cups water
Roast all the veg in coconut oil until soft and golden.
Add the bone broth and bloomed gelatine, blend until creamy
And if youâre plant-based, you can still support glycine and amino acid intake, no bones or gelatine needed.
Vegans can build up these key amino acids through foods like legumes, quinoa, tofu, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, chia, and plant-based collagen boosters that provide the precursors the body uses to make its own glycine.
because itâs found most abundantly in things like bones, skin, and connective tissue, itâs another reason why the Mighty kids magnesium bisglycinate is such a gift for vegans,
The magnesium is actually bound to glycine, which means every dose delivers:
Not only highly absorbable magnesium but an extra source of glycine, without needing any animal ingredients
Itâs completely vegan, soothing on the stomach, and helps fill a gap that can be tricky to get from a plant-only diet.
