7 Easy Ways to Use Bone Broth Powder You Probably Haven’t Tried

Bone broth powder might be the hardest-working thing in your cupboard. One tablespoon, hot water, a quick stir, and you’re done. No simmering for 16 hours, because we’ve already done that part for you.

You probably know the classics already: a warming mug, a stock-cube swap in soups and stews, and a proper Sunday gravy. Here are seven ideas that go a little further.

1. Protein coffee
Stir a tablespoon of Pure Beef into your morning coffee. It has a neutral flavour and adds 9.6g of protein, without asking you to change a thing about your routine.
Top tip: mix it into a splash of hot coffee first, then top up. No clumps, just your usual cup.

2. The better instant noodle
Bin the sachet. Cook your noodles in Beef Marrow or Chicken + Veg instead, then add a soft-boiled egg and a handful of greens. It’s a 5-minute ramen that tastes far more considered than it is.

3. Broth popcorn
Toss freshly popped popcorn with melted butter and a generous sprinkle of Beef Marrow. It’s savoury, moreish and a little bit naughty, so film night may never be the same.

4. Congee
Broth spooned over rice is one of the oldest comfort foods there is. Simmer rice slowly in Pure Chicken until it’s soft and silky, then finish with spring onion, ginger and a drizzle of sesame oil. It’s warming, gentle and deeply satisfying.

5. Crispy roast potatoes
Toss par-boiled potatoes or root veg in oil and a dusting of broth powder before they go in the oven. You’ll get golden, crunchy edges with a savoury depth that will have everyone reaching for seconds.

6. Broth butter
Mash a spoonful of broth powder into softened butter. Spread it on hot toast, melt it over corn on the cob or let it pool on a steak. Keep a little pot in the fridge and look very accomplished.

7. Pupsicles
Our pet broths aren’t just for mealtimes. Freeze some in an ice cube tray or spread it over a lick mat for a cooling treat on warm days. If your pet is very young, elderly or on a special diet, check with your vet first.

How much should I use?

• For a mug: one tablespoon (10g) in 250–300ml of hot water.
• For cooking: start with one tablespoon per 250ml of liquid, then adjust to taste.
• Always follow the directions on your pouch.
