If you’re pregnant, postpartum, or deep in your motherhood journey, this recipe is for you!
It's packed with protein, healthy fats, collagen, and essential nutrients like iron, zinc, B vitamins, and fat-soluble vitamins - the building blocks your body needs to restore iron levels, repair tissues, and sustain deep nourishment through pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond.
The slow-cooked beef chuck is rich in heme iron and essential amino acids, supporting blood, muscle repair, and energy levels. The bone marrow adds a deeply nourishing boost, supplying healthy fats, fat-soluble vitamins, and minerals that support brain function, hormone balance, and cellular health. With bone broth as the base, this dish is naturally high in collagen, glycine, and proline, which help with gut healing, skin elasticity, and joint support during pregnancy.
And the best part? It’s so simple to make, which let’s be honest, makes it even better!
