Blueprint: Bone Broth Hot Chocolate – Gluten-Free, Low-Glycemic, and Gut-Healing

Introduction & Concept

Bone broth hot chocolate? Yes! This unique, gut-healing, protein-rich, and immune-boosting hot chocolate is designed to nourish the body while satisfying your chocolate cravings. Instead of using traditional dairy-based hot cocoa, we are infusing bone broth for an extra layer of collagen, minerals, and amino acids, making this a functional beverage that heals the gut, supports joints, and balances blood sugar levels.

This version is completely gluten-free, dairy-optional, low-glycemic, and packed with antioxidants from raw cacao, healthy fats, and adaptogenic ingredients. It’s the ultimate upgrade to classic hot chocolate, perfect for a cozy, comforting drink with real health benefits.
