NOW Foods Sports Nutrition, Chicken Bone Broth Powder made with Premium-Quality Chicken Bone Extract, 1.2-Pound

This product requires some patience to use. Understand that this product is UNFLAVORED, so it is not recommended to add to plain water and drink. You WILL hate the taste of you do that. If you want to drink it straight, add some chicken bouillon to it as well. If you want to add it to a soup or a stew to increase your protein intake, I suggest putting the powder in a separate glass, adding HOT water to it, about 2 cups, then mixing it with a coffee frother or in a mixing bowl with a handheld or automatic mixer. This product is high in collagen so it will froth when you mix it, but the froth dies down when added to soup. Wait for your broth to settle a bit, and then add slowly to soup while mixing. If your mixture is clumping either your mix speed is too low or you have too much powder to liquid ratio. Hope this helps

I was quite excited when I saw this nice jug of Chicken Bone Broth. I love sipping a hot cup of bone broth for breakfast and lunch and I was pleasantly surprised to see Now Bone Broth contains 29 grams of protein in an 8 oz cup. What a sweet way to get more protein in my system I thought. I hurried and bought 2 jugs so I thought I was set for the next month. I even went to set it up as a subscription.I made me a huge 16 oz. Serving to start off with and I honestly think this may be the nasties more bitter product on plant earth. I am shocked that any taste tester at Now would say “You got it, that’s some mighty tasty bone broth Jim. We need to get this tasty and delicious product to the market because it’s going to be a hit.” I say this joking but this stuff will peel the paint off your walls so be careful. All I’m getting from this is I’m out more than $50 bucks. I tried to take it to the soup kitchen and was kicked out and ask never to return again especially since I was trying to poison the bums.Update: I didn’t want to waste my money so I experimented using a half serving of Now Bone Broth and a half serving on Lonolife Chicken Bone Broth. Lonolife Bone Broth is the best tasting bone broth ever and I learned if I would mix Now and Lonolife together than it changed the taste from horrible to very good. With Now you would get a lot more protein grams.

I bought this hoping to use it as a high-protein bouillon alternative—but let me be clear: do not drink this straight. On its own, it smells like mold and tastes like burnt chemicals. I couldn’t get it down as a sipping broth. That said, once I started experimenting in the kitchen, it turned out to be surprisingly useful.I’ve used a full scoop in homemade chicken Alfredo sauce—delicious. It blended in perfectly, added a solid protein boost, and no weird aftertaste. I also tried 1/4 scoop in 1 cup of uncooked rice (added to the water as it cooked), and I couldn’t taste it at all. No strange flavor, just an extra bit of nutrition.One mixing tip: the powder can be clumpy if added straight to liquid. I’ve found it blends much easier if you first mix it with another powder (like a dry seasoning blend or protein powder), then add that to your liquid. Helps it disperse without that gritty cloud effect.So: if you’re looking for a subtle, high-protein addition to savory meals, this can work very well. But if you’re hoping for a standalone sipping broth or a flavor enhancer straight out of the jar, you’ll likely be disappointed.

Tastes terrible alone, but it's unflavored. You have to be creative with it. I added some chicken bullion and Himalayan salt. Perfect.

this is straight up boiled chicken bones. no seasoning whatsoever. have you ever sipped plain boiled chicken bone broth? yeah, bland and not tasty. and this is also NOT for mixing into smoothies (savory smoothie anyone?🤢🤮). I certainly never throw chicken in my blender with strawberries, blueberries or any other fruit. smh...on the label: good for adding to soups and sauces. I chose soup. it does have a very high salt content, so I started by adding by the tablespoon to approx 32oz boiled water and built up my flavor from there. adding mirepoix, umami, sasón and sage to taste made all the difference. that's really where I built such a good, comforting savory flavor.as long as you use this as a base to build savory, umami flavor on, it's a good value. looking to add to your sweet smoothies? swipe left, this isn't it.

This is the worst bone broth protein additive I’ve ever purchased. It clumps into a gummy mess, it doesn’t fully dissolve, even in boiling water, and the taste is beyond atrocious. It’s a waste of money, I will never buy it again and I will talk everyone I know out of buying it. Purchase at your own risk.

I will likely not purchase again. I will have to either use solely to add protein to soups or casseroles or find some way to make it palatable on its own. I was hoping to use it for a savory protein boost (I don’t like sweet protein shakes and things all the time. I crave savory.), but this stuff doesn’t taste very good. Maybe if I seriously water it down??? If I can find a way to make it taste good and serve as a good standalone protein fix I will up my rating. My first time experience using it this morning was unappetizing. Tasted like a rotisserie chicken that had been left roasting until it turned to charred powder.

I add it to my protein shakes. Whey, egg white powder, marine collagen, chicken bone broth and beef bone broth. Mixes fine, I use a blender like normal people; and taste nothing but the strawberry flavored whey.
