We found the cheat code<\/a> for cosy weeknight dinners<\/a> that taste as though they took hours of preparation and love \u2014 but will take you fifteen minutes.<\/p>\n

‘Nonna-maxxing<\/a>‘ is everywhere right now. The social media trend glorifies the rituals of Italian grandmothers \u2014 slowing down, embracing analogue pleasures, and cooking good food<\/a> for the people you love.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It all sounds wholesome<\/a>, cosy, and exactly what I want my winter, and frankly, my entire life, to look like. But the irony is, many of us don’t have that kind of time. While I’d love to spend an afternoon making handmade gnocchi<\/a>, my to-do list screams my name, and another pre-marinated Aldi butterflied chicken ends up in the airfryer.<\/p>\n

That changed a few weeks ago, when a simple pantry swap<\/a> made the nonna-maxxing life feel genuinely achievable \u2014 even on a busy Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

Bone broth.<\/a><\/p>\n

A centuries-old staple<\/a> that’s packed with amino acids and collagen protein<\/a>, bone broth<\/a> is made from cooking chicken<\/a> or beef<\/a> bones for about 24 hours. Naturally, neither my husband nor I have the time to do that ourselves, which is why I’ve been testing the Nutra Naturals Bone Broth<\/a>, to see if it could fast-track me to the wholesome life.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Need to knowThe ‘nonna-maxxing<\/a>‘ trend is all about slowing down and cooking from scratch \u2014 but Nutra Naturals Bone Broth<\/a> is the shortcut that still delivers that slow-cooked flavour depth, available as a concentrate or powder. The bone broth concentrate<\/a> is the pick for drinking straight \u2014 it dissolves cleanly with no dregs \u2014 while both formats work as a versatile stock substitute across soups, stews, braises and even baked savoury dishes<\/a>. Concentrate jars<\/a> keep for up to six weeks in the fridge and yield 25 cups; powder jars<\/a> are shelf-stable for longer, making 15.5 cups \u2014 so the format you choose comes down to how often you cook and how much pantry space you have.

How can I use bone broth in cooking?<\/p>\n

Nutra Naturals Bone Broth<\/a> works brilliantly as a stock substitute \u2014 and I’ve been using it for pretty much everything. I’ve added chicken bone broth concentrate in the Native Herbs flavour<\/a> to a sweet potato, chicken and lentil stew. I’ve made a delicious Asian-style chicken soup with natural chicken bone broth concentrate<\/a>, rice wine vinegar, soy sauce and veggies. The beef bone broth powder<\/a> was a brilliant replacement for stock in a warming, slow-cooked Guinness beef stew (which only took fifteen minutes of prep time, but tasted like I spent hours on it.) I’ve even added chicken bone broth powder<\/a> to a zucchini slice for a Sunday lunch with friends, who all came back for seconds.\u00a0<\/p>\n

There’s something about adding bone broth<\/a> into a recipe \u2014 instead of unwrapping a cheap supermarket stock cube \u2014 that makes every meal feel like it’s been made with so much more love, and that’s exactly the kind of ‘Nonna-maxxing’ I’m after. The prep time hasn’t changed, but each meal has turned out so much tastier, and felt more wholesome and considered than dinners I used to make.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Does Nutra Naturals Bone Broth taste good on its own?<\/p>\n

Yes! Some of my colleagues have even gone as far as replacing their morning coffee with a warming cup of broth<\/a>. While there isn’t anything on this earth that would get between me and my morning coffee ritual, I’ve been loving having a cup of bone broth<\/a> with my lunch, especially on cold winter days. I’ve found the bone broth concentrate<\/a> is the best option for drinking straight, as it dissolves so beautifully in hot water and leaves no dregs. Each flavour is seriously delicious, and I’ll be racing to restock as soon as my fridge runs out of concentrate jars.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The verdict<\/p>\n

Where has this bone broth<\/a> been all my life? Made from ingredients I actually recognise, with flavours that are genuinely delicious, Nutra Naturals Bone Broth<\/a> is the cheat code for nonna-maxxing \u2014 letting you pull together meals that taste slow-made and deeply considered, without adding any stress to your week.<\/p>\n
