- You can also do this in a crock pot or slow cooker, set temperature on low and leave to simmer for at least 20 - 24 hours.

Bone broth is an essential part of a low carb/keto lifestyle. It adds essential electrolytes to your body, can be used with intermittent fasting and does not break your fast so all in all a must have. I make it and freeze my portions and drink in when I am doing my intermittent fasting.
