12. Garnish each glass with a few fresh mint leaves by gently placing them on the surface.

Savory Herb and Garlic Infused Chicken Broth
Haven’t you ever wished for a broth that feels like a warm hug? This savory herb and garlic infused chicken broth is exactly that. It’s simple to make but tastes like you spent all day in the kitchen.
Serving: 4 | Pre Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 90 minutes
Ingredients
– 1 whole pasture-raised chicken, about 4 lbs, cut into 8 pieces
– 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
– 1 large yellow onion, roughly chopped
– 3 medium carrots, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
– 3 celery stalks, cut into 2-inch pieces
– 8 cloves garlic, smashed
– 1 tbsp whole black peppercorns
– 2 bay leaves
– 4 sprigs fresh thyme
– 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
– 1 tbsp kosher salt
– 8 cups cold filtered water
Instructions
1. Pat the pasture-raised chicken pieces completely dry with paper towels.
2. Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large stockpot over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes.
3. Working in batches to avoid overcrowding, sear the chicken pieces for 4-5 minutes per side until deeply golden brown.
4. Remove all chicken pieces and set aside on a plate.
5. Add the roughly chopped yellow onion, carrot pieces, and celery pieces to the pot. Sauté for 6-8 minutes until the vegetables are softened and beginning to caramelize.
6. Add the smashed garlic cloves and sauté for 1 more minute until fragrant.
7. Return the seared chicken pieces and any accumulated juices to the pot.
8. Add the whole black peppercorns, bay leaves, fresh thyme sprigs, fresh rosemary sprigs, and kosher salt.
9. Pour in the 8 cups of cold filtered water, ensuring all ingredients are submerged.
10. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over high heat, then immediately reduce the heat to low to maintain a bare simmer.
11. Simmer uncovered for 90 minutes, occasionally skimming off any foam or impurities that rise to the surface with a slotted spoon.
12. Carefully remove the pot from the heat and let it cool slightly for 15 minutes.
13. Using tongs, remove and discard the large chicken pieces, herb sprigs, and bay leaves.
14. Set a fine-mesh strainer over a large, clean bowl or pot. Ladle the broth through the strainer, pressing gently on the solids to extract all liquid.
15. Discard the remaining solids. For a clearer broth, you can optionally strain it a second time through a strainer lined with cheesecloth.
16. Let the broth cool completely before storing, or use immediately.
Gorgeously aromatic and deeply flavorful, this broth has a rich, golden hue and a silky mouthfeel. Its savory depth makes it perfect as a base for soups, risottos, or simply enjoyed on its own with a sprinkle of fresh herbs.

7. Measure and add 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract for flavor depth.
8. Place 1 cup of ice cubes on top of all other ingredients in the pitcher.
9. Secure the blender lid tightly.
10. Begin blending on low speed for 15 seconds to break down the larger frozen pieces.
11. Increase the blender speed to high and blend for 45-60 seconds, or until the mixture is completely smooth and no ice chunks remain. (Tip: If the mixture is too thick, pause blending and add an additional 1/4 cup of almond milk through the lid’s feed tube while the blender is running on low.)
12. Stop the blender and check the consistency by dipping a spoon into the mixture; it should pour thickly but smoothly.
13. Pour the finished smoothie evenly into two chilled glasses. (Tip: For an extra-frosty presentation, briefly chill your serving glasses in the freezer for 10 minutes before blending.)
14. Serve immediately.
Velvety and luxuriously thick, this smoothie delivers a perfect balance of tart berry brightness and creamy banana sweetness. The chia seeds add a delightful, subtle texture, making it feel substantial. For a creative twist, pour it into popsicle molds for a frozen, antioxidant-rich treat on warmer days.
