Ingredients
• 1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
• 1 Tbsp Healthy Origins Liquid Coconut Oil
• 1/2 tsp turmeric
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder
• 1 scoop Healthy Origins L-Glutamine Powder
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• Fresh chives, for garnish
How to Make Savory Golden Broth
Step 1: Warm the Broth
Warm the broth in a small saucepan over medium heat until steaming, but not boiling.
Step 2: Whisk in the Coconut Oil and Spices
Whisk in the coconut oil, turmeric, and garlic powder until combined.
Step 3: Add the L-Glutamine
Remove from heat and let cool slightly, then whisk in the L-Glutamine powder until dissolved. Adding it off the heat is the best way to preserve L-Glutamine, which can break down at high temperatures.
Step 4: Blend for Froth (Optional)
For an extra frothy, latte-like texture, blend the mixture for 10-15 seconds before pouring. Vent the blender lid and cover it with a towel, since hot liquids expand when blended.
Step 5: Season, Garnish, and Sip
Season with salt and pepper, garnish with fresh chives, and sip warm.
Tips for the Best Sipping Broth
• Start low-sodium. Low sodium broth lets you control the salt and season to taste at the end.
• Don't skip the black pepper. Black pepper is a classic partner for turmeric and adds a gentle warmth.
• Make it richer. Swap in bone broth for a heartier, more savory sip.
• Add a little zing. A pinch of ground ginger or a squeeze of lemon brightens the flavor.
• Watch for stains. Turmeric can tint countertops and blender jars, so rinse right away.
The Benefits of L-Glutamine
L-Glutamine is an amino acid that your body produces naturally to serve as a building block for proteins. It's the most abundant amino acid found in your blood and muscle tissue, and it plays several important roles throughout the body.
Helps Fuel the Immune Cells in Your GI Tract
A large portion of your immune system lives in your gastrointestinal tract. L-Glutamine helps supply fuel to the immune cells inside your GI tract and supports healthy immune cell function.*
Supports Muscle Health
Because it's so abundant in muscle tissue, L-Glutamine supports muscle health and may help optimize athletic performance, which is why it's popular with active adults.*
A Building Block for Proteins
Like other amino acids, L-glutamine helps your body build the proteins it uses every day.
Easy to Add to Your Routine
Unflavored L-Glutamine powder mixes easily into water, smoothies, and warm (not hot) foods and drinks like this broth, so it's simple to make part of your day.
Why Choose Healthy Origins L-Glutamine?

Why We Use Coconut Oil in This Recipe
A spoonful of our Liquid Coconut Oil gives this broth a silky, rich mouthfeel and helps the turmeric blend in smoothly. Because it stays liquid at room temperature, it whisks right into warm broth with no melting required.
