Bone broth by Karen (Be Well)

Bone broth by Karen (Be Well)

Can you be bothered ..

.. to find a local butcher who has some grass-fed beef?
.. to be brave enough to see and touch their bones?
.. to watch YouTube videos on how to cook a bone broth properly?
.. and to make sure you don't fck it up while it's simmering on your stove for 24 hours?

Well, thanks, Karen, for taking these jobs off us. She's been cooking these bone broths for almost 2 years now in Ericeira and goes the extra mile by designing each blend with Traditional Chinese Medicine to deliver extra potency. The bestseller is the beef broth with fennel, sage & rosemary, while Karen's favourite is the beef broth with ginger, spring onion & shiitake.

I contacted her initially because a friend was feeling sickish and was craving bone broth. After he tried and enjoyed it, I got some for myself too - and now I love it for 2 main reasons:

Firstly, I just crave it. I generally trust my intuition for food cravings, as long as it's not for something clearly unhealthy like sugar.

Secondly, most days, I like to have only 2 proper meals, and bone broth makes me nicely satiated between meals. Plus, it's just such a good feeling to have something waaaaarm in the morning that is a bit denser than tea. Also, I've heard rumours that coffee on an empty stomach may not be good for ya, aye? So now it's bone broth on an empty stomach for me.

The practical stuff:
  • You'll get 3 cute jars with 720 ml each, which can be stored in the fridge for up to 7 days
  • If you want them to last longer, pop a jar or two in the freezer
  • Once in the fridge, it will turn into a jelly-like pudding (no, your fridge isn't too cold - this is a sign of the good stuff in it)
  • Enjoy 2 big spoons as a drink or half a jar for a meal replacement
  • Warm it up for about 3 - 5 mins (don’t let it boil)

Karen brews every 7 - 10 days and the price includes delivery around Ericeira. She’ll message you on WhatsApp to confirm your order and delivery date. Be Well!

You'll get 3 big jars (delivery fee included!)

Who is behind this?

I'm Svenja - I have the Ericeira bug since May 2022. When people ask me why I am so obsessed with Ericeira, I say: because it's like being in a village but with city people. So many smart, experienced people around, who love nature, sports, and fancy cafés (sorry, I don't want to be a hipster, but yea). 

Svenja from Erijoy

In April 2023, a local Uber driver in Ericeira recommended me that thing called padel tennis and since then I'm mainly a padel-girl. But you can also find me running and I want to start dancing again! During the day, I'm doing marketing for 2 small Swiss teams: a medical software company 👩‍⚕️ and a piano store 🎹

Padel Ericeira

Why this site? Working in medical software companies is nice and useful. But I’ve been a manual therapist before and while it felt good to fix/care for a patient’s back pain, I always wanted to work on preventing medical issues. So my initial motivation for this site was to promote sports activities and healthy lunches.

Then my friend Zé came around the corner and started talking about how he really would like to build a platform where you can book all the things in Ericeira (like massage therapists, surf lessons or dog walkers). So in the end, with this site, we now combine his imagined booking platform and my healthy stuff :) Feel free to shoot any feedback to svenja+ze@erijoy.com
