Help Prevent (or Fight) Osteoporosis With This Greek Yogurt Breakfast Bowl

Donna Sergi • Jul 20, 2019

One of my favorite sayings is that food is medicine. What we put into our bodies can have an incredible impact on our overall well-being, and can even help prevent or fight things like osteoporosis! I love this greek yogurt breakfast bowl because it’s packed with nutrients and ready to go in just a few minutes (I recommend leaving it in the fridge overnight so you’re all prepped for the next day). As a bonus, non-fat Greek yogurt is high in calcium (you’ll get 18% of your RDI from one container), which means it’s perfect for strengthening bones and preventing osteoporosis. It also contains a good amount of protein, vitamins, and fiber.
