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

Donna Sergi • July 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.

Ingredients

Non-fat Greek yogurt

Your favorite toppings! Some suggestions:

Fruits

  • Bananas
  • Blueberries
  • Strawberries

Nuts (watch your portion size with healthy fats!)

  • Chia seeds
  • Pecans
  • Cashews
Natural sweeteners

  • Raw honey
  • 100% pure maple syrup

Directions

Add your preferred amount of Greek yogurt to a large bowl. Add any toppings you’d like (this is the fun part) and enjoy! It’s really that easy.
