My Bone-Building Breakfast Bowl Recipe (41g Protein + 455mg Calcium in 3 Minutes)
I used to struggle with breakfast.
I knew I needed protein and calcium for bone health, but I couldn't figure out how to get enough of both without eating a massive meal or spending 30 minutes cooking.
Then I created this bone-building breakfast bowl. Now it's my non-negotiable morning ritual.
The Result: 41g protein + 455mg calcium in one 3-minute bowl. That's 41% of your daily protein needs and 38% of your daily calcium needs.

Why This Combination Works
This isn't just a random combination of healthy ingredients. Each component serves a specific bone health purpose:
1. Protein Builds Bone Structure
Bones are about 50% protein by volume (primarily collagen). Without adequate protein, your body can't build or maintain bone structure. The 41g protein in this bowl provides the building blocks your bones need.
2. Calcium Provides Mineral Density
The 455mg calcium works with the protein to create strong, dense bones. Research shows protein and calcium work synergistically - you need both.
3. Vitamin C Enhances Absorption
The berries provide vitamin C, which enhances calcium absorption from food. It's not just about how much calcium you eat - it's about how much you absorb.
4. Omega-3s Reduce Inflammation
The chia seeds provide omega-3 fatty acids, which help reduce inflammation that can contribute to bone loss.
The Impact on Your Daily Goals
After eating this bowl, you've already achieved:
- 41% of daily protein goal (if targeting 90-100g)
- 38% of daily calcium goal (if targeting 1,200mg)
The rest of your day becomes so much easier.
You just need another 50-60g protein (easily achieved with a chicken breast at lunch and salmon at dinner) and another 700-800mg calcium (cheese, leafy greens, fortified foods).
Totally doable.
Why Genepro Makes This Work
Without Genepro, this bowl would have 30g protein - good, but not optimal.
With Genepro, it has 41g protein - almost half your daily needs in one meal.
Why Genepro specifically?
- 99.9% absorption: Your body actually uses all 11g
- Unflavored: Doesn't change the taste of your yogurt
- Dissolves instantly: No grittiness or clumps
- FODMAP-friendly & lactose-free: Easy on digestion
- Ingredient Optimized® technology: Maximizes protein benefit

Variations
Once you have the base formula (yogurt + Genepro + nuts/seeds + fruit), you can customize:
- Swap almonds for walnuts (omega-3s)
- Use different berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- Add a drizzle of honey for sweetness
- Sprinkle cinnamon (blood sugar regulation)
- Add hemp seeds (extra protein + omega-3s)
The Bottom Line
This bone-building breakfast bowl transformed my approach to bone health.
Instead of stressing all day about hitting my protein and calcium targets, I knock out almost half my needs at breakfast. In 3 minutes.
The research is clear: women over 40 need 90-100g protein and 1,200mg calcium daily for optimal bone health. This bowl makes that goal achievable.
I make this 5 mornings a week. It takes the same time as making coffee. And it gives me confidence that I'm doing everything I can to prevent fractures and maintain bone strength as I age.
With 1 in 2 women over 50 facing osteoporotic fractures, prevention matters.
This bowl is my prevention strategy. Try it. Your bones will thank you.
