Yoplait Greek Yogurt Giveaway

We've been noshing on some of Yoplait's Greek yogurt this past week.  We've tried the Strawberry, Honey Vanilla, Blueberry and Plain.  All have that thick, custard-like consistency I love in Greek yogurt and the flavors are uncomplicated and true.  Each creamy cup (6 oz, $1.19) has zero fat and Each cup contains 12 grams of protein, 2 times that of the leading yogurt and is the only brand of Greek yogurt with Vitamins A and D.  Best of all, it has 12 grams of protein per cup, which rates high in my book.  I need so much more protein now that I'm pregnant again and one cup of Yoplait's Greek yogurt helps get my day off to a great start.  My kids adore it too.  I would certainly buy it again as it doesn't contain aspertaime or any other chemicals that I sometimes find in yogurt. 

I'm hosting a Yoplait/ Clash of the Titans giveaway too!  You know, Clash of the Titans the latest Hollywood remake based on Greek mythology.  Yoplait wants to empower women to discover their inner goddess, so they have teamed up with Warner Bros.’ and Legendary’s new epic feature film, “Clash of the Titans,” and actress Izabella Miko, who plays Greek Goddess Athena. Incidentally, the first "Clash of the Titans" movie was the first my family ever owned and played in our VCR when I was a kid.  It was an epic moment in itself. 

Here's how the Yoplait/Clash of the Titans contest works-

Check out the previews and inside scoop on Yoplait's Greek yogurt and Clash of the Titans (in 3D April 2) below.  The first 50 readers to sign-up in my comments section will receive a coupon for a free cup of Yoplait Greek.

Yoplait Delights

Recently I spoke with the Food Networks Aida Mollenkamp about Yoplait's newest treat, Yoplait Delights. Rich, creamy and only 100 calories these little snack packs are sweet parfaits that are perfect pick me ups.

I tried out all four flavors (Triple Berry Creme, Lemon Torte, Chocolate Raspberry and Creme Caramel) with my family and was actually surprised. I was expecting a weird texture, strange after taste or bad artificial flavor in general. Most low-calorie snacks have at least one of these. I found none of those with Yoplait Delights. My oldest daughter immediately took to them. They are sweet, pretty and a dessert for her. What four year old would pass that up? The fact that she likes yogurt as one of her favorite foods already put Yoplait Delights in her biased little corner. I'm a tougher sell as is my husband.

First, I talked with Aida of 'Ask Aida' who naturally agreed about how great these little treats are especially for the a mid-day snack. The Delights were created with just this idea in mind. Yogurt is a great afternoon energy booster. It's better to snack on something low calorie and great tasting versus noshing on a pack of cookies or chips. The Delights being 100 calories a pack are a great way to get a boost and satisfy that sweet tooth craving.

I really loved the Lemon Torte and Creme Caramel. They were smooth, creamy and deliciously thick. I savored each one and was happy to know that they are readily available at my local grocery store and only $2.99 for a pack of four. While I always prefer to go natural when I can the Yoplait Delights are one of the best tasting low calorie snacks I have tried in a very long time. I don't mind indulging in them or allowing my family to do so as well.

Yoplait Fiber One Yogurt

What do you get when you take fifty calories plus five grams of fiber and zero fat? You get Yoplait Fiber One yogurt ($2.79, 4-pack). Same great Yoplait yogurt taste but with added fiber.

Jumping on the fiber band-wagon Yoplait has created three fruity flavors- strawberry, peach, key lime pie and standard vanilla. We tested the strawberry and found that the tiny cups are perfect serving sizes for a kid's snack and great as a side with breakfast or for a mid-afternoon adult pick me up. I found them to be a bit on the too-sweet side but my kids loved them. While I prefer thick Greek-style yogurts my pre-schooler begged for this creamy pink variety non-stop.

I like how each cup is a good source of calcium and vitamins A and D. It is also a good option for those who are dieting and into portion control while throwing in some added fiber. Yogurt has always been great for ones digestion. Now Fiber One and Yoplait are spoon feeding it to you. No pun intended.

Available in your grocer's dairy section.
