At the beginning of the year, I joined Weight Watchers….again.  Since the last meeting I attended in January of 2010, they changed the program.  Now more than ever before, they are stressing the importance of fruits and vegetables.  Admittedly, I am not a lover of either of these things, so I struggle to get in my daily servings.

But, I do love smoothies!  I frequent a local smoothie chain because with my busy schedule, I never have the time to prepare a smoothie at home…..until now!  Yoplait Frozen Smoothies have made it incredibly easy to prepare a delicious smoothie that is cheaper and more convenient than running to the smoothie store every day!

With each smoothie, you get an entire serving of fruit, live and active cultures and calcium!  All you have to do is dump the contents of one Yoplait Smoothie package into a blender like the KitchenAid 3 speed blender (which actually has a button specifically for smoothies), add one cup of milk and blend.  Viola!  A perfect smoothie in just seconds! Whether you prefer Blueberry Pomegranate, Strawberry Banana, Triple Berry or Strawberry Mango Pineapple, Yoplait has them all.  Each package contains frozen fruit and little frozen chunks of yogurt which blend together to create two servings of magnificent smoothies.  Each serving provides between 110 and 120 calories depending on variety.

My husband, two daughters and I all tried the Triple Berry variety.  The preparation was extremely fast and the KitchenAid blender create the perfect consistency.  I am looking forward to trying the other varieties soon!  If your mouth is watering for the perfect smoothie, print the Yoplait $1 off coupon now!

“Can I have a snack?”  This sentence is spoke in my home at least 20 times a day.  My oldest daughter, Lily, would rather graze on snacks all day rather than sit down and eat a big meal.  Of course, I try to limit her snack intake and try to make sure healthy snack options are always available in our home.  One of the things both of my daughters love is yogurt, such as YoPlait YoPlus.

The new formula now includes 20 percent of the Daily Value of antioxidant vitamins A and E, a blend of special probiotic cultures and fiber for digestive health, as well as calcium and vitamin D for bone health.  YoPlus is available in many delicious flavors such as Blackberry Pomegranate, Blueberry Acai,  Strawberry, Vanilla, Peach and Cherry.

To me, yogurt means chocolatey frozen goodness with a layer of chocolate chips from my local TCBY.  While it is possible to get this type of yogurt in a low-cal version, I wouldn’t go so far as to say it is GOOD for you.  Since having kids, my vision of yogurt has expanded.  We have been loyal customers of Yoplait (white chocolate raspberry yogurt is a staple in my house) for a few years now, so I was more than happy to accept a review for their new Blueberry Acai flavor of Yo-Plus.Yo-Plus is similar to other Yoplait products in that it has the same great taste you love with the benefit of active cultures.  But Yo-Plus gives you much more: a special blend of fiber (3 grams per serving) and probiotics to help regulate your digestive health naturally.  After reading that Yo-Plus is safe for young children, I thought it would be a great idea to get Aubrie some because she has been on antibiotics for quite some time now with a bad ear infection.  It was a hit!

I was fortunate enough to receive a Yo-Plus gift bag including a coupon for a free 4-pack of Yo-Plus yogurt, Yoplait cooler tote bag, water bottle and a nutrition journal – great for keeping track of your health goals and eating habits!  The cooler tote is quite large and completely insulated!  The small notebook is perfect for popping in my purse in order to keep track of Weight Watchers Points!

Yo-Plus is generously offering two lucky readers the same gift pack I received!  Don’t want to wait? Download this yogurt coupon to receive $1.50 off a 4-pack of Yo-Plus yogurt!
