Yoplait Kids-Affordable, Delicious Snack for Kids of All Ages! Coupon, Review + Giveaway

I have a crazy sensitivity to artificial sweeteners, most give me a migraine that could kill a cow. Seriously. My thoughts on the subject is basically if that's what happens to me, what are they doing to my kids??

So, I'm the crazy lady that stands at the grocers counter to read every single ingredient, until I found Yoplait Kids. With an excellent source of both calcium and vitamin D, a good source of protein and the delicious taste kids demand, Yoplait Kids is perfect for our family. It also contains 25% less sugar than the leading kids’ yogurt, and has no high fructose corn syrup, artificial colors, flavors or sweeteners whatsoever.
What I love even more than the great health benefits, is that Yoplait Kids is a great value at just $2.00 for a pack of four, and it comes in three delicious flavors, including Strawberry, Strawberry Banana and Vanilla. Kids will love finding their favorite friends, like Dora the Explorer, (Abbie's favorite!!), Lightning McQueen from the hit movie “Cars” and the Disney Princesses, on every cup.

I've yet to see the princesses on any of the packages in my area, but I'm willing to bet that you all will hear my little lady shreik when she finds them! I typically don't buy food items with characters on them for my kids (yes, 'mean mom', I know..) but honestly, most of "those" products are filled with zero nutritional value, and usually make my kids hyper. They know that if they do get something with characters on it, it's typically a treat. With the Yoplait Kids, they not only getting something fun, but they're getting something nutritious. No matter which way you look at it, it's a win-win. Plus, right now you can print out a $0.50 coupon here, and save when you buy a four pack.

Our friends at MyBlogSpark and Yoplait have put together a great prize pack to help encourage choosing healthy snack options for children, and offered one lucky reader  their chance to WIN!

Looking for Healthy Snacks? Simply... Go-Gurt "Simplify Your Life" Review +Giveaway!

How many times have you read that my family loves healthy snack options?? I will write about new and exciting products that pass my scrutiny until I am blue in the face. Why? Because I don't want my children growing up in a world of artificial colors and sweeteners. That said- recently I was given the opportunity to review the new Yoplait Simply... Go-Gurt.

I love yogurt, and craved it during my pregnancy with my daughter. The thing is that most "low-fat" yogurts contain phenylketonurics, phenylalaine, aspartame, high-fructose corn syrup or another artificial sweetener.

I love Yoplait yogurt, so I jumped at this opportunity from MyBlogSpark. I was sent a coupon for a free package of Simply...Go-Gurt, a backseat organizer, a pocket Etch-a-Sketch, and this great little organizer- with sticky notes and everything!

It took me a few stores to actually find the Simply...Go-Gurt in stock, but once I did, the kids and I fell in love. Really, I know that sounds corny, but it's the truth. (I cannot tell you how much we are NOT morning people.) Often running late, the Simply..Go-Gurt has been quite the lifesaver, simplifying my life. The kids love it because it's the perfect size, and it tastes great. Simply...Go-Gurt is available in two kid-friendly flavors, Strawberry & Mixed Berry. Each convenient portable yogurt tube contains a good source of calcium and vitamin D. The kids love the individual serving size. I love the ingredients, and the fact that it's from Yoplait- a brand I trust and buy often.

Looking for a healthy alternative to fake fruit or over-sugared ice pops this summer? Try throwing the individual sleeves in the freezer. After only a couple of hours these pops make for a refreshing treat after a day in the sun!
