#ad Enjoy Your Yoplait on the Go!

No matter what we're doing or where we're heading this summer, Yoplait is always one of my go-to snacks. I have four children who range in age from three to fifteen, and each one of them will choose a yogurt over other snacks almost every time. My older kids really enjoy original Yoplait and Yoplait Light. Mom loves them too if you want to know the truth. How can you not? There are literally dozens of delicious flavors to choose from. Some of our personal favorites are cherry, key lime pie, lemon cream pie, strawberry banana, and Boston creme, but there are many more. You can have a different flavor every day so they never get old.

Most people think yogurt is just for breakfast, but my family enjoys Yoplait all day long. Just the other day, my teens grabbed a few containers and rode down to the park with them.  I always pack them in their school lunches and even toss a few in my beach bag. If I crave a midnight treat, Yoplait Light is always my snack of choice. It's low calorie and gives me a little extra calcium.

My two younger children are just as crazy about Yoplait as the rest of us, but their personal favorite is Gogurt. This fun yogurt come in cool pouches that make it super easy to enjoy them on the go. Just tear off the top and slurp them up. The packages always include fun trivia and feature characters kids love. For even more fun in the summer, you can toss them in the freezer for a frozen yogurt treat. There is no spoon required so the kids can eat them just about anywhere. Just the other day, they were eating them on a road trip in the car.

These are only a few examples of the delicious varieties of Yoplait and the unique ways you can enjoy them.   If you want to give your whole family a snack they are sure to enjoy, look for Yoplait in the refrigerated section at Walmart!  Just a few of the varieties available are Original, Light, Greek, and Gogurt.

My Thoughts 

My family and I were lucky enough to be one of the first to try out the exciting new All-Stars yogurt, and it wasn't disappointing at all. It comes in a variety of yummy flavors that kids will love and it features your favorite NBA players. The three we tried are Cookies 'n Cream, Chocolate Mini Gems, and Dunkers.

I normally have a hard time getting my kids to eat yogurt, even the ones made for children.  But they loved all of these delicious flavors. Getting to mix in yogurt bites and cookies makes it fun, and the sports stars on the package makes it appealing to tweens.   It feels like its just a fun snack and not a healthy treat.  The yogurt is rich and creamy and the cookies stayed crunchy when they were mixed in. The three  packs we received disappeared within a few days of when they arrived.

YoLife Yogurt Maker Review

DIY ALERT! The YoLife™ Yogurt Maker by Tribest Corporation, the leading provider of healthy lifestyle kitchen equipment allows your kids to make their own yogurt— and guess what . . . it’s healthy!

The YoLife™ Yogurt Maker is an easy way to make fresh yogurt from the comfort of your own home. YoLife™ makes delicious, probiotic-rich yogurt in just 8-12 hours. Replenishing the good bacteria in your digestive tract, YoLife™ may help relieve common digestive symptoms.

Accompanied by convenient glass mason jars and larger containers, YoLife™ is perfect for individual and family-sized servings every day of the week.

Our Thoughts

The easiest and tastiest way to add in some health and good gut bacteria. Probiotic pills are all the rage, but eating it in a healthy treat is much more convenient and fun! Also, you know what you're putting in your food and you get to flavor it in any which way possible, completely customizable to your taste. You children can help too, it's so simple, making them feel great that they can help in the kitchen and my girls loved creating their own flavors. You can do it before or after, we prefer to add our flavor after as we always have a ton of fresh fruit on hand. My youngest prefers strawberries and my oldest loves to top hers with bananas.

To make the yogurt you just add this starter to a liter of milk (give or take some minor differences depending on what type of recipe you're making!) and turn on your yogurt maker. Voila! I did not think it was going to be that easy but it really is. A few more steps are added in if you want to add flavoring beforehand, but if you're like me, I do it afterwards with fresh fruit so this is literally all I have to do to make mine. It takes 8-12 hours and I like mine to cook the full 12 hours for my desired consistency.

 

The jars are perfect for up to two servings (for myself at least) so there's pleny for a weeks worth and then you just start up another batch. I like that I can transfer the jars directly to the fridge and store it there all week and just grab and go! They're very easy to wash as well before your next batch gets started. Also, the YoLife comes with an additional, taller lid, if you want to use your own glass jars to create an even bigger batch of yogurt.

The quickest, easiest, simplest way to make healthy, probiotic-rich yogurt from your own kitchen, tastefully designed by yours truly.
