Hooray for Yoplait!

We love Yoplait in our house. I have always been a fan of the Custard Style, now called Thick and Creamy, yogurt in my lunches. When my son moved out of the whole milk phase in his life, we moved over to Yoplait Kids yogurt. It was an easy transition. I recently was lucky enough to receive a box of yogurt and yogurt drinks-it was a happy day.

I have tried yogurt drinks in the past when they first came out. They always kind of grossed me out. The texture was thick and chunky and the yogurt taste was just plain weird in drink form. Yoplait Kids yogurt drinks have changed all that. I think that my son and I are probably going to be fighting over these in the fridge. The drinks come in four flavors with four characters on the bottle to help entice finicky children. Dora markets the Strawberry flavor, Diego the mixed berry, The Backyardigans the banana, and Blue’s Clues the strawberry-banana. We tried the mixed berry-the smell was wonderful and the taste was very flavorful. You could barely tell it was a yogurt drink. Since then, we have bought the Strawberry-Banana and it’s just as delicious. We’re anxious to try the other two. The drinks are a great on-the-go snack. It’s sure to fill up your kiddo and keep them going until their next meal.

Our fridge is always stocked with the Yoplait Kids yogurts. I take them in my lunch…people at work always chuckle a little, "Oh, need to go to the grocery store, huh? Stealing from your kid’s lunchbox?" My lunch buddies think they’re pretty funny. Truth is, I buy them for both my son and myself. I love that they have less suger in them. This less sugary taste tastes so much better than regular yogurts. Besides the appealing 9 grams less of sugar than other brands, they also contain vitamins A and D, protein, and Omega-3 DHA. The yogurts come 2 flavors in a pack of 6-strawberry/strawberry vanilla, vanilla/banana, and peach/strawberry banana.

What I like the most about these yogurts is the texture. My son is super-sensitive to texture. It is very difficult to find yogurts that don’t have fruit chunks in them. Yoplait has clearly thought of this, too. The texture is thick and creamy and no chunks!! For beginning eaters, the thick texture makes it a lot easier to keep on the spoon. And yes, it makes it easier for me, too.
