Yoplait Newly Reformulated Original Yogurt Review and Giveaway

CLOSED

I'm very happy to be taking part in the launch of Yoplait's Newly Reformulated Original Yogurt. Designed to suit our everyday needs, Yoplait now has two times the amount of calcium than the leading brand of yogurt. Just one 6 ounce cup gives us 50% of our daily value of calcium and Vitamin D. We know how important calcium is for bones, whether it is developing strong bones in kids or maintaining strong bones as adults. With our busy lives, sometimes, it is hard to fit in all the nutrients we need. How many of us actually drink 4 cups of milk a day? I know I would love to, but with my schedule, sometimes I go for a week or two without milk because I don't have time to run to the grocery store! Even if I do have milk at home, I'm not sure if I even wind up drinking 2 cups a day. This is where Yoplait's newly reformulated original yogurt will be helpful. Just one cup already helps me make half of my daily requirements of not just calcium, but also Vitamin D! How easy is that? Vitamin D helps our bodies absorb the calcium that we need and it comes together in one little package! I think this will be a great step towards maintaining my calcium requirements and fighting off the development of osteoporosis. Of course, we should keep our lives active as well to help keep our bones strong!

There are 23 yummy flavors available too! I get excited just looking at all these flavors. You don't like strawberry? Fine, there's french vanilla, harvest peach, blackberry pomegranate...etc etc etc... There's definitely a flavor out there for you. I tried blueberry and it was just sooo good! I'm not kidding, it wasn't too sweet and there were lots of juicy, ripe blueberries in it too. Eating it put a smile on my face and I wasn't very happy to share it with my SO who was enjoying it as much as I was. LOL...

Interested in trying out Yoplait Orginal yogurt? Yoplait is partnering with TV host and celebrity mom Nancy O'Dell and they are giving away one million cups of Yoplait Original yogurt!! Visit Yoplait on Facebook to sign up for your free cup! Unfortunately though, this coupon offer for Yoplait yogurt is not valid in some states, including California, Idaho, Louisiana, Minnesota, New Jersey, Nevada, North Dakota and Tennessee.

But wait...there's more! If you can't get a free cup of yogurt, Yoplait has been gracious enough to offer a spectacular prize pack just like the one they sent me as a giveaway to my readers. It includes a VIP coupon for a free cup of yogurt, a duffle bag which is an awesome accessory to have for those work outs, a sexy glass water bottle, a speed rope and a sport towel. Mmm...I love my new water bottle!! LOL, you really don't want to hear me gush about it but its so sleek and gorgeous, dishwasher safe and it keeps my drinks cold for my workouts!

Buy It: Visit any grocery store to pick up your Yoplait Yogurt available in 4 and 8 packs!

I am often multitasking and on the go and rely too much on junk food. Yoplait is convenient and a great source of calcium

Jonnie (JB) said...[Reply]: I follow with GFC and the biggest challenge I face in getting calcium is that much of the calcium rich food I like is also high in fat. Cheese is one of my favorites but the fat is just too high to eat alot of it.
