Yoplait Product Review & Giveaway

The generous folks from Yoplait and My Blog Spark sent me a Get Strong & Healthy gift pack that included a coupon for free Yoplait yogurt, an autographed copy of Nancy O'Dell's new book Full of Life, and a yoga mat with a carry-bag.

We're big yogurt fans at this house! In fact, one of my favorite ways to snack in the evening is to place a cup of yogurt into the freezer around dinnertime. It's usually frozen yogurt by the time I'm ready to eat it later in the evening. I tried freezing the Yoplait Orange Cream flavor this week, and it tasted just like an orange creamsicle! Yum!

I learned a few things about Yoplait yogurt from this product review...

• 76% of the population is falling short of getting enough vitamin D; and 72% of the population is not getting enough calcium in their diets.


• Consuming calcium and vitamin D during childhood and adolescence can help reduce risk of fractures in adulthood.


• Yoplait is the only leading brand of yogurt containing calcium and vitamin D in every serving (10-20 percent of your daily value of vitamin D and an excellent source of calcium).

Nancy O'Dell is partnering with Yoplait to help people understand the importance of incorporating vitamin D and calcium into their diet, while maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
