Yoplait – Less Sugar, More Fun! (closed)

45 comments

A favorite anytime snack at our house is Yoplait Kids yogurt. My girls love it because it tastes good and I love it because it’s good for them.

Yoplait Kids yogurt has 25% less sugar than other leading kids’ yogurt. It has a nice thick and creamy texture that sticks to the spoon, minimizing snack time messes. It also contains no artificial sweeteners or flavors, so I feel good about serving it to my kids.

In addition, Yoplait Kids is a good source of vitamin D and, according to two new studies that provide the first national assessment of the crucial nutrient in young Americans, millions of U.S. children have disturbingly low vitamin D levels, possibly increasing their risk for a variety of health concerns, including bone problems.

About 7.6 million children, adolescents, and young adults have vitamin D levels so low they could be considered deficient! It can be challenging for growing kids to get enough vitamin D because this nutrient is only found naturally in very few foods; however Yoplait Kids makes it a little easier to incorporate a delicious source of vitamin D and calcium in your child’s diet.

MyBlogSpark has kindly allowed me to give away 2 Yoplait Less Sugar, More Fun prize packs to my wonderful readers!
