Do you have trouble getting your children to eat things that are good for them? Well, mostly that's not a problem here, but I will admit that sometimes I don't always make the best decisions when shopping for my children. Especially since i've found out that i'm expecting. I have not had a lot of energy to spend in the kitchen and have been buying food that allows for big time shortcuts.
One thing I do try to keep on hand is yogurt. My kids love Yoplait Kids yogurt because it tastes good. It's something we moms can love and feel good about giving our children because it's an excellent source of calcium and vitamin D, a good source of protein, and contains no high fructose corn syrup, artificial colors, flavors or sweeteners. Yoplait Kids also contains 25% less sugar than other leading kids' yogurts.
Yoplait Kids comes in a pack of four for around $2. Another thing kids are sure to love about this yogurt is the fact that there are characters that most kids are familiar with, including the Disney Princesses and Lightning McQueen from Cars. The flavor varieties include strawberry, strawberry banana and vanilla.
A nice variation that my kids enjoyed was the addition of fruit. Mandarin oranges and halved grapes mixed in is a suggestion. You could even use this as a healthy desert option and even add a little whipped cream on top if you'd like. But of course, my kids enjoy it as it is, right from the container.
I have a coupon for anyone who'd like to try it. This coupon is good for $0.50 off of a four pack. Just Click and Print. Unfortunately this coupon is not valid for residents of California, Idaho, Louisiana, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, North Dakota and Tennessee.
I have also been given the opportunity to give away the prize pack pictured above which includes a coupon for free Yoplait Kids yogurt, a four piece spoon set, a foldable travel cooler, a power magnet picture frame, alphabet shaped kiddie bands, a bounce ball and a "My First Scavenger Hunt" card game.

I cut sugar snack for after school snacks.. I cut oranges and apples for the kids to snack on.. Yogurt would be a nice substitute for breakfast and night time snack

ReplyDeleteI buy fruits and veggies to snack on. They love apples and carrots. I am sure they would love the yogurt too.

ReplyDeleteThe biggest thing for me is juice, I always completely water down the juices even if it states it already has been, and make sure to go to the fresh fruit/veggies section of our grocery store and let him pick out things he will eat for as snacks. Candy.Chips are not an option for him.

ReplyDeletewe let them pick out their favorite fruits and offer them in first place if they ask for snack. Yoplait Kids is a great snack for the extra calcium (my kids don't like to drink milk)

I try to keep fruit always available. Yoplait has so many different healthy flavors I know my child would like, it would for sure help her out.

I try to steer towards low sugar snacks, organic if possible. Yoplait can help me by offering a variety of favors while still being healthy.
