We were sent some Yoplait Kids Yogurt for review. To be honest, there wasn’t much for us to review. BigBrother has been eating Yoplait Kids since he outgrew a yogurt for babies. (You know the one.) He runs to the fridge and exclaims and variation of words for yogurt. Gurt! O-Gurt! Randomly, E-gurt! And on occasion, Yo-gurt! He’s recently mastered holding the yogurt cup with one hand while spooning out the yogurt with the other. When he was first learning to do this, he pulled too hard on the spoon and got yogurt all over his forehead.

Okay, I digress. But it was a funny sight. (However, it’s not a totally jump. Yoplait has tips for letting kids learn to spoon-feed themselves right on their site! See. I knew what I was talking about!)

What’s so great about Yoplait kids? You mean, beyond the fact that they are decorated with Blues Clues, Dora or Diego? (Hey, when you’re fighting a food battle kid and he likes something healthy because it has a character on the front, well, you just don’t argue.) Yoplait Kids yogurts are smooth. No fruit chunks to provide choking hazards. Or, if you’re like my son, to spit out. (Things “in” food are a no-no for BigBrother.) The flavors of the traditional yogurt cups are good. No. Really. I once accidentally tasted the vanilla (Blues Clues) and then I finished eating it. (As a side note, I now eat Yo-Plus vanilla everyday.) The yogurt drink is in a small bottle but, I must admit, BigBrother isn’t in a bottle-holding-to-drink stage yet. It got a bit messy over here. I would assume by summer he’d be more able to handle such a thing. Until then, we’ll spoon out our yogurt!

Beyond that stuff, Yoplait Kids is nutritious. Don’t tell your kids but this yogurt has 25% less sugar than the average of leading “kids” yogurts. I don’t know about your kids but BigBrother doesn’t need an excess of sugar. Nope. Not at all. Less is good for this child. Beyond that, it’s a good source of calcium, vitamins A & D, and naturally occurring omega-3’s (DHA) for forming brains. Awesome.

Back to the yogurt drinks? Uhm, I drank them. They were good. I do feel it will be a great snack for BigBrother this summer when everything has to be done quickly so we can get back outside as soon as possible! We just need to work on the actual process of drinking something like that. Or buy straws. Yes!

All in all, we love Yoplait Kids Yogurt in this house. (And the adult brands, too.) BigBrother doesn’t have a wide range of tastes in food right now so I’m glad that he likes something that’s remotely healthy.

And now you can give it a try. Go to YoplaitKids.com and click on the “free coupon” button on the right hand side of your screen. It’s good for a free package of Yoplait Kids yogurt! Free is good! Healthy is good! Good is good! Good!
