Review and Giveaway: Yoplait Frozen Smoothie and Blender CLOSED



I am a big fan of breakfast.  I love all things breakfast, especially breakfast for dinner, mmmm BRINNER!!!

Unfortunatley, like most working adults, I rarely have time to make a full breakfast on work days.  I found smoothies to be a great way to get the breakfast I need and they are fairly easy and quick.  

My first experience with smoothies were with the bottled smoothies.  While they were good, they were just too small (like a smoothie shot) and expensive.  So I tried my hand at making my own.  I have been making fruit and yogurt smoothies for about two years now.  My smoothies consist of a selection of fresh and/or frozen fruits, yogurt, and juice.   While they are pretty easy to make, I am always looking to save time in the mornings ( I already have to get up at 5:00 in order to get things done to go to work).   

Yoplait Frozen Smoothies contain real fruit and chunks of frozen yogurt.  They are so easy to make (even a caveman could do it!!!).  Simply pour the contents of the package in a blender, add milk, blend and serve.  It takes less than two minutes to have a fresh, healthy and delicious breakfast.  


Yoplait Smoothies are available in three different varieties:
      - Triple Berry (strawberry, raspberry and blueberry) 
      - Strawberry Mango Pineapple  
      - Strawberry Banana

A package makes two smoothies and each smoothie contains a full serving of fruit and only 110 calories.  Yoplait frozen smoothies are an excellent source of calcium (when prepared with milk according to directions).

I tried the Strawberry Mango Pineapple smoothies.  The package says just add milk but I tossed in a fresh banana for an extra fruit bonus.  I found the finished smoothie to be, for lack of a better word, smooth.  There were no chunks, it was kind of foamy and very yummy!


Thanks to Yoplait and My Blog Spark I was sent a Yoplait Frozen Smoothie gift pack.  The gift pack included a coupon for a free package of Yoplait Smoothies and a single serve blender with travel lid.

Where to Purchase
The smoothies are available at most grocery stores in the freezer section with the frozen fruit.

Discount: 
To try these delicious smoothies yourself you can print a coupon here for $1.25 off coupon.
