Yoplait Smoothies (Giveaway)
Disclosure: VIP coupon, prize pack, information, and giveaway have been provided by Yoplait through MyBlogSpark to me and to the winner. The opinions below are my own.
Recently My Blog Spark contacted me about reviewing Yoplait Smoothies. I was so very excited because we all know I have a tremendous love for frozen fruit products. We made some great smoothies back at the Tweet-Up and we have even had smoothies on a Once A Month Mom menu. So how would these stack up to those experiences?
I was sent a coupon to purchase them at the grocery store and sent it with my husband on a trip where he was doing the shopping. I figured this would be a good test to see if they were easily located in the grocer’s freezer. It turns out that they are, as he found them easily. (And believe me when I say he doesn’t find things easily.) However, I also sent instructions to purchase one that didn’t contain strawberries. (Here is a fun fact about me: I am allergic to strawberries. It is an allergy that grew over time and YES I am seriously bummed about it). He reported home with the Mixed Berry Smoothie which, of course, contains strawberries and reported that he didn’t see any that didn’t contain strawberries. Well, that is no good! (At least for allergic me.)
So I did a little research and it turns out that there are three “types” of smoothies that Yoplait makes and ALL of them contain strawberries. Bummer. My husband can still have them though so we proceeded with trying them out.
I loved how easy they were to make. Simply open the bag, put a cup of milk in the blender and blend. Done. That was SUPER easy!
And how did it taste? Hubby reported that it was very good. He would definitely suggest purchasing them again, especially for those mornings when you are in a hurry.
As for me, my only suggestion would be that Yoplait come up with a flavor that doesn’t contain strawberries. That would be awesome! Otherwise, they looked great to me. (How is that for an honest review).
Would you like to win a chance to try Yoplait Smoothies for yourself? Along with a cute little blender for blending them? (Note: please don’t enter the contest if you are allergic to strawberries. he he.)

We love anything with berries. From Yoplait, we have tried the Strawberry Banana one. It seemed a little thick, so we added more milk. The flavor was great!
I also love pineapple/orange flavored smoothies as well!

The Yoplait brand is really easy to make and tastes great! Low in calories and great flavor. I don’t particularly care for the mixed berries since I don’t like all the little “pits” that are left behind from the raspberries. I do love the other 2 flavors and would recommend them to anyone who loves smoothies and can eat strawberries. Sorry you can’t.
My favorite smoothie is pineapple…YUM.
I love strawbwrry, blueberry and banana smoothies. I have been wanting to try these too!

I already subscribe. My favorite flavor for a smoothie is Blueberry. I too was allergic to strawberries as a child (horrible hives); but around the time I hit puberty the allergy went away.
It is nice for you to say how easy it is to make and still taste good. I have not tried to make any smoothies , except for 1 time and it was bad. I would have to think about trying this. I will post a tweet about and post it to my blog. Thanks

My 3 yr old son loves the strawberry banana. We make 1/4 package for him almost every night for a sweet “treat” and a way for him to get more milk! I always add a lot of extra milk so he can slurp it through a straw. I subscribe!

I love strawberry smoothies made with apple juice!
My husband has recently started beginning his day with a smoothie. It started when we watched an episode of “Good Eats” and Alton Brown explained how he lost 50 lbs. One of his tricks was to drink a smoothie for breakfast. I have purchased these Yoplait Smoothie packs and they work well. My husband thinks they are very tasty!
I have been a fan of OAMM for quite a while and thanks to your “Find a partner in your area” campaign, I think I found someone, yay!
Any morning that starts out with a strawberry smoothie is a good one!!
