Energizer Bunny's Mommy Reports: Yoplait yogurt review and a Giftbag giveaway

Sep 27, 2009

Yoplait yogurt review and a Giftbag giveaway

Did you know that ....

76% of the population does not get enough vitamin D into their body systems?
72% of the population does not get the required amount of calcium in their diets?
There is only 1 brand of yogurt that is rich in calcium AND vitamin D? I didn't! Yoplait yogurt is that only brand!

Ok so it has vitamin D...what's so big about that?

Did you know that you need vitamin D to help your body absorb the calcium you intake, to build and maintain strong and healthy bones?

People till the age of 50 need to absorb a minimum of 200 units of Vitamin D while people between the age of 51-70 require 400 units and above the age of 70, need atleast 600 units. Now if you have a cup of Yoplait yogurt you get 10-20% of your required units in that 1 cup, now isn't that an easy way to down those units?

I am partial to a cup of strawberry flavored yogurt but if you have a palette that likes flavors with a little twist then you should try their blackberry pomegranate, orange creme, harvest peach, white chocolate raspberry or even their boysenberry flavors. (You have 24 flavors to choose from!) I personally have not tried these flavors because I still steer towards strawberry, strawberry and only strawberry!

So there you have it- a yummy, healthy cold treat filled with the calcium and vitamin D you need!

All set to win a 'Get Strong & Healthy' gift bag?'

2 winners will have a chance to win a 'Get Strong & Healthy' gift bag each. The gift bag includes:

A coupon for free Yoplait yogurt (Unfortunately this coupon is not valid outside the United States or within these States-ID, LA, ND, NJ, NV and TN but you can enter the contest to win the other goodies!)
A neat exercise mat (getting the right amounts of calcium and vitamin D is not enough. Pair the two with exercise and you will have the right solution for 'strong & healthy' bones!
A Yoplait carry bag to hold your mat and
An autographed copy of Nancy O'Dell's new book 'Full Of Life' (Mom-To-Mom 'wish I knew when pregnant' tips!)

I think Bunny girl loves the exercise mat more than me. I've had to hide it away because 3 days in a row she'd run to pull it out just before leaving for school and say in her 'big lady tone' " I'm sorry...you just have to do your exercises right now! I'm sorry."

Thanks to My Blog Spark we received this wealth of information, the healthy yogurt to sample and the gift bag for review.

Here's how you can win it:

My Mom used to line up her 8 kids every Sat. morning for tsp. of cod liver oil for Vit D. I couldn't escape it. :-( When I had kids, I couldn't do that to them.
