We love cereal, I mean, I love crunchy cereal so I have to eat Honey Bunches of Oats with very little milk or as a snack and it makes quite a fantastic snack. My kids love using cereal for breakfast and for a fun dinner. They think it’s quite a special treat to have cereal for dinner. Plus it’s so easy for me to send cereal to school with my daughter. She loves getting to put something in a plastic bag all by herself.  Post just released a new cereal: Honey Bunches of Oats Greek Honey Crunch.

Voskos Greek Yogurt Goes Crunch

by 1 Comment

So My wordless Wednesday is so late this week, it’s on Sunday, and I’m suddenly making it not so wordless by adding a very quick review. So maybe we won’t call it a wordless Wednesday at all and just make it a review. So here is our Voskos Greek Yogurt Goes Crunch, YoGreek review.

IMG_5480

 

Organically and naturally delicious. It’s nature’s perfect superfood that may help prevent diseases and boost your immune and digestive system while you savor every creamy spoonful. We each had one for breakfast. They have 140 calories and you mix in the granola yourself. I tried the strawberry crunch and liked it a lot. The kids both had the Honey Greek Yugurt crunch and ate it all. Miles said it was disgusting but I take that with a grain of salt because he ate it all. Zoe wanted more. YoGreek is the very first dual-cup Greek yogurt that offers Greek yogurt with crunchy granola for a complete meal-on-the-go. As one of the top superfoods, Greek Yogurt is a superhero and the granola its sidekick. YoGreek offers an all-inclusive tasty meal that’s convenient and fully portable with its one-of-a-kind packaging and delivery system. I think the calories are a bit on the high side, that’s my only complaint.

We received Samples.

Voskos Greek Yogurt Trip To Greece Giveaway

by 2 Comments

Voskos Greek Yogurt has been a pleasure to work with over the past year. They sent a generous donation to the tweetdrive, and they sent me quite a few Voskos Greek Yogurt products to review back in October. They care quite a bit about healthy eating providing tons of recipes and ways to use Greek Yogurt. Greek Yogurt has a different consistency than regular yogurt. It is thicker without being a custard. It also to me has a different flavor. The Voskos Greek Yogurt flavors are high in protein, contain live and active probiotic cultures and no rBST, rBGH, GMO, and are gluten Free. They can replace sour cream, mayonnaise and cream cheese in many recipes, thus lowering the amount of calories and upping the protein.

Voskos Greek Organic Yogurt Review & 30 Day Supply #Giveaway

by 311 Comments

imageEating healthy is always on my mind even when I’m failing at it. I’m always thinking of ways to prepare and give healthy options to my kids. Voskos Greek yogurts are flavorful, rich and creamy. Greek Yogurt has a different consistency than regular yogurt. It is thicker without being a custard. It also to me has a different flavor. The Voskos Greek Yogurt flavors are high in protein, contain live and active probiotic cultures and no rBST, rBGH, GMO, and are gluten Free. They can replace sour cream, mayonnaise and cream cheese in many recipes, thus lowering the amount of calories and upping the protein.

Voskos Greek Yogurt recently sent me some samples to try. They sent me a few of the certified organic yogurts and some of their non organic yogurt flavors. I’ve been quite happy with both sets. I don’t have the strongest of taste buds around and I can’t tell a difference. I usually can tell a difference between organic and non-organic, but I think that since they use natural ingredients in both they are very similar.  One thing that I do really like is that they have a lot of interesting and natural flavors. Take these three flavors for instance Honey Vanilla Bean, Organic Vanilla Bean, and Exotic Fig.

Each flavor has around 130 calories and no fat. Yogurt is so good for you in so many ways.

by 324 Comments

Packed with 12 grams of protein – twice that found in leading yogurts – new Yoplait Greek nourishes from the inside out. Available in four delicious flavors, Strawberry, Blueberry, Honey Vanilla and Plain, Yoplait Greek has a unique thick and creamy texture with the unmatched taste expected of Yoplait.

Yoplait Greek Blueberry

I was sent the gift basket from My Blog Spark on behalf of General Mills/Yoplait that I am going to be giving away in this post. Along with the bath robe, bath shoes, and bath washing tools, I received four samples of Greek Yogurt made by Yoplait. My grandmother was telling me all about how wonderful the Greek Yogurt was when I was visiting with her last month. So when I had the opportunity to try it I was quite excited to say yes.

Greek Yogurt is thicker than regular yogurt and it tastes less sour to me. I’m not a big fan of yogurt because most flavors taste sour to me. My grandmother on the other hand would describe it as more flavorful. She says it’s more Robust and loves it. She doesn’t usually care for yogurt. My kids would describe it as yummy and have been constantly asking for more yogurt at snack time.
