Interview with Christine Coppa Nutrition Picky Eaters and Yoplait Kids

March 6, 2011 by Momstart 1 Comment

Nutrition and my kids are two things that are constantly on my mind. Feeding my kids nutritiously takes creativity and constant diligence to make sure that what they eat is healthy for them and healthy for me, my biggest influence over them is my example. Thanks to Yoplait Kids, I had the opportunity to interview Christine Coppa, Editor at Parenting.com, and we talked about challenges with feeding kids from picky eaters to big time snackers.

In the first question, I wanted to know why Christine Coppa was working with Yoplait kids. Christine is a very well known blogger, and expert at Parenting.com. She often talks about nutrition and taking care of her own 3 year old son. Having a lot in common with Christine, I felt connect to her responses and feel that feeding kids healthy options is easier than it sounds. Yoplait makes low fat yogurt the common choice with kids with fun Cars, Disney Princesses and Dora packaging. Christine is a good fit because she already feeds her kids Yoplait and eats it herself as well.

Christine’s number 1 snack tip is to let the kids be in the driver seat. By keeping healthy snacks at eye level kids can go in and grab their own snacks. Have little containers of baby carrots, cheese sticks, and cherry tomatoes. Leave them on the bottom shelf for kids to find and get themselves, also have an area in the pantry of healthy non perishable snacks for them to choose from.

Be creative with picky eaters. My kids are addicted to dipping. Try using yogurt as the veggie or fruit dip, making a healthy wholesome fun snack. Also, try creating a kabob, use a wooden skewer and put veggies and fruit on it. Let them help in the preparation and encourage them to dip those kabobs right into yogurt. If you have trouble like me, with kids that want to eat all the time. Christine suggests using a schedule and distraction to make them think about food less often. We all eat when we are bored and if they are constantly doing something they won’t think about food as often. Also, remember that your example is the biggest influence on your children. My kids eat salads, raw carrots, and lots of fruit because they see Andrew and I doing it too!

When you’re on the go, snacking can still be healthy, you just need to remember to think ahead. Keep non-perishable food in the car so you always have it. Remember to restock it and pack some yogurt in freezer bag. Or freeze the yogurt and grab it on your way out then it will be soft for you to eat later.

Thank you Yoplait and Christine for all of this wonderful advice. Remember, you can win some Yoplait Yogurt. I’m working with MyBLogSpark on behalf of Yoplait. Visit Yoplait on Facebook to "Like" the brand. Also, be sure to "Follow" Yoplait on Twitter to keep up with the latest news from Yoplait!

Make Eating Healthy Yoplait Kids Yogurt #MyBlogSpark

February 23, 2011 by Momstart 211 Comments

Lunch time is and has been Zoe’s favorite meal for quite some time. She associates lunch time as Peanut Butter and Jelly with carrots, but today I wanted to make lunch a little different. So we had Ham and cheese, carrots and some of Yoplait Kids Yogurt in a cup. She’s not big on change so the yogurt smoothed over the fact we were having Ham instead of peanut butter.

When Miles and I went to the grocery store yesterday we set off to find the Yoplait Cars cups, but our grocery store only had Dora and Disney Princess, so I asked Miles to choose which one he wanted and he said, Let’s get princess yogurt for Zoe, it’s her favorite. So today, my little princess is sitting there eating her princess yogurt and look how happy she is.

Yoplait Smoothies With a KitchenAid Blender #Giveaway #MyBlogSpark

November 11, 2010 by Momstart 785 Comments

imageA few months ago we had an excellent smoothie party. Zoe and Miles invited some friends over and we all had such a great time. For some of the smoothies we used the Yoplait Smoothie mix and it was then that I knew it would be a big hit. So when MyBlogSpark asked me if I wanted to work with them and KitchenAid and do a review I thought piece of cake!

As seen on The Biggest Loser, which airs on Tuesdays at 8/7c on NBC, Yoplait Frozen Smoothies are also easy to make! To whip up perfectly blended smoothies in a snap, simply empty the package containing Yoplait frozen yogurt chips and frozen fruit into your blender, add skim milk, and blend. It’s that easy! You can even use the handy Smoothie button on your new 3-speed KitchenAid® Blender, (included in your MyBlogSpark package) which blends ingredients at optimal speeds for deliciously smooth results. In just two minutes, you can enjoy a great tasting Yoplait Frozen Smoothie as a guilt-free breakfast, dessert or snack!

How to Make A Smoothie with a KitchenAid Blender:

Just open the package and dump into the blender. Then add 1 cup of milk and use the smoothie setting. I actually like to add twice as much milk as it asks for so that it’s not quite as thick. So use the milk to make it the thickness that you enjoy.

Each package of Yoplait Frozen Smoothies contains one full serving of fruit (1/2 cup) and only 110 to 120 calories per serving. In addition to containing live and active cultures provided by Yoplait® yogurt, when prepared with skim milk and made according to package directions, Yoplait Frozen Smoothies are also a good source of calcium.

I love how easy and quick they are to make. I also love how good they are for the kids and they love to drink them. So it’s a win win for me.

Don’t forget to visit Yoplait on Facebook and Yoplait on Twitter and “Like” or “Follow” the brand to keep up with their latest and greatest products.

New Yoplait Greek Yogurt Spa #giveaway

March 8, 2010 by Momstart 324 Comments

New Yoplait Greek yogurt invites women to nourish their inner goddess with the delicious goodness found in every cup of the brand’s newest offering. 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.
