Lightning Fast Yoplait Smoothie Giveaway!!!




I was pretty excited when My BlogSpark contacted me a while back to review Yoplait’s new Frozen Smoothies. Can I be totally honest with you all? I had actually NEVER had a smoothie before in my life. Isn't that shocking? I'd just never bothered! So I was happy about the opportunity to try it out! I used the free product coupon provided to me to try the Triple Berry flavor because my store did not carry the Strawberry Banana and, well, the only one in the family who likes mango is the baby and she hasn't been introduced to yogurt just yet.

Since, as I mentioned above, I'd never had (nor made, obviously) a smoothie, I was really glad to see how easy these Yoplait Frozen Smoothies are to put together. All I had to do was dump the contents of the bag and 1 cup of milk (I used 1 %) into the (super cute and oh-so-fun) mini blender that My Blog Spark provided to me.

Easy-peasy. And the resulting purplish drink looked mighty tasty indeed!

Did you know that 7 out of 10 Americans do not consume the recommended amount of fruit each day? We're not BAD fruit eaters around here... well except for one of us (but I won't mention any names, my darling husband... *cough*)... but we could still do better. Each Yoplait Frozen Smoothie contains a full serving of fruit. Always nice to be able to "sneak" in another serving! The blend of frozen fruit and yogurt pieces results in a yummy drink that looks more like a milk shake than a serving of fruit- great news if you have picky eaters.

So... you may be wondering... "What did you think of your first smoothie, JessieLeigh???"

Well...

I couldn't tell you.

Because when my darling preschoolers awoke and walked into the kitchen to see "milkshakes" being whipped up, I quickly realized I would not be getting any of it.

But they loved them! So much so that I went out and bought another bag of Yoplait Frozen Smoothies on a subsequent shopping trip-- using a high value coupon matched with a sale of course because, well, if you know me at ALL then you know I don't pay full price for many things. ;) If you want to print a coupon of your very own, you can head here to do so!

Or, if you'd rather just try your luck at winning your very own mini blender and coupon, you can enter this lightning-fast giveaway I have going on today. That's right-- only TODAY.

4. Get other people to enter. That's right. For each person YOU manage to get to enter this giveaway, I'll give you an extra entry.

This giveaway will only run for 24 hours! Act fast and rack up as many entries as you can! Good luck! (Oh, and hey, if you happen to want to come over and make me my very first smoothie, I'll throw in a few more entries for you too. *wink*)

(The fine print: I was provided with a free coupon, gift pack, online coupon link and giveaway from Yoplait through MyBlogSpark. I was also asked to tell you all the TRUTH, which I have done and promise to continue to do in the future!)

  1. You've NEVER had a smoothie?!?! ;) Truthfully, we don't have problems sneaking extra fruit in. My problem is running OUT of fruit nearly every. single. day. We'll eat ANY fruit around here.

  2. We LOVE smoothies and I have yet to try these although I have been wanting to! I'd like to add more fruit to our pancakes and waffles to get more fruit in (rather than choco chips.hah!). Although, I will say we do quite well getting our fruit in almost every day...but whipping up a *quick* smoothie in the a.m. would be a highlight for me as I hate dragging out my huge ole blender and only do it on the weekends! Thanks for the chance to win!

  7. I love smoothies! I have a hard time getting fruits in during the morning. It would be great to have this with my breakfast on the go and it would keep me fuller longer! I like to sneak fruits into my desserts...Strawberry shortcake anyone ??!!

  8. You are too funny! I'm shocked you haven't been making smoothies all along. I just told my husband over breakfast yesterday "we REALLY need to get a small blender that can just stay on the counter so we'll make smoothies daily!" Ha ha! Anyway...I don't sneak fruits in that's why I want to make smoothies. Luckily Reese is happy to eat an apple with peanut butter every day. Sometimes he'll even eat some grapes or banana.
    Of course, I follow your blog and on twitter I think--but I really don't "get" twitter, so I'm not going to tweet.
