Yoplait Yogurt "Get Strong & Healthy" Gift Bag Giveaway ENDED

yoplait-gift-package-photoYoplait and My Blog Spark recently sent me a “Get Strong & Healthy” gift bag that included a free coupon for Yoplait yogurt, an autographed copy of Nancy O’Dell’s new book “Full of Life”, and a yoga mat with carry-bag.

Did you know that Yoplait yogurt is the only leading brand of yogurt containing calcium and vitamin D in every serving (10-20 percent of your daily value of vitamin D and an excellent source of calcium). They offer a large variety of great tasting flavors to help the whole family meet their vitamin D and calcium needs.

Here are some interesting facts:

  • 76% of the population is falling short of getting enough vitamin D; and 72% of the population is not getting enough calcium in their diets
  • Consuming calcium and vitamin D during childhood and adolescence can help reduce risk of fractures in adulthood

Getting an adequate amount of calcium and vitamin D, paired with exercise, is important to help build and maintain strong, healthy bones. Yoplait is partnering with Nancy O’Dell, entertainment news reporter and celebrity mom, who understands the importance of incorporating calcium and Vitamin D into her diet, while maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

Review:

I tried the yogurt and I love it.  My favorite is the custard because it’s more of a dessert in my opinion, and one I don’t have to feel guilty about.  Nancy’s book is perfect for a new or expectant mom but I enjoyed reading about her journey and found myself nodding my head, agreeing with her through most of the book.  The yoga mat is great with the carry bag, I’ve always wanted to do Yoga so maybe this will push me to do it.

Giveaway:

Yoplait and My Blog Spark have also offered to give (2) two Lucky Frugal RI Mama readers a  “Get Strong & Healthy” gift bag which includes a free coupon for Yoplait yogurt**, an autographed copy of Nancy’s new book “Full of Life”, and a yoga mat with carry-bag.
