I struggle with trying to find healthy food options for breakfast and snack time. When I'm hungry, quick and easy is the best. I'm particularly fond of smoothies, but I don't often make them because either I don't have all the ingredients needed or I'm feeling too lazy to locate them and put them all in the blender.

Recently, thanks to MyBlogSpark, I had the opportunity to try out Yoplait Frozen Smoothies. This smoothie mix is found in the freezer section of the grocery store. The smoothie package contains Yoplait frozen yogurt chips and frozen fruit -- everything needed to make your own fruit smoothie, with the exception of milk. All that you need to do is dump the contents into your blender and add milk (the package says to use skim, but I used 2% because that is what we had on hand.) It only takes a couple of minutes to make a delicious drink.

The mix comes in four different flavors: Blueberry Pomegranate, Triple Berry, Strawberry Banana, and Strawberry Mango Pineapple. One package makes two servings and each serving contains only 110 to 120 calories.

We tried out the Triple Berry flavor containing strawberries, blueberries and raspberries, and I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the package and noticed the large frozen real fruit chunks. Instead of adding 1 cup of milk, we added a little more to make a thinner smoothie that the kids would be able to drink with a straw. I like my smoothies thicker so next time I'll follow the package directions. It only took a minute for the blender to mix up the batch, and we had a nice, frothy cold drink to enjoy. It's an easy, peasy, no fuss way to a yummy smoothie. The smoothie tasted as good as anything I've made from scratch, and I love that it contains calcium and live and active yogurt cultures. My son loved his "shake." Unfortunately my daughter was less excited about it because it contains seeds. Someday soon I hope she'll get over her seeds in food issue! I plan to keep a few packages on hand for when I'm craving a light and cold fruit-filled snack.

Even though MyBlogSpark sent along an awesome 3-speed KitchenAid® Blender to use, we decided to use our own, not-as-fancy blender to review the product and will donate the lovely new KitchenAid to a charity. I'm sure a deserving family will really appreciate receiving it during the holidays.

The brisk, chilly air today reminded me that winter is approaching. I can feel my muscles start to tense up just thinking about the cold weather ahead. That's when I delight in comfort items - warm, snuggly blankets, thick socks, fluffy robe, soft slippers and a good book. Yoplait Delights are kind of like your favorite comfort item. They satisfy sweet tooth cravings, luring you in with their rich, smooth texture.

Yoplait Delights are luxurious yogurt parfaits that come in four appealing flavors: Chocolate Raspberry, Crème Caramel, Triple Berry Crème and my personal favorite, Lemon Torte. And, they're so delightful even my father-in-law will eat them (though I don't think he is the target audience). Thanks to My Blog Spark, we had the chance to try out this new Yoplait Yogurt. I really wanted to put the product to the test so I purchased both the Lemon Torte and Triple Berry Crème and offered them to my in-laws when they came to visit a week ago. I told them I had bought them on sale and wanted to try them out. They both selected the Lemon Torte flavor to eat. Their reaction - they loved the yogurt treat! And so did my family. My mother-in-law commented that the yogurt tasted creamy and refreshing and she made sure to study the packaging so that she could find them in the store next time she went shopping. My kids enjoyed eating the creamy white layer on top and my husband really liked the contrast of the two different layers and the consistency of the yogurt.

Each Yoplait Delights serving contains only 100 calories, making it an ideal snack and the treat meets National Yogurt Association criteria for live and active culture yogurt. Just so you know though, the yogurt is sweetened with Sucralose and other sweetener, so if you're not a fan of those, you might not like the flavor. I'm kind of a yogurt snob and typically eat organic, vanilla yogurt. I usually can't stand the artificial taste of some yogurts, but I really did like the Lemon Torte Yoplait Delights (not so much the Triple Berry Crème, though). The word French word "parfait" means something perfect. Yoplait did a pretty good job creating an eye-pleasing, fairly delicious yogurt treat.

Yoplait wants you to "Delight Your Day" and has offered to giveaway a gift pack to a Brimful Curiosities reader. The "Delight Your Day" gift pack includes, a spa mask, wrap robe and slippers and coupon for Yoplait Delights - all delightful treats for you to enjoy and relax with every day.
