Starting the New Year Right with Yoplait Greek 100 Calorie Yogurts!

Today’s post is sponsored by Yoplait, by my love for their Greek 100 yogurt option is all my own! (Tough job, getting to try delicious food like Yoplait Greek 100 yogurts, right??)

Yoplait Greek 100

I posted a couple of weeks ago about how I don’t do resolutions. That doesn’t mean though that I don’t plan to start the new year off right and refresh my healthy living plans now that the holiday dinners and events are behind us. Last week, I was back on track with running, yoga, pilates and weight lifting. I also went back to my healthy breakfast routine, which actually was harder!

My normal morning routine is get up, do chores, get Little Dude out the door to school, run, shower and get to work. If I stay on task, it all comes together nicely and I get to start work knowing the house is in order, the family is all where they should be and I have done something for myself. (I also feel relieved to have the exercise behind me so I can stay motivated to eat properly all day. I never want to undo a good thing!)

I usually eat breakfast at my desk, and since I have so many other things to do, breakfast can’t be a long, drawn out or tedious affair. It’s frequently a smoothie, where I literally dump a few ingredients into the Vitamix and go about my day. My smoothies usually include unsweetened almond milk, Greek yogurt, kale, banana, peanut butter, green apple and/or berries. I try to mix up the combinations while still getting the most benefits and flavor.

But, as much as I love smoothies and their health benefits, I get bored easily and want to mix it up. Still though, it has to be fast and easy so when I was given the opportunity to try the new Yoplait Greek 100 yogurts, I jumped at it. I headed out to the local Safeway/Vons and bought 10 containers. There are so many flavors! Apple pie, banana caramel, black cherry, blackberry pie, Boston cream pie, coconut, honey, key lime, lemon, mango, mixed berry, orange cream, peach, pineapple, plain, raspberry, strawberry, strawberry cheesecake and vanilla.

Each yogurt has 100 calories, 10-12 grams protein and 0% fat. And all I have to do is grab a spoon and head to my desk. Perfect! I won’t get bored with all these flavors, and if I want to get creative and start adding toppings to mix in, I can do even more. I could even put a container in a smoothie!

As soon as I brought them home, my youngest son wanted one. I gave him a strawberry flavor and he quickly at the whole thing…at his desk, hence the lighting. Like mother, like son.

He loves yogurt and since we’re a healthy household, he knows the health benefits to eating yogurt. At 14, he’s into weight-lifting and getting “rockhard abs,” so he seeks out foods that will help and he knows calcium is good for his bones. No struggling to get him to eat the right things when it tastes as good as these Greek 100 yogurts! They are the perfect snack for after school or before Tae Kwon Do.

I tried the Blackberry Pie right away. So good! I had some strawberries left over from Saturday’s birthday party and grabbed a few of them as dippers. You can’t go wrong dipping fruit in yogurt and I think all of the Yoplait Greek 100 flavors lend themselves to this. I could add in all sorts of things to make new taste combinations and textures and keep us all on our healthy routine.

As a working mom, business owner and blogger, I’m frequently on the run. I love to have choices of things to grab and throw into my bag for a between-meal boost, and Greek 100 yogurts are easy. (Is it bad to admit I usually have plastic spoons in the glove box of my car? If it is, then I don’t….)

Things like this make it easy for me to stay on track without excuses. The yogurts are affordable, the perfect size and with so many flavors, the entire family will find something they like. In fact, I may have to tell people what flavors I want, as in HANDS OFF!

As we pulled up to our hotel in Paris, our driver As we pulled up to our hotel in Paris, our driver pulled over briefly on this bridge across the river Seine. She explained to us that it was a very popular place for people to take wedding and engagement photos. We got lucky, traffic cleared for a moment and I snapped this shot of a bride and groom in their honeymoon car, just about to drive away. It was a beautiful first real view of this city of romance. I want to go back again, just to wander and eat and try more wines, no real agenda beyond walking and taking it all in.

Our Alaskan cruise was full of amazing memories, b Our Alaskan cruise was full of amazing memories, but this day spent kayaking on Chilkoot Lake was incredible. Cold, deep water. Snowy peaks. Glacier fed. Slightly terrifying but once we got in the groove, we kicked ass. 10/10 if you take an Alaskan passage cruise.

With the recent release of Guardians of the Galaxy With the recent release of Guardians of the Galaxy 3 in theaters, the Avengers Campus at Disney California Adventure is even more relevant to me when I visit the park. Last week, the morning after I saw the movie, I was at my happy place and the first ride I went on was Mission Breakout. I got a kick out of the scene where Drax punches the animal in the face, and once you’ve seen GOTG3, you’ll get why. I considered going on it again, but I was on the Carthay wait list (highly recommended if you don’t have a reservation, particularly if there’s only 1-2 in your party) and I got my text to return within 15 minutes for my seat…and I really wanted the bao buns. I did head back later in the evening to watch a Marvel show with Black Widow by the Quinjet. Never saw Mantis though, was really hoping to get a picture with her. 

Don’t skip the gift store on your way off the ride. There’s a whole new batch of GOTGVol3 gear AND new Loki stuff! The purple Loki hoodie had just come out and I grabbed one before they sold out, even though I can’t imagine when I’ll wear it next here in SoCal. With the show coming out on October 6, I’ll wear it…with the a/c on if I need to. There’s also some new stuff in the Studio 17 store — if you haven’t visited it, it’s full of photo opps and gear for all your Marvel needs.

Disney’s Toontown has had a major redo recently, Disney’s Toontown has had a major redo recently, removing its iconic trolley — a photo opp of many memories with my Toontown-playing son — and adding a new ride, Mickey’s Runaway Railway. It’s a mix of animation, motion and music, and I LOVED it. Come along with me on a quick tour of the line-waiting area and part of the ride. Don’t worry, I didn’t share too much so you will still have plenty of surprises!  Say what you will about Disney-loving adults, I don’t care, I waited 35 minutes to ride this and I’ll do it again next time..and the next…and the next. Only warning: hold onto your hats, and ears! The ride is safe and smooth but there are some quick movements that may catch you off guard.

Getting a box from Melissa’s Produce is what I i Getting a box from Melissa’s Produce is what I imagine it would feel like when you’re a contestant on Chopped. What’s in the box? What can I make with it? Except without the pressure to get it all done in 45 minutes or less. Each box makes me be creative, and each item I’ve never tried pushes me a little out of my comfort zone to try new things. Whatever it is, we have so much fun! This box included Blue Potatoes, Baby Heirloom Tomatoes, Dragon Fruit (Yellow), Ojai Pixie Tangerines, Rhubarb, and a big bag of Fava Beans….which may be my favorite, because shelling them is relaxing and you can’t have too many fava beans and Chianti jokes.

Thank you @MelissasProduce! I’ll be sharing recipes soon. I’m thinking up ideas and will be making them all this week to post here in a reel or on my website. I’ll update later!
