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!

Missing days like this at Disneyland. La Trattoria Missing days like this at Disneyland. La Trattoria in DCA has always been a favorite place to take a break and relax. Or to just wait out traffic in the evening. I can’t wait to do this again...but I may never leave the Avengers Campus the first few visits.

My new take on an old classic cocktail shines due My new take on an old classic cocktail shines due to the addition of Ojai Pixie Tangerines! This untraditional version of a Bourbon Sour takes on a new flavor profile by replacing lemon juice and most of the simple syrup with fresh tangerine juice. Still tangy, still refreshing and still bourbon-y, you’ll want to add it to your backyard gathering or nights around the fire pit bar menus. With only three ingredients, you’ll be serving up cocktails in just a few quick shakes.

It may have been way too long since we played bocc It may have been way too long since we played bocce ball. Easter weather and the kids all together called for at least one round at the empty park. I did not win but I may have if we hadn’t cut the game short to come back and finish making dinner.

Good times, good times. I hope you had a happy Easter weekend, too!

Did you start a pandemic garden? I’ve gardened Did you start a pandemic garden? 

I’ve gardened forever now but 2020 made me rethink it. I wanted it to be as pretty as it was useful, and lavender is extremely multipurpose. Pretty. Smells amazing. Edible. And it helps you relax. I dry it and put it in sachets. I put it in my Magical Butter machine and make tinctures and oils. It makes a delish infused simple syrup for champs and a stalk stuck into a vodka cocktail adds a pop of color and flavor. 

Did I mention it just looks pretty? Bonus points for being my favorite color. I buy two new plants every year....except last year. By the time I could go into a nursery, no one had any. So I ordered seeds, but they aren’t ready to plant yet, so I’m short this year. Cultivating and growing lavender takes work, because they easily get too woody and stop blooming. I am a season off my game now but next year, it’s going to be a mini lavender festival in my own tiny backyard.
