One of the benefits of running a pretty successful food blog is that every once in a while people make me a few offers I can’t refuse. In this case, the Safeway family of stores suggested that I give Yoplait’s Fiber One yogurt a try and tell you guys what I thought about it. They also gave me the option of offering a Safeway Fiber One gift pack consisting of a $50.00 gift card valid at Safeway, Von’s, Dominick’s, Tom Thumb, Genuardi´s or Randall’s.
To me that sounded like a win-win, so I said sure!
I got my gift card from Safeway and Fiber One through MyBlogSpark, along with a coupon for a package of yogurt in the mail yesterday, headed down to my local Safeway and picked up some yogurt (and other stuff. I mean hey, I had $50.00 to spend. I took advantage of it!) I just gave the Strawberry yogurt a go for breakfast and…
It tastes like strawberry Yoplait. It’s exactly what I expected. Thick, rich and creamy. No funky aftertaste or strange textures. It’s good yogurt, suitable for whatever it is that you use flavored yogurt for. The plus’ are that this particular yogurt has only 50 calories, 5 grams of fiber and 0 grams fat. It’s a great way to ensure that you or your family members are getting the recommended amount of fiber in their diets.
I gotta say that I can’t find anything bad to say about the product, I’d recommend it to family and I recommend it to you if you like Yoplait. You get a little added benefit from the fiber and still get a good cup of yogurt in the process. If you hit your local Safeway before the 9th of February you can get 2 4-packs for $4.00 and give a couple of flavors a try at just about half the regular price, too.
Now on to the fun part! The peeps at Safeway want me to give one of you guys a $50.00 Gift certificate good at any one of the Safeway family of stores, and I want someone to get it!
All you have to do is leave a comment letting me know what flavor of yogurt is your favorite, which you’d like to try, or how you use flavored yogurt (other than just eating it straight out of the container, that is.)
I’ll pick a winner at random from the comments on Thursday morning. I know it’s short notice, but I have other things to give out over the course of the next week as well. The fun just never stops around here!
Get those comments in. I really want someone to get the card!

I actually like the plain yogurt best….but some flavors are really intriguing, like the key lime pie!

Yoplait’s one of the better brands on the market – the ‘exotic’ flavors are favorites here in the house – most recently the triple berry concoction has addicted someone near and dear. :-)
We love the peach at our house! We are big yogurt eaters, so have tried all the flavors, but we keep coming back to peach.
I’ve been actually making my own yogurt lately in a thermous. I’t’s quite easy and delicious. My favorite way to use a flavored yogurt is in a fresh fruit salad. Cant wait for the fresh fruit season!

I love key lime!
i’m as close to a plain jane as you can go… vanilla is my favorite… especially when the whipped vanilla yogurt is frozen… yum!!
i love peach yogurt
Mmm yogurt! We eat a ton of it! Thank you for hosting this great give away, too!
Lime yogurt + a tiny bit of shaved chocolate = awesome and easy desert
Lemon yogurt + blueberries = awesome and easy breakfast
Strawberry and peach yogurts + winter fruits like apples, oranges, bananas = a hint of summer in the snowy winter
Vanilla or plain yogurt and a teaspoon of jam = make any flavor under the sun
I eat alot of Yoplait yogurt at work…my favorite flavors have “berry” in them. I cook quite a bit and i make both cappuccino cookies and blackberry parfaits with vanilla yogurt. I would much rather grab a yogurt to snack on than products out of the vending machine that are much higher in calories :)
