A Review and a Giveaway

.!.

I have to warn you, Nature Valley Granola Nut Clusters, from General Mills, are addicting. Very, very addicting. So much so, I was half-tempted to hide them from my children and husband (because I do that sometimes, especially with all things chocolate, because when I want to indulge a little, I want my indulgence to be there), but I didn’t, because I knew it was a perfect snack for them as well! Sweet, crunchy, portable, these clusters of nuts and granola make the perfect school snack, hiking pick-me-up, or food to grab and eat while you’re on the run! They contain natural ingredients, a nice dose of protein, and not much sugar, which is important to me when I’m choosing snacks for my kids.

They come in 4 delicious flavors, Honey Roasted Peanut, Roasted Cashew, Nut Lovers, and Roasted Almond.

The next thing I’m excited to tell you about is Yoplait Fiber One Yogurt! As you can see, it has 50 calories, no fat, and contains 5 grams of fiber. Wow. That little cup, packs a big punch with the fiber, and the taste and texture are wonderful. It does come in a smaller cup that you’re typical 6 ounce yogurt, but I find that’s it’ perfect when I’m craving a small snack with a little sweetness. So far I’ve tried the vanilla, peach, and strawberry. Vanilla is definitely my favorite. I like to add a little granola and some cut up blueberries and strawberries to it for breakfast. If you’re a Weight Watcher, you’ll be pleased to know that this little cup of joy only has ZERO Points. That’s right Sisterhood, ZERO. Needless to say, I keep my fridge stocked with them at all times!

If you visit the Fiber One Yogurt site now, they have a printable coupon for $1 off!

Wanna know something great? I have a coupon for a free 4-pack of Fiber One yogurt for one lucky reader. Not only that, I have an awesome insulated travel lunch kit, a divided travel bowl, 20 oz. cup with lid, and a super-cool spoon/fork/knife combo. That’s right, you’ll be completely outfitted for packing a healthy lunch including your Fiber One yogurt.

If you want to win, leave a comment telling me what your favorite flavor of yogurt, and how you eat it. Straight out of the cup, mixed with something?

My favorite yogurt is Yoplait light vanilla. It is yummy just by itself but to make it even better I use it to make brownies. No I am not kidding – I make No Pudge brownies and all you need to add to the mix is one cup of yogurt. So….yogurt may be yummy by itself, but it is sooo much better with a brownie. The best thing is – they are only 2 points each!!! But beware – they are soooo good that its hard to stop at one….;)

Yoplait yogurt is my favorite, especially the Pineapple Upside Down Cake flavor. I eat it straight up, usually as a nighttime snack. Mmmmm…

I also top baked sweet potatoes with vanilla yogurt and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

I love nature valley snacks! They are very addicting and I have to hide them from myself! I didn't know that the fiber one yogurts had zero points! I love raw oatmeal with my yogurt.
