YoPlus Light: Review and Giveaway

by Mrs. Moneysaver on October 20, 2009

MyBlogSpark sent me a YoPlus Light gift pack last week, including a couple of coupons to try the yogurt for free. I eat a lot of yogurt, but admittedly, I had never tried the YoPlus line from Yoplait. The YoPlus yogurts are loaded with natural dietary fiber (3 grams/10% daily value) and probiotic cultures, aiding your digestive health. And really, it was the fiber that made me a bit unsure of trying the yogurt in the past. I have no idea why, but I had this idea in my mind that the added fiber would make the yogurt taste bad. So with much trepidation, I bought the yogurt and gave it a try.

To my surprise, YoPlus actually tasted good. And the YoPlus Light only has 70 calories. Not bad, eh? The YoPlus Light yogurt is available in three flavors- strawberry banana, honey vanilla, and (yum!) key lime pie.

If you want to give YoPlus a try yourself, you can get a $1/1 coupon here. (Or have you taken advantage of their Switch For Free offer yet?)

In addition to the coupons to try the yogurt for free, I also received this from MyBlogSpark:

Now one Frugal in Virginia reader can also receive the YoPlus Light gift pack pictured above which includes a gym bag, sports towel, ear buds, and two free coupons* for any flavor of the new YoPlus Light yogurt.

*Please note: These free coupons are not valid in Louisiana, Nevada and North Dakota.
