Yoplait Kids – a thousand thumbs up.

Let me tell ya something, we go through a ridiculous, insane amount of yogurt in this house. And with two little ones heading off to kindergarten every day with lunchboxes in hand, it’s important to me to find the best value I can. I’ve tried to buy huge containers of yogurt and dole it out into little containers for the kids, but without fail, the containers never make it home from school. And as much as my kids enjoy the typical grown-up style yogurt, they make a huge mess out of it. When I discovered custard style yogurt, I was in love, and so were my little ones! It’s tasty and fun to eat, and it sticks to the spoon instead of falling in your lap. Bonus: the Yoplait Kids brand of yogurt is available in Dora, Diego, and Blues Clues styles, so the kids love it even more. Want to check it out for yourself? Well, what are you waiting for? It’s only available EVERYWHERE. What are ya, new? Hey, you can even print out a coupon right here and save $1.50. Yay!

EnviroKidz Crispy Rice Bars Giveaway – New Flavors!

I’m not a big fan of school lunches, so I pack my older twins’ lunches every single day. It’s a drag putting together a healthy lunch at 6 in the morning, but I do it, because I want to know what they’re eating during the day. And as easy as it would be to just start them a lunch account at school, I just *know* they wouldn’t eat school cafeteria tacos. Or hoagies. Or salisbury steak! And I really don’t see the nutritional value in eating bread sticks dunked in tomato sauce, which appears on the lunch menu at least twice a month.

Besides packing their lunches, I also pack a snack in their backpacks so they have something to much on in the afternoon. Being a kindergartener makes you hungry! I’m always trying to find some healthy treat for them to take once in awhile, to break up the monotony of eating fruit and string cheese. Here’s a GREAT option for little kids – EnviroKidz Crispy Rice Bars. We’ve tried these in the past and they’re delicious, and I just had a chance to sample two brand new flavors – Lemur Peanut Choco Drizzle (chunky peanut butter and peanuts with chocolate drizzle) and Penguin Fruity Burst (‘marshmallowy’ taste with colourful bits of fun fruity bursts). These low fat bars are made from whole brown rice, they’re low in sugar and sodium, and they’re also gluten free. And they’re GOOD! We received samples to try a few weeks ago, and I had to track down some promo images to use in this post because my family scarfed down the samples so quickly I didn’t have a chance to photograph them.

Aren’t they cute?

Want to try them for yourself? Leave a comment here letting me know your favorite healthy snack option for your kids, and I’ll draw one winner on Monday, September 15th. The winning commenter will receive both flavors in the mail!
