Letting the kids help with cooking is always an easy way to keep them healthy – they’re more likely to eat vegetables or new foods if they helped to cook it.

My kids love Yoplait! Its a great and healthy snack for my kids to take to school for their snack time! I really stocked up when Publix had it B1G1.

Thanks for all you do, Jenny!!!

exercise: dance parties! chase outside in the yard. Make vegetables fun: ants on a log (celery). Read more books after dinner for vegetable eating. We have a small trampoline with a handle and my boys jump jump jump all day long.

We love yogurt here! Our kids have it every night as a snack before bed. I also let them play outside as much as possible…play is a great form of exercise for little ones.

One of the best things I have found to keep kids healthy is to get them used to drinking water from a very young age. When my children drink juice, it is always diluted with water. If this is what they get used to, straight juice will taste too strong to them.

Also, plant a garden together. Kids are always more willing to try fruits or vegetables if they come from their own garden.

Matthew likes yogurt, though I’m not sure we have tried this type before. He loves to play soccer and ride his bike to stay healthy, plus we are working on a garden so we can have fresh vegetables to eat with our meals.

My daughter loves this yogurt!! It’s great with those 1.50 off Qs too! It in itself is healthy compared to candy, etc.!! Thanks for the giveaway!!

Letting the kids pick their own food from healthy choices makes them think that they’re getting to eat whatever they want. They love that!

I’m eight months pregnant with my first child and I love Yoplait yogurt. Hopefully as my daughter grows up, I’ll be able to set a good example for her to follow in the foods I eat.

Also, thank you Jenny!!! This site is a lifesaver! I’ve been able to save money to prepare for my baby and it seems like I’m able to buy more groceries now than ever!

One way that I keep my kids healthy is by making my own little snack packs. My kids love to eat “junk” food just like other kids, so I buy them treats every once in a while and separated them into baggies with just a few in each. The only way they get to eat their snack pack is if they eat a piece of fruit or some veggies and dip FIRST! It is a great trick to get the kids to eat their required servings of fruit while letting them have a treat! They love it!

I force my kids to play outside on nice days for a certain period of time before I let them watch ANY TV! Luckily they love the outdoors, but I don’t want to run the risk of them turning into couch potatoes. And they are both huge yogurt fans, too!

We LOVE yogurt in our house, so this is right up our alley! We have our kids eat from all the food groups at each meal, so that they don’t load up on carbs or milk, etc. without having had their veggies :-)
thanks for the giveaway!!

My kids love yogurt and always ask for it when they are at the grocery store with me. I keep healthy snacks on hand for my 5 and 7 year old, and try to be creative in how I present the snacks to them. Kids love to dip, so I’ll have light ranch dressing with vegetables on a fun plate, or peanut butter or yogurt for them to dip fruit or crackers into. It makes it more fun for them, and they aren’t screaming for the candy.

One way I try to keep our kids healthy is to set a good example for them. When I make choices to eat healthy foods and live an active lifestyle I’m teaching my children valuable lessons for life.

Keeping kids healthy is easy when you puree vegetables into every day foods- I actually do this for myself, too! I have a great recipe for brownies that have cauliflower in them. They taste great and you’d never know! :)

My daughter loves the Yoplait “stick yogurts” and eat probably one a day. Sometimes we will put them in the freezer, and they end up like ice cream sticks and she loves them that way too (if she can get to them: often my husband will get to them first). We also include her in meal preparation, and she will most always wolf down any meal she cooks……one final way to encourage her is that she has to eat at least one bit to try something. This does not always work, but a few times has led to eat a newer, healthier food simply by trying one bite!

Love the GoGurts! I keep them in the freezer and my 2 year old eats them in the tub like popsicles. During a recent round of antibiotics for an ear infection, he would eat these when he wasn’t eating anything else. He likes to push them up too. It makes him feel like a big boy:)

If you don’t buy it, they won’t eat it!

My daughter is only 18 months, but we eat lots of fruits and I try to do veggies at lunch and dinner!

Miss Jenny, I have been eating that yogurt for a while now. It’s thick and creamy and doesn’t fall of the spoon, so it’s perfect for kids. In the meantime, it’s just as yummy for adults, because it tastes extremely good mixed with trail mix or granola. Yum! I actually let your girls dip their waffles in it when you were off for your birthday. Bad aunt, I am.

We love Yoplait! TIP: Play 10-Toy pickup! The first child to put 10 toys back in the correct location gets to pick which toy to play with next. Let them play for 10 minutes and then do another round until the playroom is clean.

in our house healthy living means lots of play and NO TV (this goes for the adults as well as the kids). They go outside everyday to play, when raining i back the cars out of the garage.

As far as eating goes i try. I’m not perfect as they do love those chicken nuggets – lol. but i restrict sugar (they drink water/milk) and hide fruits and veggies in all sorts of food. they love meatloaf and I love it because its packed with all sorts of veggies. :)

Yogurt is a healthy food,good way for everyone to get calcium,plus it is tasty….you can add fruit,granola etc. for an extra zip….I love it,Shirley

My children love this stuff! As for health tips- I don’t allow junk food into my house. My dh is a big junk food junkie, and the kids were following in his steps. Now, he gets the kettle chips and diet soda.

I have my children help with the grocery list and the get to pick a favorite to add to the list. I try to stay away from the high fructose corn syrup, and food colorings as well. My children love fruit snacks, but I will only buy the fruit leathers for them. We also try to get outside and do nature walks as long as the weather is good!!

I just try to keep my kid healthly by modeling good habits for them. We eat a lot of fruits and veggies – but when we have treats we do so in moderation. My hubby and I just joined a gym so we can model the physical part of health for them too.

Thanks for offering this contest!

The one thing I try to encourage my kids to do is drink tons of water. That is the one thing that always works!

I help keep my daughter healthy by regulary taking her to activities that requir her to run around and get exercise. We love the indoor playgrounds with bounce houses!

Green smoothies (spinach, fruit and yogurt, maybe ice and water) YUM! Decorate them with fresh fruit….almost all kids will beg for more. Also, we enjoy making homemade granola with which to top our yogurt. And, yes, yoplait kids yogurt is my favorite because it is creamy and not too sweet.

Allow your kids to be part of the food preparation and cooking helps. Plus, get outside and move your body together, as a family. Active families are typically healthier families!

Lots of play and veggies works for us. Thanks!

I was told about the website by a friend and love it. I have a large family to provide for each week and have found the saving to be great. I have 2 young grandchildren and the site has been so helpful in providing information on where to get the best deals for all their needs. Thank you so much for sharing.

Debbie

Turn off the TV! My (almost) two year old loves to help plant flowers and veggies in the garden. Sometimes he eats more than others, but we hope that growing his veggies will give him great satisfaction in eating them!

I have two very picky eaters but they both love the kids’ yoplait yogurt!

I LOVE YOPLAIT!! My kids come home everyday STARVING!!! I give them the option for a yogurt selection! They love it and they are getting a great after school snack. The size of the container is also great!! It holds them over til dinner!!! Just FYI I love the yoplait yogurt too (SHHH)

We just recently started keeping foster children, and I am forever trying to figure out what would be best for them for nutrition and activities since I have never had any children of my own. One thing we always do is offer yogurt and fruit for snacks in place of the sugary, unhealthy ones. Thanks for the giveaway!!

I love to run and take my two kids (4 year-old and 3 month-old) with me in the jogging stroller. I try to map my routes so that part way through the run my daughter can get out and play and get some exercise too. If this won’t work, I sometimes let her ride her scooter as far as she can and then put the scooter in the bottom of the stroller for the rest of the run. I love showing her that exercise is important to me, and having her participate too. She also likes to do sit-ups and push-ups with me after I run!

The Yoplait kids yogurt is our favorite kids yogurt. I started my daughter with this kind of yogurt and she actually likes it better than any other kids yogurt out there!

From the very beginning I have always treated healthy food like a reward for my daughter. I had to change my own mind set of different fruits and vegtables, before I could convince my child that this is what she needed to eat. I allow her to help me pick out produce. She loves touching them, looking at the bright colors, and smelling all the different kinds of items. You can not get the same interaction from food out of the box. So that creative thinking had to kick in when my daughter stopped nursing and it was time to drink milk. Our daughter refused to drink milk, chocolate, strawberry, whole, and even organic. So we decided to introduce a new special treat. Yogurt! It smells great, the colors are fun, and you can eat it for breakfast, lunch, a quick snack, and even dessert. I bought her Keylime pie(which is green)for St. Patricks Day, cotton candy yogurt the week we were going to the circus, orange cream during Halloween, and even strawberry mixed with blueberry on the 4th of July. She loves to try new flavors. Who knew Yogurt could be so much fun! Now that I have helped her to create the love for yougurt she requests a cup everynight after dinner for dessert! On Spagetti night she always wants Cinnamon Bun yogurt for dessert. Who doesn’t like Cinnamon Buns with out all the calories, and sticky mess. Plus yogurt it very quick, easy, and extra convient!

Jenny my son doesn’t care for milk so by letting him eat yogurt he still gets his calcium.Daniel likes to play baseball.He is forever running around.My older daughter is a cheerleader so is always active.
Did you know yogurt is good for yeast infections??Yougurt is healthy for many resons!!!
Love this new game you have come up with!!

My granddaughter is five and eats with us 10 days out of the month. She helps with dinner by her daddy and herself making part of the dinner eat time. She is learning what is healthy and also that she does not have to eat food she dislikes but has to eat something healthy. The yogurt offers her variety.

HI jenny

this is such a great site and you are doing a good job saving us so much money in this hard times. well i buy yoplait yogurt for my daughter and to keep her healthy i started itfrom a very young age i gave her fruits, whole milk and carrots and devoted one hour for us to play dance and just have fun this way we both have a healthy time by not watching tv and eating and i also make sure that all of us have at least one meal together this way our kids can learn to eat by watching us eat.
i would love to win this giveaway thanks

My stay-healthy tip is sneaking one of the yoplait yogurts into my whole grain muffins. I can vary the yogurt flavor and the kids never even notice because the muffins are so moist and delicious!!!!

My daughter loves the Dora yogurt. It does have a lot of sugar, but at least it doesn’t have corn syrup in it

The best thing I have done to keep my daughter healthy is encourage her to drink milk and water early on. Now – she’ll choose either of those over soda and even juice any day!

I have found that if I buy something my son will eat it. So I make sure that I always have fruits and veggies in my kitchen. I’m lucky that he is at an age where he’ll eat anything.

Teaching kids that exercise and eating healthy are a part of everyday living is a HUGE gift…something that will impact their lives (not to mention the lives of those around them) in a variety of ways!

Hi. Love Yoplait! My daughter plays outside a lot and drinks lots of milk and water. She’s even passed up snacks for fruits on occasion!

My 3 year old daugther loves yogurt and will choose it as a snack any time! She also loves pretzels and raisins which are a great healthy snack.

We enroll our kiddos in a TON of sports. When soccer season is done, we got to swimming lessons, after that, basketball season… on and on. It makes for busy weeks, but they get TONS of excersize and meet lots of friends!

We get our kids outside almost everyday. If it is cold we bundle up. Fresh air does a lot for the spirit and body.

We eat lots of veggies and fruits – I’m hoping my little boy will continue to like them once he gets older.

johnson1032@netzero.com

my little one likes yoplait yogurt. it is a great snack for him.

My kids love gogurt in their lunch box! They go to the fridge and get one out for a snack :) I never mind!

My daughter Clara is completely obsessed with Trix yo-plait yogurt. Trix has had little codes on the lid that you can enter on their website to watch cartoons, my child downed 3!! yogurts in a row to get all three codes. Every time I turned around she was eating a different color yogurt! Lol I have no problems getting her to eat yogurt! (and mommy likes it because there has been some awesome coupons for their yogurt and got it on sale)!!!

First – I must say I enjoy your website!

Secondly, helping kids stay healthy and learning about their health can always be tricky! I think some things to do are to have them help with cooking and make healthy eating fun! Creating different fun things to eat makes the whole experience better.

Thirdly, excercise is key! So many kids today do not excercise. It doesn’t have to be organized sports such as baseball, soccer, etc. If you can’t afford that simply get them outside to play! Remember when we were kids? We played jumprope, at the park, biking, skateboarding, tag, throwing a ball around, etc. The key is to get their bodies moving!

Thanks!

We have just begun “Fitness Fridays” at our house. Every Friday we try to find an activty that helps us get fit. We are taking walks, visting state parks to go hiking, and planning some other fun things for the summer.

I have 4 kids ages 7, 5, 5 and 3 who all love to eat yogurt. However, I have never tried the kids yogurt. I would love to try some for free!

Thanks for all that you do. I love your site and visit several times a day in hopes of catch the great deals that you post.

I let my daughter taste a wide range of veggies and fruits when she started eating solid food to condition her taste bud. I think that helped because now she eats them just like they’re her favorite!

My kids love this yogurt; we eat it everyday. We try to stay healthy by taking daily walks

my little girl loves yogurt- esp. the yoplait with dora on the pkg.

My whole family loves yogurt except my youngest who unfortunately has a dairy allergy-she loved it before we realized what it was doing to her! poor thing! But the other kids eat it all the time!

Love Yoplait yogurt! It is difficult to keep my family stocked in yogurt because they all love it. Free is great!

My little boy has problems digesting lactose, and is not a huge fan of the Soy milk. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that he is able to eat yogurt without upsetting his digestion, AND he considers it a treat! I make sure that he eats yogurt at least once a day to keep his calcium up!

I am also new to this site.A family member turned me on to it,and I have to say ,I LOVE IT !!!!!I just can’t wait to get off work and get home and check your site!!I have saved so much money.Thanks!!!!Keep up the good work!!!

Both of my children love yogurt. My son eats it as a snack on most days. We try to do mostly healthy snacks and this is one of our favorite! Shannon

PS: New to your site and LOVE it!!!!! Coupons are my new addiction, so keep all this great information coming!

My grandson is ADHD, and mildly autistic. Getting him to eat anything other than a few trusted foods is impossible.So, consequently we worry a great deal about his health. Yogurt is one of the few healthy foods he will eat. He does not eat very much fresh fruit, but he will eat the fruit snacks, but I buy him the ones made with real fruit and juice, and I buy the frozen fruit bars. We also invested in a Wii, because it gets him UP and MOVING!! Sadly tho, he beats me at pretty much all of the games. lol.

My son has ADHD, but I did’t want him to have other health issues. I have my son try a table spoon of vegetables evertime we sit down to eat. There is not many that he won’t eat now. I started when he was small, because I didn’t want him to be a picky eater and only eat Chicken nuggets like so many of his friends. His favorite fruit is apples.

My favorite way to help my four year old daughter stay healthy and active is working outside in our yard and garden. We get outside in the sunlight and fresh air and get our bodies moving! Trying our hand at growing our own vegetables gives her an added interest in eating them! She is so proud of what she grows and happily eats it. Also letting her help out in the kitchen preparation for our meals has helped, too.
We also like to check out new produce in the grocery store! She likes to play “Guess that Fruit or Vegetable” by asking questions like “What’s red with a brown stem?”. She loves it.
I would LOVE this prize because we are actively trying to get more dairy and calcium into our diets – Mommy included!

Hello,
I love to give my little boy raisins in the grocery store to keep him quiet instead of smarties or suckers:)
Karlie

Thanks for the opportunity to win this!

My kid-healthy advice is to turn off the TV :)

My kids have salad every day and play outside a lot. They have a lot of energy, and don’t watch very much TV. Thanks for the giveaway!

My son loves Yoplait yogurt. Diego is his favorite!

I feed this to my 13 month old son. He always says “mmm mmm!” And my 9 year old likes the Scooby-Do “Ro Gurt”. He eats one everyday.

We help our kids stay healthy by:
1. Example, example, example: My husband and I eat healthy and stay active as age-group atheletes. Our kids just think it’s a normal lifestyle.
2. Get outside. We live in Portland, OR and while the weather is not always ideal, we get outside as much as we can. Inside typically = sedentary.
3. Involve them in cooking. Involvement depends on age, but I’m a firm believer that the frequency of eating out has a direct correlation on fitness/health level of your family. Teach kids the importance of using fresh and healthy ingredients early.
4. Daily veggies — raw or cooked. My kids prefer raw veggies 90% of the time, so I don’t force them to eat the cooked varities.
5. Have healthy snacks readily available for kids. If your kids are like mine, they eat about every 30 minutes (if that!). So we have “approved” snacks available they can easily grab themselves.
6. Kids Choice meals. Once a week we let the kids direct the dinner menu. Usually pizza or sloppy joes, etc. — we make healthy versions so they know they can have “normal” food in a healthy way. Besides, a kid can only eat so much brown rice and tofu, right?

Lots of great ideas here — look forward to reading more!!

Hiding veggies has been my past time. I have a picky 8 year old. He will eat yogurt and fruit so I stock up often. And of course thanks to Jenny I know when to do so!

Teaching children to eat by the color wheel is the most beneficial way I’ve seen to get kids to eat fruits and vegetables. Giving them a challenge and changing their perspective on food always helps. Rather than looking at them as fruits and vegetables, kids see eating according to a color wheel as a game! This also ensures that they are getting a wide variety of nutrition.

We’ve always used yogurt as a healthy snack – much better than cookies, candy, ice cream….

This is my favorite yogurt for kids. It actually has LESS sugar than “adult” yogurt. AND it is firmer so that it isn’t as messy for little ones learning to use a spoon!
My tip for keeping kids healthy: LAY OFF the sugar!!!! Sugar KILLS your immunities, actually makes it impossible for vitamin C to enter your bloodstream for a few hours. NO WONDER “flu” season is in the time between Halloween and Christmas, huh? My kids are healthier because we just don’t eat much sugar. If we do, we balance it out with extra good for you stuff later.
Also, we replaced all the cleaners in our house with 100% natural cleaners. Made a HUGE difference in our respiratory health and both my children were able to come off their allergy medications! AMAZING!

I keep my kids invloved in physical activities–and attempt to provide a balanced diet…as much as possible :-)
Thanks for the opportunity!

When my kids ask for snacks I try to offer healthy choices!

I’m new to your website, but I am in love with all of the great deals!
Thank you! For all your hard work!
I can’t wait to see what else is to come!

My 2 1/2 year old son loves Yolait Kids yogurt. He would eat it all day, everyday if I would let him. He is a VERY picky eater so I try to sneak healty foods in wherever I can. I mix fruits and vegetables into pancakes (his favorite) and anything else I can think of. The book The Sneaky Chef by Missy Chase Lapine has completely changed what my son eats. We also try to stay active by going for walks, playing outside and even running around the house like we are crazy.

I love your website. My children (I have 5) eat yogurt all the time. It is a very healthy alternative. We will make smoothies with frozen fruit and yogurt. The kids love it.

I tell my son if he eats his dinner, he will get a special surprise…usually some yogurt, fruit, or pudding all of which are pretty good for him rather than dessert or candy.

We try to eat at home as much as possible because eating healthy when you go out is hard. If we do find ourselves at a fast-food place, I stick to the ‘no more than 1 fried food’ rule. If they get fried ckn nuggets, they can have apples or a fruit cup with it. If they resist, I tell them to pick 1- it is their choice- fries or nuggets and then I choose the rest of the meal.

I am with you, Jenny. I try to get my daughter to have fruit or yogurt for a snack, and she is just fine with that. As long as she gets a snack, she is happy! If only I could follow the same rules for myself–I try! Thanks for the website–I love (and need) to save money, and I am starting to check this site every day! I love publix, just like you and so many others!

Yoplait is my favorite. The kids like all the different flavors. The trix bunny and the cute small cups encourages them to eat yogurt and they do not even realize they are eating healthy. The kids help me with the garden and collecting eggs. Being envolved in the harvesting process sometimes makes vegetables more enticing.

While fixing dinner set out a plate of fresh vegies with ranch dressing. Tell kids that the veggies are their appetizer. The kids will eat more veggies than you might imagine.

My kids are regular yogurt eaters. My son does have a sweet tooth so I often have to sneak veggies into things, but my girl really enjoys them.

To keep kids healthy stay at home and make a healthy meal and eat as a family. Eating together as a family is good for the body, soul, and mind. Some of the best conversations happen over the dinner table.

We had to start giving my daughter yogury (YoBaby) when she was about 9 months old. When I went back to work (am a teacher and had the summer off), she refused to go back to a bottle. My pediatrician said yogurt counted as a fluid. So since she wouldn’t drink ANYTHING while I was away at work, we started giving her yogurt to help avoid dehydration. She loves it to this day!!!

It’s the only thing healthy my daughter will eat!
High in calcium. Plus the good type of bacteria!
What more could a mother ask for?
We love it here!

I love to keep the kids yogurt on hand. It is a quick and healthy snack for my growing daughter. I like that it is good for her also.

My daughter loves to eat yogurt with her daddy! Strawberry is their favorite!

My one year old loves “smoothie” I just fix a bottle with a couple scoops of yogurt, a splash of milk and whatever fruit juice I have open then shake, shake, shake. THis is a great way to get her to drink her yogurt. Its super quick to fix too!!

We love our Dora yogurt here!! I buy them 3 packs at a time.

Anyone with ADHD kids want to stay away from kids yogurt with red dyes. Causes hyperactivity (per my childrens research pediatrician). I have found that Yo-plus does not have dyes or aspartame. And a bonus…it has fiber!!!! My kids love it.

My kids love yogurt, thank goodness. And they also think that fruit chews are candy. Hee, hee.

Yoplait is one of our favorites! I usually “dilute” it with plain, lowfat yogurt and then spoon into individual containers.

To help our boys stay healthy, we spend a lot of time outside. Riding bikes, running up and down the street, jump roping, rollerblading, etc. I don’t do all the running around, but we encourage our kids to. :-)

I have my son help with gardening and cooking. He loves veggies straight from the garden!

I keep a low cupboard shelf open to my 18-month old so that she can pick the snacks that she wants and I keep it stocked with healthy treats (dried fruit, rice cakes, goldfish, kashi bars, etc).

Tip: Never give too much sugar and carbs together, like juice with cookies or crackers. Try to balance their diets with protein/carb combinations. It keeps their blood sugar more stable and prevents the sugar rush that leads to trouble and the crashing that leads to the crankies and the munchies. So if my kids get a donut, they have milk and eggs with it. Juice goes with cheese, edamame, tofu or low sugar yogurt. Milk goes with cookies cake. Fiber (like in fruits, nuts and veggies & grains) also helps keep the happy balance. They can still have their treats and we can all have our sanity. Please enter me in the Yoplait Kids yogurt contest – we’d love to try it!

My son is 4 and I still water down his juice. He once had a ‘real’ juice box, made a face, and handed it back! It was too sweet!

Sit down and eat dinner together as a family….if you display good eating habits it is bound to catch on with the little ones! :)

We try to spend as much time outside in the summer, we will have raspberry and blackberry bushes the kids can pick straight off the bush while they play this year too–exercise and healthy foods all in one place!
We would love the yougurt–one of my kids fav treats–as well as the toys for outside!!
Jenny

I love that we have finally found a food(yogurt) that our son can eat with dairy and doesn’t get sick(lactose intolerance to milk, ice cream,full cream/fat yogurt,etc). We love it and have convinced our little ones that the frozen yogurt tubes are popsicles.

I would love to win the yogurt. I have a daughter and she loves it… (So do me and her dad…)

My son is only 6 months old, but I’m trying to introduce many fruits and veggies so he has the taste for them as he grows!

My kids LOVE yogurt! Awesome givaway! Thanks for all you do.

I like to keep my kids involved with everyday activities, such as washing the cars, watering flowers outside, pulling weeds- anything to get them outside in the fresh air! :)

I boot them outside as much as possible — especially when the weather is great. Plus, we just don’t drink juice/soda/etc or eat a lot of junk food. We just usually have some chips on Sunday.

When my boys were young they had to eat as many bites of everything on their plate as to how old they were. This got us thru the toddler years, and they developed a taste for a large variety of foods. When they were 2, they ate at least 2 bites of everything, when they were 3, 3 bites etc. They were always healthy and usually escaped all the “bugs” that were going around. Today they are 23, 20, and 15 and will eat anything that is put in front of them, and always have and continue to live very vibrant lives.

FRUIT SMOOTHIES with a STRAW!!!

Vanilla yogurt (I use non-fat or low-fat)
Milk (again, low fat)
frozen fruit

Mix and layer it in the blender, serve with a cool looking straw and my kids think they’re in heaven. They’d rather have a long-lasting smoothie than a cookie or candy that’s gone in seconds…and it’s healthy. Sometimes I even let them have one for breakfast on special occasions. =)

I replace some of the liquid in my cakes, brownies, etc. with pureed veggies. The kids never know.

My three year old son loves his “big boy” yogurt every moring with his breakfast. And I love that it is good for him.

My daughter loves yogart. She could eat it for every meal. I started making homemade yogart so I could control the sugar, but on busy nights, she gets yoplait. We stay healthy by playing outside and doing yard work.

I try to incorporate different colors in each meal and regularly have more than one kind of veggie at dinner. I found if I put them in smaller portions, they eat it…larger ones are “scary” I guess. :0) Thank you for your incredible site!

I keep my boy healthy by letting him be outside as much as possible!!!!!!!!!!!

First of all Jenny, love the site and you are so kind to help so many of us. My kids love yogurt luckily for me. My 23 month old is so picky but loves Yoplait!! We love to play outside and have dance parties inside for exercise. I get my exercise this way too!!

Enjoy the mountains!!

I have 5 year old twin boys that insist that mommy make their lunch every single day. Which gets very old, but I also know that what I make them is much better than the processed food they would receive at school. I always give them an option of several items for their lunch. They change sandwiches & baked chips everyday, but they ALWAYS have the same snack Yoplait Trix yogurt! My son Ayden always eats Strawberry/kiwi and my son Trace eats Cotton candy.

Also, my boys drink alot of water!! ALOT!!!! Which is wonderful. They drink way more water than their mommy! So SAD> LOL

With 5 kids, We go through alot of groceries. I also homeschool, and one thing we did this year in science is learn about the body. One day there assignment was to make lunch and use all of the food groups. This got them picking healther foods to eat, that they normally would not eat. They all love yogurt and cereal, those are the Qs I use the most. Good And Healthy.

Read the entire attached vitamin d article. I am 41 (almost 42) and was diagnosed with low vitamin D about 6 months ago. It wreaked havoc on my system. I had tons of tests done for all sorts of things trying to figure out why I hurt all the time – well, low D was the culprit. I feel much better and have been supplementing with 2000 ius since the diagnosis. As for the yoplait – EVERYONE in our house eats it. My kids love it all, the low sugar, the drinkable and the squeeze yogurt and I like the light thick and creamy! Great stuff. Thanks for the give-away contest. Very fun!
Kim K – Greenville SC

I love the yogurt for my 4-year old!

I love yogurt!! Thanks for the great giveaway.

My babies eat yogurt as dessert too. We also add it into many of the dishes that we cook instead of sour cream or cream cheese. The kids are so excited b/c they think they are getting icecream. Especially when it has been in the freezer for a while to firm up. I also hide veggies in many of the dishes that I make. Cheesy Rice is broccoli casserole, lasagna is loaded with spinach and finely chopped mushrooms, etc…

My daughter loves Yoplait Kids yogurt! She’s two and her tastes are ever evolving. She isn’t veggie crazy, so I have to sneak them in by mixing veggies with foods she does like. I also dilute her juice regularly since she loves juice so much. If I can get her to drink plain water, I would be all too happy.

We love yogurt in our house, especially the 11 month old! This would be a great treat:)

my grandkids love playing outdoors and they love yogurt. they would love this.

Love the site. Kiddos love yogurt. Can’t beat a free giveaway!

My son loves this yogurt. He recently started swimming lessons so that keeps him fit. He also loves gymnastics which is great for fitness and also coordination. Whenever we go to the park he rides his bike there and back so we work in exercise daily! Thanks for the chance for a freebie! Have a great day!

I always “sneak” in veggies. I never make a meal where veggies are not incorporated. I’ve always done this and now my 2 year old can recognize almost any veg. out there. He always names things as we’re going thru the store. I show them to him raw and let him watch me cook them so he puts 2 and 2 together. My husbands even eats way more veg. now and actually likes them! I always tell my son raw veggies with dip (ranch) are a snack. He loves dippin’ snacks!

I love this site. My daughter and I both love yoplait yogart. She eats it all the time and it is a dessert to her.She has never been a huge milk drinker so I let her eat a lot of yogart. To encourage my daughter to be healthy I am trying to lead by example. I try to keep active and play sports or run. Today we ran the track together. This is new for her to run hard she is only 6 but this is something we will continue to do.

Playing outside is one of the major ways we stay healthy.
Thanks for the great giveaway :)

My son (like any other 6 year old) loves cokes and any other sugary drink. But I make him smoothies for snack, and now the kids from the naighborhood request them when they come to play. I put a can of fruit in the freezer and let it freeze. I put plain yogurt, the can of fruit, and some sugar free apple juice in the blender and blend it all together. Its healthier than cokes, he is getting a serving of fruit and dairy. Plus here is the big one, there is hardly any sugar in it!

think i’ll add it here…lol I have 12 grandkids and one fell out of the bed and broke his jaw and his arm and has a pretty black eye! Because of hiss broke jaw he can only eat soft foods and yogurt is one of them. Thanks to yoplait, my grands like the yogurt. AND THANK YOU!

Thankfully, my son loves dairy products and one of his favorites is Yoplait – and honestly that is the sweetest thing he eats. In fact, we have gotten him to where he doesn’t like cake, ice cream or other desserts b/c they are too sweet for him!

My daughter is only 4 months old, but once she does start eating regular food, I’ll try and do like I did with my little brother-in-law and make it a contest of who can eat the most XX, whether tomatoes, celery, etc. It’s amazing the competitiveness…lol

I like to get my kids involved in outside chores like raking leaves, helping in the barnyard, spreading gravel. They love to be outside and this is an active way to have them contribute to the household needs. Sometimes if they want a campfire I send them out to get branches and wood. This gets them exploring, working together, as well as good exercise. Afterwards, they are ready to sit and enjoy the fire!

Well living in an apt. out door exercise is a challenge b/c my 4 yr. old can’t go out and play alone. So I involve her in helping mommy with chores around the house. It is a way for use to spend time together and she feels like a big girl helping out. Not to mention the exercise and movement she gets. We also go to the park once a week or when we pick daddy up from work at a college campus we play chase in the huge yard! This is so much fun and I usually tire before her! We also play “chase” in the house and then have fun tickle attack! Also, she gets a smiley face on her chart for each new thing she tries! This is a great motivator for her! 9 out of 10 times she likes it! We also drink water the majority of the time and lots of fruit and yogurt! We have not tried the children’s yoplait but we love the Yoplait Yoplus; this helps the whole family keep regular bowels plus the probiotics and vitamens added~!

My kids love yogurt and I love that it is a snack or treat that I can feel a little less guilty about. I have found that letting them pick out the yogurt flavor and then telling them that it is a special treat only for a special time keeps that idea of yogurt as dessert going.

Thank you so much you do!
Me & the girls at work are new to your site and are loving it!

I try to make sure that Mallory gets lots of milk for strong bones!!

We all love yogurt here! Yoplait is so good! Thanks.

My four year old granddaughter and I cook on Monday and Wednesday nights. Doesnt mean she will eat everything but she does enjoy helping Nana and telling Pops which foods “she made.” Also, we have started most o my vegies for the garden indoors together, which we also did last year, and she loves it!! She checks on her seedlings and cant wait to plant and pick them. For busy mornings, I convinced her mother to take some light yogurt and whip it up with some Carnation instant breakfast for a quick breakfast shake and she is getting her calcium and fruit intake! Thanks. (we also lllloooove to make a little picnic and just go out back and eat although Pops hates to eat outside so she comes in announcing she ate ALL OF IT and pops missed it!)

My kids love Yoplait!

My son is a very healthy eater, but my daughter is a junk food lover. We have started a small garden this year with hopes that the kids will take pride in their harvest and eat it. We have a lot of family with gardens, and even one with a greenhouse, that give us veggies and plants, but we thought it might mean more to the kids if they start their gardens from seed.

Our family never really liked yogurt that is until….
I started using it in reciepes and calling it a dessert.
Now I can’t keep the stuff in the house. Even my neices and nephews are getting in on the good eating and they don’t really know it’s good for them. They asked their mom to make some of the cool pudding their aunt Lesley makes. Now that’s enough to make me feel good for a month!

I have a hard time getting away from my sweet tooth so trying to esablish healthy habits in my child I thought would be a chore. But with Yogurt you get that sweetness with the fruit and healty habits for your child and you feel healthier too. So you can do more activitys that help build healthy minds and bodys.

My kids love this yougart. I like that it is healthy. They like it even more when I freeze it. I love your website. Thanks for the give away.

This is great for kids to teach healthy habits!!!!!!!
and nice on a girls budget, Thanks

My girl stays healthy by running everywhere! Thanks for doing this giveaway!

what a great site, looking forward to trying the yogart

I love this yogurt and so does my little boy! Thanks for all you do! :)

My girls love the yogurt.

The best ways to keep kids healthy are:
plenty of sleep
plenty of water
plenty of playing outside

:)

We love yogurt and love your web site. Thanks for the great deals.

I Encourage our kids to play outside as much as they can and make up exercises for all of us.

My hubby calls any unhealthy food “chemicals,” as a joke. My kids picked that up and say it everytime they see an unhealthy food. It is so funny, seeing them wrinkle their noses and saying that. It does make them lose their unhealthy cravings though. Whatever works, huh?
