Yoplait Yogurt doesn’t last long around here! Win a Kids Yogurt and a Yoplait cooler bag!
My kids are really drawn to “kids” yogurt, they like the little designs on the cups, they like the size of the cups but mainly they like the actual yogurt in them. Since the kids can eat a lot of yogurt, I had decided last winter to make my own and bought a yogurt maker. Unfortunately the kids didn’t catch on like I had hoped and I haven’t used it in forever now (I personally like how it came out but the kids stopped eating it and said it wasn’t as good). So it was back to buying them yogurt! Yogurt is like a treat to them, they love it like its dessert and don’t get sick of it. I can give them a lot of yogurt in place of less healthy snacks and its a win win situation. When the Parent Bloggers Network sponsored a Yoplait yogurt review I had to say yes since its something I already knew the kids loved!
Yoplait offers some great yogurt options for kids and I love that Yoplait Kids has 25% less sugar than other kids yogurts. Yoplait kids has DHA now and of course calcium. Its also available as a yogurt drink and my kids LOVE those. I have to hide them in the fridge so that they last more than a day, even Jamie searches the fridge for them and has helped herself a few times. I have found the yogurt drinks along with a cup of dry cereal are the perfect “eat in the car breakfast” for when we are having one of those hectic mornings and are running late. The only Yoplait product that I try to stay away from is the Trix yogurt, it is too brightly colored and does have more sugar than the other Yoplait Kids (of course its still yogurt so its a good option for people who have very picky kids that might need extra enticing to eat yogurt).
With Ethan starting kindergarten next week I have to get more organized and plan out his lunches and snacks ahead of time. I think I’ll rely on yogurt a lot when I’m packing his lunches, I really want to send him with things he likes but that aren’t junk food! He has an insulated lunch bag but I think I’ll put the yogurts in the freezer first thing in the morning so that I’m sure they stay cold.

Do the kids like applesauce? I’ve never been apple picking but if they could pick them off the ground they might like doing that and then helping you make applesauce. I don’t know how soon the apple season starts though.
I converted my husband to taking brown bag lunches to work after we got married. He used to buy stuff that was high priced and not very healthy.
Besides yogurt, string cheese is another way to add some calcium. It also has the advantage for school of not being messy to eat.
We love yougurt too!
We usually just take an empty cup so I can fill it with water or juice wen we get to wherever we are. I also take cheerios, goldfish, special K bars, or life cereal. Great giveaway, thanks!

Grapes, sandwiches, yogurt, and juice are a common staple!
My grandkids love yogurt, carrot sticks, celery sticks with Ranch Dip. They love peanut butter, which I stuff in celery sticks and in sandwiches. Dessert is a piece of fruit in season, usually an orange or apple.
I have a kindergartener starting this year so I haven’t sent school lunches yet but I remember when I was a kid, my mom would always make celery stuffed with peanut butter. It was great because it didn’t have to be refrigerated (we didn’t have these fancy insulated bags they have now). I still love it and so do my kids. Thanks for the great contest!
This will be the first year that my daughter will be taking a lunch so I am planning on giving her peanut butter sandwiches or lunchables and making sure she has healthy snackslike yogurt, string cheese or fruit likegrapes or bananas. I willalso make sure she has drink boxes or water to drink. I will give her healthy alternatives. Thanks so much for a great giveaway!
I do pretty much the same as what everyone else has already mentioned. Carrot sticks, yogurt, cheese and crackers,.. I also do the peanut butter and celery thing, except to make it fun and a little special I add a few raisins on top and call it Ants on a log.

Yogurt, grapes, raisins, or cereal are kid-pleasers, even for the pickiest of kids, like mine.
