My very first blog giveaway!

I was so pleased to be contacted by the Blogspark and Yoplait yogurt folks a few weeks back---asking if I would like to "test drive" a new product, Youplait Greek Yogurt. I said yes, and received an absolutely lovely gift pack in the mail called "Your Inner Goddess"..........
Included in the pack were two coupons for free cartons of Yoplait's Greek Yogurt, so off to the store to pick up my samples for tasting. There are four flavours available, and I chose strawberry and a honey vanilla.

I took the strawberry flavour (along with several spoons) to my Quick Fit class at the Y and asked several of the ladies to try it out and tell me what they did or didn't like about it. Three of my "fitness mates" tried it out, and all three loved it. Comments included: "Oh, good, the strawberries are already mixed in", "sweet, rich flavour", "very smooth, not chalky like some yogurts". I loved it----and I will be honest to tell you I am not a huge yogurt fan. I often find yogurt "chalky" or watery, but this Greek yogurt was rich, smooth, and flavourful.

I am as I type this snacking on the honey vanilla flavour. I opened it up and it does need to be stirred to be mixed, but it's worth the effort. I generally shy away from vanilla as it's often bland, but this tastes like a french vanilla pudding. When I bought it, I thought if it was too bland I would dress it up with either a banana or perhaps some cinnamon (not both), but on it's own it tastes great. I am definitely going to stock up on this stuff next trip to the grocery store--it's a good snack for me when I get home from the gym or when I have "quiet time" in the afternoon.

I'm taking this nutritional information directly from the honey/vanilla flavour carton:

Calories 130, total carbs 19g, sugars 18g, protein 12g. It's fat free, and the label says it has 2x the protein of the leading yogurt.

The best news is (drum roll please)-----I have a gift pack to give away to one of my blog readers! Included in the pack are all the items you see in the photo above: a towel wrap, loofah, bath sponges and brushes, slippers, and two coupons ---each for a free carton of Yoplait Greek Yogurt in the flavour(s) of your choice.

All you need to do to be entered for a chance to win is leave me a comment below, telling me what you currently do for your "inner goddess" (or inner god for my male readers!). The contest will end on Sunday, March 28 at midnight Eastern time. I will then use a Google random number picker to choose the winner, and the package will be shipped to you directly from the nice folks at Blogspark.

OK, everyone, get busy thinking about what you do for your inner goddess---for me, take your pick, it's knitting, exercising, or meditating! Have a great weekend, and don't forget to enter!
