| Birdfeather's Full Review: Yoplait Whips Strawberry Yogurt 4oz |
I've always been a yogurt fan and even lured my husband into liking yogurt in the last year. It is one treat he can have in the low sugar/reduced calorie version. When Yoplait introduced the new Whips! version of yogurt, I knew it would be a treat I would like but not one my husband who has diabetes could not have because of the sugar content. So what's the scoop?
Yoplait Whips!
Yoplait Whips! can be found in the refrigerated section of the grocery store along side regular yogurts. The difference in this new formula and regular yogurt is that Yoplait Whips! has been whipped up into a light and fluffy texture. It still contains all the vitamins and minerals and of course, live cultures that regular yogurt contains.
Yoplait Whips! Strawberry Mist comes in a 4 oz. cup with removable foil pink lid. The lids are part of a charitable program where Yoplait donates 10 cents per lid for each one received back to them to the Susan G. Koman Foundation. The address to mail lids to are on the bottom side of the lid.
Yoplait Whips! may be a great way to introduce kids to eating yogurt. The whipped formula is light and makes eating it fun. The variety of fruit flavors should also appeal to kids of all ages.
While Yoplait Whips! is not low in calories, it makes a nice occasional snack or even incorporated into a dessert. I'll tell you how I do this below.
My Thoughts on Yoplait Whips! Strawberry Flavor
I really liked the strawberry flavor and texture of Yoplait Whips! To me the strawberry flavor was light and complimented the light and fluffy yogurt texture. I think this is a great treat and also a wonderful way to jazz up some desserts. In fact, it makes simple desserts look much more appealing.
Here are a couple of ways I've used Yoplait Whips! Strawberry to compliment a dessert.
Prepare Jello (I use sugar free) and spoon into individual serving bowls or dessert dishes. Top with a spoonful of Yoplait Whips! You can play around with matching the Jello flavor to the yogurt flavor or mix and match. Either way, it makes for a tasty dessert.
This is an easy dessert to prepare and one that both adults and kids like.
The second idea I came up with is to serve Yoplait Whips! over a hot out of the oven brownie. The strawberry flavor is one of my favorites for this suggestion.
And to take it a step further, you can put the Yoplait Whips! that is on your brownie on top of a serving of ice cream. Again, low-sugar ice cream can reduce the calories!
