Giveaway: YoPlus Light Gift Pack
By · Oct 09Thank you all for entering. This contest is now closed. The winner is comment #47, Camie.
I am a big fan of YoPlus Yogurt, I think it tastes great and YoPlus is very generous with their coupons which means it is usually the yogurt I can get for the best price.
A few weeks ago I was excited to see that at my local Safeway the YoPlus Light was cheaper than the regular YoPlus so I decided to give it a try. I was a little unsure about the only flavor that my Safeway offered, Honey Vanilla, it just wasn’t sure how those two flavors would taste together. I was very pleasantly surprised. To me it tastes a bit like the flavor of McDonald’s Fruit & Yogurt Parfaits which I love!
YoPlus Light is available in 3 flavors: Honey Vanilla, Strawberry Banana and Key Lime Pie (I really wish my stores carried this flavor!). Each yogurt has only 70 calories and provides 3 grams of dietary fiber. I really like to have it at night for dessert with some Multi-Grain Cheerios on top. Yummy!
At my Safeway, YoPlus Light is priced at $2.25 for a 4 pack. You can get a $1.00 off printable coupon here or here and you can also get a $1.00 off ecoupon to load straight onto your Safeway card here.
What are you entering to win?
Thanks to MyBlogSpark, I have a YoPlus Light gift pack to give away so one lucky reader can try YoPlus Light for free. The gift pack includes:
- A cute sports bag (mine looks much cuter in person)
- A sports towel
- Ear buds
- 2 coupons for a free package of YoPlus Light (Note, these free coupons can not be redeemed in Nevada, Louisiana and North Dakota)
How do you enter to win?
Leave a comment here on this post letting me know what your favorite light dessert is. I am a pretty healthy eater, but dessert is my weakness. Tell me what you eat at night to get rid of the sugar cravings. If you don’t have a favorite light dessert, than tell me which flavor of YoPlus Light you would most like to try. I will draw one random winner on Monday, October12th at 1:00 PST.
This contest is open to U.S. residents only.
Disclaimer: I was not compensated for this review in any way besides being given a YoPlus gift pack from the people at MyBlogSpark. The opinions regarding YoPlus Light are mine.

My favorite sweet treat is a home-made smoothie. We buy frozen strawberries and OJ and add whatever fruit we have on hand. It’s also a good way to use older and bruised fruit, just cutting away the bruised parts.
October 9th, 2009 at 10:21 am
Strawberry Banana…most definitely. I have been getting these pretty cheap at Kroger and was impressed at how good they are.
Love your website… check it daily (sometimes twice) so thank you for all that you do to keep us informed.
October 9th, 2009 at 10:25 am
I really do want to try the light honey vanilla YoPlus
October 9th, 2009 at 10:31 am
For a quick fix when I am craving something sweet, I always keep a bar of dark chocolate around. Usually just a tiny square will satisfy me and I am pretty sure the antioxidents offset all calories making it practically a health food
October 9th, 2009 at 10:39 am
For me, eating an apple with a little cinnamon and sugar on it takes care of a sweet craving right away!
October 9th, 2009 at 10:50 am
Just tried Yo-plus this week thanks to the wonderful deal at safeway.
For sweet cravings ..a scoop of ice cream with fresh fruits.
October 9th, 2009 at 11:06 am
When I am craving something sweet instead of ice cream I’ll have lower calorie sorbet or italian ice. I also like fruit salad or just a piece of fruit. If I HAVE to have chocolate I’ll get some low cal hot cocoa.
October 9th, 2009 at 11:10 am
I love fresh strawberries with a healthy dallop of fat free cool whip on top.
October 9th, 2009 at 11:19 am
A little piece of chocolate can usually do it for me.
October 9th, 2009 at 11:22 am
Frozen grapes… or frozen light cool whip… yum yum!!!!
October 9th, 2009 at 11:26 am
My dessert from last year when I was trying to lose weight was vanilla yogurt with a few Nilla Wafers.
October 9th, 2009 at 11:27 am
My favorite dessert is icecream, there’s no way around it!! But i’ve learned to be moderate in my helpings and i think that’s key!
October 9th, 2009 at 11:40 am
I love putting frozen berries in a bowl and putting a dollop of light whipped topping on the top. It satisfies my need for frozen treats, the fruit has natural sugars, and it’s actually pretty good for you!
October 9th, 2009 at 11:42 am
My wife loves to eat Skinny Cow ice cream products. They taste like real ice cream, but they only have like 100 calories. She had a personal trainer for awhile, and he’d even let her eat those.
October 9th, 2009 at 11:43 am
I love getting jell-o sugarfree pudding and mixing fat free cool whip in. Yummo!
October 9th, 2009 at 12:11 pm
Smoothies with any fresh +/or frozen fruit and I add a yogurt and juice. Usually makes enough for the family. the yogurt makes it nice and creamy. I also sometimes have a small bowl of my kids cereal which might not be so healthy!
October 9th, 2009 at 12:40 pm
We pop popcorn on the stove in a pan with olive oil to control sugar cravings. Real popcorn is full of nutrients and popped in olive oil (no butter) is SOOO good.
October 9th, 2009 at 12:41 pm
If you say the honey vanilla tastes like McDonalds parfaits…I want to try it!
October 9th, 2009 at 12:42 pm
oops! I hit the wrong button and replied instead of commenting-sorry!
October 9th, 2009 at 12:47 pm
Favorite sweet snack – Frozen banana!
October 9th, 2009 at 1:09 pm
my quick healthy treat is popcorn. I’ve haven’t tried that kind yet but would love to try them too.
October 9th, 2009 at 2:06 pm
I like making low fat brownies. They taste great and you can’t even tell they are low fat.
Connie
October 9th, 2009 at 2:06 pm
I eat low fat ice cream or a piece of chocolate…it’s really hard to eat healthy late at night!
October 9th, 2009 at 2:19 pm
I usually eat a fruit or yogurt in the evening.
October 9th, 2009 at 2:30 pm
I love yogurt (especially Yo Plus) with sunflowers seeds or granola mixed in.
October 9th, 2009 at 2:44 pm
I love light kettle corn popcorn. I love vanilla yougurt the best.
October 9th, 2009 at 3:07 pm
Wow all these people have such unique ideas, to satisfy a sweet tooth. I’ll be honest, when I have a craving for something sweet I usually “force” my husband to make me sugar free, fat free chocolate fudge JELL-O!!!! and usually I add a bunch of SPLENDA just to make it that much more cancerous!!!!! Really not organic or healthy but mmmmmm I love tasting all of that man made sugar…AwEsOmE!!!
October 9th, 2009 at 3:09 pm
I have issues. I know.
October 9th, 2009 at 3:16 pm
Yogurt!
October 9th, 2009 at 3:17 pm
I try to keep grapes or fresh fruit around for snacking. I would love to try those yogurts.
October 9th, 2009 at 3:22 pm
I love popcorn at night and I love skinny cows.
October 9th, 2009 at 3:26 pm
Yay Yoplus!!! I like yogart as a sweet treat, and I love honey vanilla!!
October 9th, 2009 at 3:28 pm
ooops! I mean YOGURT!
October 9th, 2009 at 3:49 pm
I usually eat Jello sugar-free strawberry Jello but, would LOVE to try the Yoplus Yoghurt. I am a “bento box” making fanatic so…these little yoghurt snack sizes would be a GREAT addition. Hope I win!!
October 9th, 2009 at 4:04 pm
My favorite light dessert is Orange Sherbet. I would like to try the Strawberry Banana YoPlus.
October 9th, 2009 at 4:05 pm
I like to have some sugar free cherry jello with a small dollop of light whipped cream on top as my night time snack.
October 9th, 2009 at 4:16 pm
Our family loves to have strawberry shortcake. Light and yummy.
October 9th, 2009 at 4:20 pm
I’d love to try the key lime pie – yum!
October 9th, 2009 at 4:28 pm
Honey vanilla sounds yummy to try!
October 9th, 2009 at 4:29 pm
I find that an apple is the best way to curb my sweet tooth. Sometimes I have to eat a couple every day!
October 9th, 2009 at 4:54 pm
My favorite light dessert is strawberries with a little bit of fat free whipped cream!!!
October 9th, 2009 at 4:56 pm
I want to try Key Lime Pie!
October 9th, 2009 at 5:00 pm
I use decaf coffee with splenda to cure my night time cravings. Thanks.
October 9th, 2009 at 5:04 pm
I love fresh strawberries.
October 9th, 2009 at 5:08 pm
I would love to try the “Blueberrry Açaí”.
October 9th, 2009 at 5:34 pm
I would love to try key lime pie.Yummy!
October 9th, 2009 at 5:37 pm
Skinny Cow ice cream sandwiches are delish. That’s about as low calorie as I go for desserts
Go big or go home right…? :/
October 9th, 2009 at 6:00 pm
Key lime sounds to die for. I love it in regular so lite would make my day!
October 9th, 2009 at 6:19 pm
My favorite light dessert is the Jello sugar free pudding cups…. especially the Dulce de Leche. Ahhh.. so yummy!
October 9th, 2009 at 6:42 pm
I like apple with peanut butter or popcorn. Thanks for the giveaway!
October 9th, 2009 at 6:46 pm
I just had an orange creamsicle. Not necessarily the healthiest option, but not the worst either. My idea to add is that I try to brush my teeth after dinner to help change my mindset away from eating. Otherwise I am thinking about food all night long!
October 9th, 2009 at 7:01 pm
I’d love to try the key lime pie flavor. It has always been one of my favorites.
October 9th, 2009 at 7:06 pm
I like air-popped popcorn with salt or orange jell-o with mandarin oranges and light whipped cream! Those Skinny Cows are good too!!
October 9th, 2009 at 7:12 pm
I love Special K Blueberry cereal at night!
October 9th, 2009 at 7:36 pm
For a light late night snack I like fat free yogurt or cottage cheese with fresh fruit- pineapple, strawberries and blueberries are my favorite.
October 9th, 2009 at 7:42 pm
I’d like to try Key Lime Pie!
October 9th, 2009 at 7:44 pm
Dreyer’s frozen Fruit Bar – only 80 calories. My favorite is Strawberry.
October 9th, 2009 at 8:03 pm
I love whipped yogurts- the vanilla whipped yogurts taste like cheesecake!
October 9th, 2009 at 8:09 pm
I would like to try keylime flavour n the ear buds will benice for my mp3 player, the old one broke
October 9th, 2009 at 8:10 pm
You have mentioned that you frequent Costco…My favorite snack that is “healthy” are the Fudge Healthy Choice ice cream bars. They were only 100 Calories each and I think on Weight Watchers my friend told me they were between 0 – 1 point depending on which calculator she used. They also come out in their Costco coupon book fairly regularly so I try to stock up then.
October 9th, 2009 at 8:13 pm
Frozen Blueberries are delicious.
October 9th, 2009 at 8:13 pm
key lime pie – yummo thanks for the chance
October 9th, 2009 at 8:50 pm
Key lime pie is my fav. in other brands. Would love to try this kind!
October 9th, 2009 at 9:15 pm
Desserts are my weakness too – what a coincidence!
I am currently following weight watchers so eating yogurt daily is part of my attack plan. When I need something good, which means “chocolate”, I either have a ff jello cup or I make a light almond pound cake and slice it up (and freeze some) which is SO good and filling! I can drizzle w/ ff sf chocolate syrup for an added bonus. Thanks for the giveaway
October 9th, 2009 at 11:25 pm
I actually love orange sherbet. My grandmother was a weight watchers member for years,and sherbet was the one treat she gave me,so as an adult I still love it,and the memories it evokes.
October 10th, 2009 at 4:18 am
I absolutely love strawberries as my favorite healthy dessert.
October 10th, 2009 at 6:17 am
I too have a sweet tooth at night. I try to have a bag of marshmallows on hand and just eat 2 or 3. It seems to help and it isn’t too bad, right?
October 10th, 2009 at 6:33 am
I have found that a few chocolate chips will hit the spot and not send me to far off my diet.
October 10th, 2009 at 6:41 am
I just lost 40 lbs. and my favorite light sweet snack is Murray sugar free cookies. I think they taste great & they hardly have any sugar or calories. My favorite flavor is thin mint!
October 10th, 2009 at 6:42 am
I love Vitatop muffin tops but sometimes when I don’t want something heavy i like cucumber slice topped with a splash of red wine and vinegar and pepper. Not really dessert-like but still yummy.
October 10th, 2009 at 6:43 am
I forgot to tell you Raley’s/Bel Air have the Murray sugar free cookies on sale for $1.49 ea. if you buy 4. It’s a REALLY good deal since these cookies are normally priced at $2.49.
I haven’t tried any of the YoPlus Light, but would love to. I would like to try the strawberry flavor if I win though!!!
October 10th, 2009 at 9:50 am
ice cold watermelon.
October 10th, 2009 at 12:46 pm
Frozen yogurt is my favorite!
October 10th, 2009 at 12:49 pm
I do love yogurt, but somtimes I just have to have chocolate!
October 10th, 2009 at 4:04 pm
I love smoothies or just banana milk with a dash of cinnamon!
October 10th, 2009 at 4:21 pm
Lowfat Brownies for sure. I am a chocoholic and I eat half the pan by myself. Since this kind of cancels out the lowfatness, I still feel a LITTLE better knowing that, I got to eat half the pan instead of one high fat brownie. MMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
October 10th, 2009 at 4:29 pm
I would love to try the Honey Vanilla. I love yougurt. I like to have popcorn for a snack.
October 10th, 2009 at 6:28 pm
I love smoothies
October 10th, 2009 at 7:25 pm
pudding is a favorite at our house. with the sugar free pudding and fat free cool whip it is really low fat. plus we make them into pies alot too, and same thing!
October 10th, 2009 at 11:15 pm
Fruit or chocolate covered cranberries are my dessert of choice!
October 11th, 2009 at 8:00 am
Love Sugar Free jello when I want a snack but I have to admit I don’t have a huge sweet tooth so when I crave something I usually give in-usually a chocolate or too. Desserts really don’t tempt me. Now salsa and chips are a whole other issue
October 11th, 2009 at 8:59 am
Pudding parfaits are my favorite light treat! I make the pudding with skim milk and use fat free cool whip. Sometimes I add vanilla wafers to it as well.
October 11th, 2009 at 9:45 am
A few dark chocolate Kisses usually does the trick for me.
October 11th, 2009 at 11:59 am
I love key lime pie yoplait whips yogurt but I have to hide them in the crisper drawer so my kids won’t find them before I can eat them!
October 11th, 2009 at 12:20 pm
I would love to try out the Honey Vanilla. Yum.
October 11th, 2009 at 6:28 pm
I love Yoplait Light topped with my homemade granola. Delicious!
October 11th, 2009 at 6:45 pm
We eat lots of Quaker true delights at our house or the 100 calorie packs of microwave kettle korn!!
October 12th, 2009 at 5:44 am
i like light vanilla yoplus!
October 12th, 2009 at 5:50 am
i love to eat cereal anytime of the day/night! =)
October 12th, 2009 at 6:42 am
Our favorite treat at night is popcorn. We cook it on the stove. That always helps me with my treat cravings.
October 12th, 2009 at 8:29 am
I would like to try to Honey Vanilla flavor.
October 12th, 2009 at 10:20 am
sugar-free jello with whip cream
October 12th, 2009 at 11:04 am
A lot of the time I’ll just eat a piece of fruit and it usually works.
October 12th, 2009 at 11:06 am
I love to have a little popcorn or a yogurt…though I much prefer ice cream!
October 12th, 2009 at 1:06 pm
I am addicted to sweets! Lately, when my toddler sees me pour a glass of milk, he automatically says, “Cookies!” That’s how I knew I had a problem. So I’m trying to tone it down a little bit and have switched to graham crackers and milk Ü
P.S. Thanks for the great tip on how to score some cheap yogurt at Safeway!
