“A nutritious smoothie can be hard to find and even harder to make”

Smoothies are a great way to fit in essential vitamins and minerals needed every day for good health, but commercial smoothies are often calorie and sugar laden, and making a smoothie at home can be a real chore. Yoplait Frozen Fruit and Yogurt Smoothies offer a convenient, fast way to make a nutritious smoothie at home.

The Smoothie You’ve Been Waiting For

Each Yoplait smoothie contains a full serving of fruit as well as real Yoplait yogurt pieces with Live & Active cultures. Yoplait smoothies contain an excellent source of the antioxidant vitamin C, which can help keep your body healthy. Antioxidants protect cells against the effects of free radicals.

You get a fast, delicious smoothie you’ll feel great about drinking.”

A good source of calcium, Yoplait yogurt combined with milk makes Yoplait Frozen Fruit and Yogurt Smoothies the perfect way to fit in essential nutrients no matter how busy life gets.
