Many thanks to Yoplait for sponsoring today’s story and encouraging me to try Yoplait Greek 100 Whips!!
I love dessert! I have a HUGE sweet tooth, as I mentioned earlier this week. I’m also marathon training, so I’m hungry all.the.time. So, when I had the chance to try the Yoplait Greek 100 Whips!, I jumped on it. I already had a love for the Yoplait regular whipped yogurt, so getting that same texture but more protein sounded fabulous.
I wasn’t disappointed. The texture is creamy but airy and the flavor is fabulous. Yoplait Greek 100 Whips! are available in 8 great flavors, including Vanilla Cupcake, Strawberry Cheesecake, Lemon Meringue, and Raspberry. I was only able to find Black Cherry, Raspberry, Strawberry Cheesecake, and Blueberry. My favorite flavor so far is the Raspberry, but I really want to try the Lemon Meringue and the Vanilla Cupcake. Mmm, vanilla cupcakes…
Sorry, got sidetracked. Anyways, I have been eating these for my evening dessert each night. Because we eat dinner at 5:30 and I don’t go to bed until close to midnight, I need to eat around 8 or I’m starving before bed. These little babies are awesome because they come in 8 flavors and have only 100 calories with 0% fat, but 9 grams of protein. This would be perfect if I were not, in fact, run 30+ miles a week. So, I’ve been pumping up the Yoplait Greek 100 Whips! just a bit with some almond butter.
What? You’ve never put almond butter in your yogurt? You are totally missing out. (Of course, I think almond butter goes good with everything.)
Check out this little treat I made myself last night:
I used to eat peanut butter and jelly on graham crackers as a snack when I was younger, so I wanted to replicate that. I crumbled up a graham cracker, added the raspberry Whip, and topped with a dollop of almond butter and a black raspberry. It was sooo good. Not that I got to eat it all since a certain little boy decided he liked it and left me with a “plain” one.
Being forced to eat a Strawberry Cheesecake Whip? Not a hardship.

Vanilla Cupcake sounds super yummy! I’ve been eating lots of Greek yogurt too and the yoplait is my favorite brand. It does take away that craving for sweets.

I love the idea of PB&J yogurt! What a good idea. Especially the crushed graham crackers. I couldn’t find the vanilla cupcake in my store. So sad! I clicked thru on the links to check out the flavors and that coupon. 😉

I love these! My favorite flavors are the lemon and raspberry. Vanilla cupcake is good too. I haven’t tried any mix-ins though, I’ll need to get on that!
I NEED to find the Vanilla Cupcake. And the Lemon Meringue. Need.them.
Almond butter makes everything better! These look yummy – thanks for sharing!

Those look tasty! I totally put peanut butter in my yogurt and some cocoa. It tastes like cheesecake when you’re done.

I found them at Target and Safeway. So yummy!
I used to eat peanut butter and jelly on graham crackers growing up too! I had not ever thought about putting almond butter in yogurt. I’ll hafta try that! And LOL @ “Not a hardship.” The Strawberry Cheesecake is pretty good. 🙂

It looks kind of gross, but tastes really good! And for me, it helps balance the sugar.
That Strawberry Cheesecake yogurt sounds absolutely delicious! I might have to get my hands on a couple of these the next time I go to the grocery store.

I thought I was the only one who put a nut butter in my yogurt for dessert! I use a peanut.

We transitioned away from peanut butter this year, so now I add almond butter to everything.
These Greek Whips look great. I love the regular Whips too. Definitely a good dessert option!

query: i don’t like greek yogurt – will i hate these? because they sound delicious!
Courtney @ Eat Pray Run DC recently posted…Friday Five: My Week in Pictures
I don’t think it tastes like Greek yogurt. I only like 1 brand of non-whipped Greek yogurt. This tastes more like regular yogurt and I just love the fluffy texture.
Oh my word, there would be a battle royale in this house with those around. Dreamy!!

yum…this looks absolutely DELISH!!! I just recently bought some Danon Greek yogurt…I will definitely give these a try. I’ve never tired Almond butter but I think you’ve given me an idea to add peanut butter to my yogurt. lol…but then that may defeat my point of the yogurt…as a low point (weight watchers) snack. lol
