You know, I get quite a few emails from people and companies asking me to review their products. Many of them, I just won’t do because they don’t fit in with the theme of this site (seriously – as much as I would love to get the free $75 hand cream, this is a frugal site and agreeing to do those kinds of reviews would make me nothing more than a product whore)
But there is one company that I never mind doing reviews for….Yoplait. Wanna know why? Because I would be buying their products even if they didn’t ask me to try them! When they emailed me and asked me to try their new flavors, of course I said yes (I mean, seriously – I’m already pimping them in a magazine…why not some more on here?)!
So there are two new Yoplait Light Thick & Creamy flavors that just hit the store last week: Cherry Cobbler and Cinnamon Roll. Both are just 100 calories with 0 grams of fat!
Cherry Cobbler: A smooth, comforting mix of tangy cherries and sweet buttermilk biscuit topping
Cinnamon Roll: Indulgent and rich with swirls of cinnamon-sweet flavor
My impressions: Both were delicious, but the Cinnamon Roll was the big one for me. As I have mentioned before, I like to put yogurt in the freezer for about 2 hours and it is just like eating ice cream! I decided to try something a bit different with the Cinnamon Roll.
I chopped up an apple (I used a Granny Smith, but a McIntosh would work very well) and put it in the microwave for about a minute until the apple was hot & soft. Then I spooned the slightly frozen Cinnamon Roll yogurt over the top. YUM!!! It was like eating a baked apple with ice cream!

I think you have the right idea about reviewing and promoting only those products you feel good about. After all, that’s what makes the blogosphere so special – we can trust each other because it’s not all about money. We want to hear from people who become our friends – and that’s different from a corporate machine. I think people can sniff out bloggers who are true to their integrity, such as yours. Thanks!
that sounds like its to die for, yum. do you happen to know how much sugar is in each cup/serving? thanks
