GIVEAWAY: Yoplait Yogurt & Nancy O'Dell Get Strong & Healthy Gift Bag

I am so excited to be hosting a wonderful giveaway by MyBlogSpark for Yoplait and Nancy O'Dell.

Here's some interesting information: Did you know that 76% of the population fall short of getting enough Vitamin D; and 72% of the population is not getting enough calcium in their diets? According to recent research, consuming calcium and vitamin D during childhood and adolescence can help reduce risk of fractures in adulthood.

Thankfully Yoplait comes to our rescue! And my kids and I LOVE it! We can have a healthy start to our day by eating Yoplait yogurt for breakfast, a quick snack between meals or even an after dinner "dessert". There are so many different flavors to choose from, tonight I bought one of my favorites: Pina Colada! My other faves is Vanilla and Pineapple. My kids love Strawberry-Banana, Strawberry, Peach...come to think of it, I don't think there is a flavor they don't like!

If you need another reason to eat Yoplait (besides the fact it just tastes plain good) each serving has 10-20% of your daily value of Vitamin D and is a tasty source of of calcium. Not only is it important to take in enough calcium and Vitamin D, but we need to strengthen our bones by exercise. My kids love going to the park and running and playing on the playground equipment. Since the weather is cooling down now, my husband and I have decided to pick up our walking at the park. It's so important for us to keep our bones healthy and strong and Yoplait can help!Yoplait Yogurt has teamed up with celebrity Nancy O'Dell to giveaway two (2) "Get Healthy & Strong" gift bags to two (2) readers.
