YoCrunch Fruit Parfait (Giveaway)

As a Mom I am happy that my kids love to eat fruits, veggies, yogurt and opt for water over soda. Kids will be kids and will sometimes indulge in foods and beverages that are not always the best choice. I am OK with that because I know that the majority of the time my kids eat well.

When my children were little I started them off on fruits, veggies and yogurt so that they would have an acquired taste for them when they got older. It must have worked because I have two kids that love broccoli, chickpeas, salads and some times spinach (depends on how I make it). They also LOVE yogurt. My son especially eats a yogurt every day. He would eat several  a day is we let him. He loves yogurt.

YoCrunch is one of my kid’s most favorite yogurts. They love the tasty toppings that come with them. Their favorite is the M&M topping followed by the Oreo topping. Personally I like the granola topping the best. We stock up on them when they go on sale.

Breyers Yogurt Company, the makers of YoCrunch,  recently launched a new kind of yogurt called YoCrunch Fruit Parfait. Its the first layered fruit, yogurt and granola parfait which will be hitting the shelves of your local grocery store any day now (if it hasn’t already). 

As you may know, McDonald’s, Panera Bread and others have popularized parfaits. I have never had one from Paneras but I have had them from McDonald’s and they are really good! Now YoCrunch makes it possible to enjoy parfaits in the convenience of your home.  At only 120 calories per serving, the YoCrunch parfait is lower in calories than many of its competitors, including McDonald’s and Panera Bread. These are ideal for breakfast, as an afternoon snack or even a  late-night sweet treat without the guilt. 

YoCrunch Fruit Parfaits are available in three classic fruit flavors,  strawberry, blueberry and peach. They retail for around $2.89 for each four-pack container, and can be found at leading grocery stores nationwide.

Me and my kids were lucky to be sent a sample of the strawberry YoCrunch Parfaits. You can really see the way the fruit and yogurt is layered. I tried to capture a picture of of it.

Notice the strawberry peeking out from the bottom?

After you open up the yogurt parfait you can add the granola which is packaged separately to keep it from getting soggy. All you have to do is top off the parfait and enjoy!

Me and my kids each enjoyed a parfait. Or shall I say my kids practically inhaled them. LOL!

I found the parfait to be very tasty with just the right amount of strawberry. I actually would have liked to have seen more chunks of strawberries, but it was still very delicious. It was a nice snack that just “hit the spot”. This would be ideal to give to my kids when they get home from school to hold them over until dinner time. At only 120 calories and a good source of calcium and active live cultures this is a snack I would be happy for my kids to indulge in. Its certainly a million times better then cookies, candy and chips.

My only “complaint” is that the containers are small. My kids finished them off in a matter of two minutes each, if that. I personally took my time but my kids were done with them in the blink of an eye. I wish they were available in the same size container as their YoCrunch yogurt. That would be nice!

If you are a fruit and yogurt parfait fan then you will certainly want to check out the new YoCrunch Fruit Parfaits available at your nearest grocery store in the yogurt section.
