Repose Amongst the Shuffle with Yopa!

Taking time to sit, relax and kick back is not really part of my agenda these days.
In between taking my daughter to and from school, caring for a very vigourous 12 month old, preparing meals, cleaning, running errands, blog posts, work and personal on-site reviews, oh and also making the time to have a quick lunch or coffee with a friend, ME time is always put on the back burner.

This is why those special times that I get to sit in a bubble bath or even just a nice warm shower uninterrupted or have a warm, fresh cup of coffee with a book or even a nice glass of wine catching with popcorn and chick flick calls for celebration.
Celebrations for me usually involve dessert (I'm a total dessert devotee) and recently I discovered a new delicious Greek Yogurt called Yopa! from Yoplait that includes decadent dessert-like flavours such as Ooh-la-la! Strawberry Cheesecake, Va-Va Vanilla Bean, Mmmm Mango Tango, Very Berry Lush! and Lotta Pina Colada.


Yum! How does one choose?

My grocery store runs usually include Yopa! 

The answer is simple, you don't choose and you bring all home! Which is what I did of course. 
And you want to know why I didn't feel the least bit guilty? Because there is only 80 calories per serving! 
Hooray to that! 
And each serving has double the protein than regular yogurt, no gelatin, artificial colours/flavours and 0% fat.

You're welcome.

I really enjoyed them all but my ultimate favourite is the Strawberry Cheesecake and the Mango Tango! I unfortunately could not find the Pina Colada one anywhere but I know it would probably be part of my ultimate faves considering I have a penchant for anything coconut.



I want to give my readers a chance to experience these ambrosial delights so I am giving away a Yopa! Prize Pack valued at $100.
That is a lot of deliciousness right there. Yopa!

Contest is open to Canada only.
Ends October 14, 2013.
