Yoplait is one easy way to get your protein
I have this theory, that if the kids eat more protein, they will whine less, sleep better, and be more relaxed. My kids don’t eat enough protein. Still, I’m teaching them what protein is, how much they should eat, and the wide variety of ways there is to find protein. For example, I just learned from the Yoplait Kids website, that if your child weighs 44 pounds, he needs 19g of protein per day. If you’re wondering, Yoplait Kids provides 5 grams of protein per cup of yogurt and 2 grams of protein per bottle of yogurt drink.
Yogurt is the one stand-by high-protein food I always have in the fridge so the kids can give themselves a quick burst of protein whenever they need one. Yogurt is such a great, easy convenient snack food for kids.
I just learned from the Parent Bloggers Network that Yoplait Kids yogurt contains 25% less sugar than other kids’ yogurts, and it contains that vital omega-3 DHA brain-power combination nutrients. DHA can be found in fish and eggs; but whenever I serve that, the kids run away. Now, serving those high-quality nutrients to my kids is as easy as dipping a spoon. Plus, yogurt contains live and active cultures to help kids maintain a healthy digestive tracks.
My kids are very picky about lumps in their yogurt; nor do they want their yogurt to be too watery. Yoplait Kids is creamy and thick enough to stick to the spoon without a dripping mess… and no mess.

I agree… .protein is so important.
Love the yogurt. My kids like it in their lunch everyday. Can’t wait for school to start again so I can start packing it!
I love brain quest… I didn’t know they had it for this age…
I had NO idea that protein was that important. I mean, I know that it’s important, but it will be interesting to see if your theory is correct. I’d like a little less whining….
My daughter LOVES Yo Baby organic whole milk yogurt, but I stopped buying it a few weeks ago when a 6-pack went up to $4.09. I think I will pick up some Yoplait the next time I go to the grocery!
