Yoplait Light Thick & Creamy Beats Diet Boredom With Low-Calorie, Delicious New Duo: Cherry Cobbler and Cinnamon Roll
TWICE AS NICE!
01/27/2009
MINNEAPOLIS – Savvy snackers: Defeat this season’s diet doldrums and discover Cherry Cobbler and Cinnamon Roll, two taste bud-tantalizing flavors from Yoplait® Light Thick & Creamy debuting in the dairy aisle this month. These 100-calorie, luscious and creamy options will make counting calories delicious in 2009 — a year when consumers cite losing weight and developing healthier eating habits as top New Year’s resolutions.*
“Now that the holidays are over and the new year is here, many of us have renewed our resolutions to get our eating habits back on track,” said Lisa Lillien, author of Hungry Girl: Recipes and Survival Strategies for Guilt-Free Eating in the Real World and the hungry-girl.com daily newsletter. “But snacking smarter doesn’t have to mean sacrificing taste! Seeking out delicious, little-known food finds like the new flavors from Yoplait Light Thick & Creamy will give you the taste you crave without the excessive calories.”
Consider this: a traditional slice of cherry cobbler averages 460 calories and 20 grams of fat.** With the signature thick and creamy texture and 100 fat-free calories in a 6 oz. cup, the new flavors provide a great dessert or snack alternative. In addition, each serving of Yoplait Light Thick & Creamy contains 20 percent of the recommended daily value of calcium and vitamin D – Yoplait is the only leading yogurt with calcium and vitamin D in every cup.
