In spite of busy schedules, many on-the-go Americans are constantly striving to lead healthier and more balanced lives. Now, it's even easier to be proactive about your nutrition with the help of newly reformulated Yoplait YoPlus yogurt.
 
YoPlus now provides three important health benefits in each four-oz. cup:

YoPlus is available in six delicious flavors including Strawberry, Vanilla, Cherry, Peach, Blackberry Pomegranate and Blueberry Acai.
If you are looking for all the great health benefits of YoPlus with even fewer calories, YoPlus Light is the perfect solution, with one third fewer calories than the original. YoPlus Light is available in three delicious flavors - Honey Vanilla, Strawberry Banana, and Key Lime - all with just 70 calories per cup.
 
My Review
Thanks to Yoplait and MyBlogSpark, I was given the opportunity to try Yoplus.  They sent me a coupon for a free package of Yoplus, a gift pack, product information, and additional gift pack to give away (more about this below!) 
I tried the Blackberry Pomegranate flavor.  I eat yogurt and fruit for breakfast quite often, as it's an easy meal to have at the office, while working at my desk.  Most of the time I mix some plain yogurt with fruit and a small amount of  honey, and put it in a container to take with me.  The individual serving-sized package of Yoplus was convenient to stash in my bag on my way out the door. 
The flavor of the Yoplus was fruity, although it was a bit sweet for my taste.  The texture was smooth, and I didn't detect any grittiness from the added fiber.  I couldn't even tell it was in there!  Although I'll probably stick with my plain yogurt with fruit most of the time, I may have to keep a stash of Yoplus in the fridge for those days when I'm in a bit of a hurry, and need something I can grab on the go.
