Dannon Light & Fit Tiramisu Flavored Greek Yogurt Helps Me Fight The Urge To Splurge–#IHeartTiramisu

“I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for Dannon. I received product samples to facilitate my review as well as a promotional item to thank me for my participation. All views and opinions are my own, and do not necessarily represent those of Dannon.”

I have to admit, I have a sweet tooth, maybe a couple of them. I often find myself craving a sweet dessert or late night snack and I don’t want to be eating something laden with sugar and calories late at night. I recently discovered Dannon® Light & Fit® Tiramisu Flavored Greek nonfat yogurt and it’s full of all the creamy, sweet, delicious flavor I am craving and none of the guilt. This custard like yogurt has only 80 calories and it great for breakfast, lunch and snacks. Anytime you need a little something sweet but don’t want to sideline your diet with a massive intake of empty calories, Dannon® Light & Fit® Tiramisu Flavored Greek nonfat yogurt is the answer.

I have been eating this dessert flavor yogurt for breakfast and snacks and I am enjoying the satisfying, rich flavor without feeling bad or beating myself up for consuming loads of sugar or calories. This yogurt leaves me feeling full and gives me the energy I need with 12 grams of protein to keep going through my busy day.

I love that it only has 80 calories and 0% fat in each 5.3 oz container. For the times you are craving something sweet or heading toward less healthy snacks,Dannon® Light & Fit® Tiramisu Flavored Greek nonfat yogurt can help you fight the urge to splurge on empty calories.

It really leaves me satisfied not like I’m missing something, in fact, it’s just the opposite, I feel like I should feel guilty, but I don’t have to! Dannon® Light & Fit® Tiramisu Flavored Greek nonfat yogurt makes it deliciously easy for me to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Are You Having Trouble Achieving & Maintaining Balance In Your Life?

I’m really excited to let you know about The Balance Project! Did you know that research has shown that 98% of Americans believe that reaching and maintaining a balance in their lives is important but only 14% say they always feel balanced. That’s a huge gap! Balance Bar Company wants to help fill that gap and so the makers of Balance Bar, a uniquely balanced energy nutrition bar, launched The Balance Project. The Balance Project is a multi-year, multi-platform program that is designed to open a dialogue that will help improve America’s level of balance.

The Balance Project is an online hub to share ideas, day-to-day victories and challenges while having fun and joining others on a journey to sustain balance. Did you know that research shows the most common ways Americans try to achieve balance is by keeping their finances in order and through activities that improve overall health like getting more/enough sleep, eating healthy, and exercising regularly.

Despite this, 2 in 5 Americans believe it’s difficult to find balance. Gabrielle Reece is the exclusive guide of The Balance Project. Gabrielle, a worldwide fitness and wellness role mode, entrepreneur, wife and mom of three, will provide tips, advice and personal insights for addressing and achieving balance in these areas. Visit project.balance.com for Gabby Reece’s tips & videos on staying balanced.

“One the biggest reasons I see people fail at achieving their health and wellness goals is because they don’t go into a program with a balanced approach,” explains Reece. “I’m thrilled to share my perspective on balancing busy lives, families and work with healthy diet and exercise habits that anyone can incorporate into their lives.”

Balancing Act
Balance is a very fluid goal, as our levels of balance are always fluctuating, even day-to-day and season-to-season. For example, Americans report being the most balanced on Saturdays, and the least balanced on Mondays. They also indicate that they are most balanced during the summer months, and least balanced during the winter months, when 61% of Americans report feeling unbalanced.

Gender Wars
According to the survey, 70% of male respondents indicate that they are more likely to feel balanced, while only 63% of women indicate the same. What are men doing differently? Staying calm. When looking for balance, ladies should take the idea of “don’t sweat the small stuff” to heart. In nearly every area tested, women are more likely than men to admit something has a significant impact on throwing them off-balance, including finances, sleep, health, and family.

Maternal Instinct
A mother’s work is never done, but at least she knows where to focus her attention to find balance. Nearly every single mom agrees that health (99%) and family and personal relationships (99%) are important to achieving balance in life. How can the busy mom get to a Zen state of balance? For starters, get outside. Enjoying nature (67%) and taking vacations (66%) are the top actions that have a significant impact on achieving balance for moms. Spending time with a significant other (63%) was revealed as the next most impactful way for moms to try to achieve balance.

This is a sponsored post and I received product as part of a collaboration with Balance Bar. As always my words and views are 100% my own.

*This study was conducted by KRC Research via an online survey of 1,002 American adults ages 18-64 from November 11-14, 2014.

Contigo AUTOSEAL® Madison Water Bottle – 24 oz, Review & Giveaway!!! {Giveaway Ended}

Recently, I was sent a green Contigo AUTOSEAL Madison 24 oz. Water Bottle. When my four-year-old saw it, he declared it his, because it was his favorite color. As we were heading out the door to his soccer game, I happily obliged. Filling it with fresh ice and water, it took me just a few seconds to show him how to push the button on the back of the lid, so he could drink from it. He thought that was pretty cool, and it was easy for him to handle. He showed it to all his team mates and we have been using it ever since. He even likes to use it at home. This bottle has an excellent seal that guarantees no leaks. I have thrown the bottle in my diaper bag and it has been flipped around and no leaks. The size is great and the quality is excellent. Comes in great colors, so you are sure to find your favorite. One of the things I really like, is that Contigo only makes BPA-Free Bottles.
