Have You Tried The New Activia Selects?! Your Favorite Yogurt Never Tasted So Good!

I don't know about any of you, but my family LOVES yogurt. The kids are big fans of children's varieties, while I love a thick and creamy Greek style yogurt. I'm also a big fan of grabbing some yogurt, some whole grain toast and some cheese for a quick and easy breakfast.

Why do I love yogurt so much? Well, other than being incredibly tasty, yogurt is rich in calcium and protein, which are essential nutrients. Yogurt is also quite filling, making it a sensible snack, even on the go! And if you stay full longer, you're a lot less likely to make poor eating decisions when hunger strikes.

I have tried Activia yogurt in the past, and really liked it. So when I was offered the opportunity to try their new line of yogurts, Activia Selects, I jumped at the chance. They've taken what everyone already loves about Activia and gave these yogurts a gourmet spin. With new varieties like parfaits with granola, smooth French, and thick and creamy Greek yogurts, what's not to love?!

I chose to review the Activia Selects Greek Style Yogurt in their mouthwatering Pomegranate Berry flavor. Yum! I am a big fan of pomegranates, so I was quite excited to see this tempting flavor combination offered in a thick, rich Greek style yogurt!

Notice how thick and creamy this looks!
Overall, I really liked the Activia Selects. This yogurt is very thick, ultra-creamy, and has a wonderfully balanced flavor. It is sweet with a slight tang to it, which I found very appealing. I even let my toddler try a spoonful, and she liked it, too! I look forward to trying some of their other varieties. Activia Selects have taken a favorite go-to family snack and made it over into a true flavor adventure!  I am most looking forward to trying the French! That will be next on my list!

Have you tried the new Activia Selects? What was your opinion? For anyone interested, I have a special offer below so you can taste the difference for yourself! This stuff is addictive, though, so don't say I didn't warn you!

I came to this blog thinking it would be about living green, organic and sustainably. This is absolutly the opposite. I can not believe you would let DANNON take over your blog and advertise their GMO, CHEMICAL LADEN "YOGURT". I'm sure these poor Cows are factory farmed and have awful living conditions. This stuff is in NO way Healthy. I will NEVER come back to this blog!!!!

I'm sorry you feel that way, Daisy. I feature a TON of green and organic products because I feel that making greener changes is essential for the well-being of families as well as for the environment.

At the same time, there are different levels of green living. I am not, and never claimed to be, living a 100% green life. I am making greener choices one day at a time. Hence the name "newly" crunchy. I cloth diaper, I buy organic clothing and toys for my family whenever possible, I use green household products, and I reuse anything I can to avoid waste.

Have I ever claimed to be vegan or vegetarian? No. I do eat meat and dairy, and will continue to do so. I applaud those who have vegan lifestyles, and I buy a lot of vegan friendly foods in addition to my meat, dairy, etc. I try and buy organic whenever possible. We have meatless meals quite often. Does that mean I should feel bad for cooking chicken for my family, or having yogurt(usually organic) for breakfast? I think not.

I would never criticize someone for choosing to go vegan, or support whatever causes they are passionate about. Therefore, I don't feel I should be criticized for liking yogurt. Or steaks. Or chicken. Or for not driving a Hybrid (yet). I make a lot of greener decisions for my family and will continue to do so. I much prefer organic, sustainable products. Does that mean I am going to stop eating yogurt, cheeses, or meat? Absolutely not.

I respect your apparent decision to not ingest animals or their by-products. More power to you. But I also feel it's totally wrong to lash out at someone who makes a different dietary choice than you do. We, as human beings, are omnivores. Have been since the beginning of time. Some of us choose to eat a strictly vegetarian diet, which is great. But that is a personal decision, and I would never tell someone else what they SHOULD or should not be eating.

I will continue to seek out organic and vegan friendly alternatives, as my family does enjoy them. They are much better than the alternatives, without a doubt. But I will still consume products, like yogurt, as part of a balanced diet. Yogurt is full of active cultures, calcium, and vitamins that are beneficial to one's body. There are even some wonderful, totally organic choices out there. So do I feel like I am wrong for eating yogurt? Absolutely not.

You can't make everyone happy all the time.
