Have a Morning Win with Oikos and belVita

April 26, 2014

I have partnered with belVita and Dannon to help promote the belVita and Dannon partnership. I have been compensated for my time and commitment to the program, which includes writing about the promotion and product. However, my opinions are entirely my own and I haven’t been paid to publish positive comments.

I used to be notorious for skipping breakfast.  I don’t take much time to get ready in the morning, so breakfast was usually passed over for some extra sleep.

Since learning more about this healthy lifestyle I want to model for my young kiddos, I’ve realized the importance of starting fueling my body in the morning.

With a 1 and 2 year old, I can’t say that I never find myself at 11am realizing I completely forgot breakfast, but I usually make a point of getting something in. My favorite are eggs, but I don’t always have time to make something while getting the kiddos ready and running out the door. I typically grab a protein bar, but look what Fitfluential turned me on to!

Dannon Oikos Nonfat Greek Yogurt and belVita are a great way to fit in a fantastic breakfast on the go. Not to mention, they are delicious!!

Surprisingly, I haven’t gotten on the Greek Yogurt train. I tried some once while pregnant with my daughter and I felt sick the rest of the day. Although, now that I think about it, I’m pretty sure that was the day I ended up with the flu. I digress… My point is, the Strawberry Dannon Oikos Nonfat Greek Yogurt is amazing!! The texture and taste make you feel like you’re having dessert for breakfast. My kiddos and I shared it in the parking lot while out shopping. They loved it!

The kids also loved my Chocolate belVita Crunchy Breakfast Biscuits. Luckily, there are more than enough in a pack to share. They are so easy to eat on the go. I was able to snack on mine while driving.

The 12g of protein of the Dannon Oikos Nonfat Greek Yogurt, along with the steady energy of the belVita Crunchy Breakfast Biscuits is enough to give you a great start to the day and keep you going. Even with the kiddos sharing, I know it got me through from 9am until nearly 2 before I could grab some lunch. Good enough for me!!

There are so many varieties of Dannon Oikos Nonfat Greet Yogurt as well as Crunchy belVita Breakfast Biscuits. I found the ones I picked up at Walmat, but I was completely stoked to find a big display of Crunchy belVita Breakfast Biscuits at Aldi. I love that place, and I love to find things there!

Yikes! I just realized how late it’s getting. My 2yo and I are leaving early tomorrow for Run or Dye. Can you guess what kind of breakfast I packed for us?

I’ll leave you some tips for making the most out of your mornings from Lauren Stack, The Productivity Pro:

  • The secret to a smooth, sane morning is doing as much as you can the night before.
  • Spend 20 minutes planning your daily to-do list the night before.
  • Start your morning with a delicious, balanced breakfast. The nutritious steady energy of belVita together with the 12g of protein in Dannon Oikos Nonfat Greek Yogurt and paired with a piece of fruit is a great way to get more out of your morning.
