Talk about how well product placement works

Mr. Potts and I watch The Biggest Loser - sidenote: who here won't raise their hand & agree that they're happy Melissa is gone? We cheered when she was the one to leave this past week!

We DVR the show since I'm usually out of town & we've both gotten so involved in it. We always laugh and fast forward through the product placement that inevitably is there.

I mean, chewing gum to make sure you don't overeat? Not gonna happen.

One show, however, had a product placement that stuck with me.

The Yoplait Frozen Smoothies were shown as a great alternative to snacks & high calorie/fat treats.

I'll admit, I was a bit interested.

I used to love the smoothies from Smoothie King. That was until I checked out calorie count. Most of their small smoothies constitute a full meal & for me, that wasn't the case. They were good, but I never looked at them as just lunch.

Sunday while we were doing a bit of early grocery shopping I thought about the Yoplait frozen smoothies & decided to pick up a package so that Mr. Potts & I could try them.

Note: None of my thoughts of doing this or writing about this were due to sponsorship or payment.

I made the smoothies for us after a long afternoon walk with Hayden.

And you know what? We both liked them!

So, if you like smoothies & are looking for an alternative to super size/super calorie ones, I'd recommend these.

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!
