Yoplait Frozen Smoothies are blended drinks that combine frozen pre-packaged fruit and yogurt with milk. Yoplait Frozen Smoothies are moderate in calories and low in fat, making them an optimal snack choice. Reading the Nutrition Facts label tells you how many servings in one package of a Yoplait Frozen Smoothie, as well as the calories, vitamins and minerals you get per serving based on a 2,000-calorie diet.
Basic Information
Information from the manufacturer's website indicates that one 8.8-oz. serving of Yoplait Frozen Smoothie prepared with milk has 110 calories, 15 of which come from fat. One serving gives you 3 percent of your daily value, or DV, for total fat; 2 percent of your DV for cholesterol; and 3 percent of your DV for sodium. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, fat, cholesterol and sodium are nutrients to restrict in your diet. A DV of 5 percent of less indicates that the amount of these nutrients contained per serving is low.
Other Nutrition Facts
A serving of Yoplait Frozen Smoothie provides 5 g of protein. You'll get 6 percent of your DV for carbohydrates, including 8 percent of your DV for dietary fiber. You also get 30 percent of your DV for vitamin C; 15 percent of your DV for calcium; and 4 percent of your DV for vitamin A. Vitamins A and C and calcium, as well as iron, are nutrients that many Americans don't get enough of in their diets. A DV of 20 percent of more on the Nutrition Facts label indicates that your food is high in these nutrients.
Choices
As of August 2011, Yoplait Frozen Smoothies were available in four flavors: triple berry, strawberry banana, strawberry mango pineapple and blueberry pomegranate.
Tips
A healthy, 100-calorie snack sates your appetite between meals and prevents you from overeating when you sit down to the table, reports MayoClinic.com. If you're concerned about weight control, make sure to read the Nutrition Facts label to see what constitutes a serving. For example, each Yoplait Frozen Smoothie package contains two 110-calorie servings; consuming the entire package doubles the number of calories you add to your diet.
