Sometimes the simple moments in your day deserve to be celebrated. Today I made it out to the grocery store with all three kids without a major meltdown. I say that warrants a little celebration! I like to indulge in a little cheesecake now and then, so I tried Yopa Greek yogurt in “Ooh-la-la! Strawberry Cheesecake” flavour.
Oh my. It was divine.
I’ve tried a lot of different brands and varieties of Greek yogurt, because I prefer the thick and creamy texture of it over regular yogurt, but I’ve noticed that it can be difficult to find a good fat-free Greek yogurt. The Greek yogurts with 0% fat don’t often have the same silky, creamy consistency of their full-fat counterparts. I’m very satisfied with Yopa! It’s thick, smooth and creamy, with just the right amount of sweetness. It’s hard to believe it’s fat-free and has only 80 calories per serving. Plus, with double the protein than regular yogurt, it sticks with you longer. There’s also no gelatin or artificial colours/flavours.
I went a step further with this cheesecake yogurt and turned it into crustless mini cheesecakes (or I guess that should that be “yogurt cakes”?).
They’re such a great guilt-free treat if you’re craving cheesecake but could do without the calories. My kids liked them too! I think they could be good with vanilla wafers at the bottom, if you were wanting a crust.
Baked Strawberry Cheesecake Greek Yogurt Cups
Ingredients:
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
2 cups Yopa! “Ooh-la-la Strawberry Cheesecake” Greek Yogurt
1 egg, lightly beaten
2 tbsp granulated sugar
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350F and line muffin tin with 12 liners (I used silicone liners).
- Combine ingredients in a bowl. Pour mixture evenly into muffin cups.
- Bake for 26-28 minutes, until yogurt has set.
- Allow to cool completely, then chill in refrigerator for several hours.
We also tried Yopa! yogurt in “Very Berry Lush!” flavour and my little whine critics enjoyed it, especially topped with granola and berries. There are so many fun flavours to choose from (like Lotta Pina Colada and Va-Va-Vanilla Bean) that I’m sure we’ll be heading back to the grocery store for more…which will require another celebration! Lucky me.

Well…today is my 16th wedding anniversary, so that warrants a food celebration, but I actually treat myself to greek yogurt almost every morning. That would be my everyday moment
Happy anniversary Marilyn!

I’m celebrating the fact that I went shopping for myself after 4 years on a tight budget.

Spending every day with such wonderful family and friends!
My everyday moments is with my children. From reading a story to fun bubble baths.
Thanks.
I quit smoking a month ago!
Most days we go for a walk as a family at one of the local walking trails. So far my hubby has lost 30 pounds since we started 8 weeks ago. Just finding the time for everyone to go and get it done daily is something to celebrate
Getting out of bed in the morning warrants a celebration! Doesn’t everyone want to just sleep all day?
Then celebrate by sitting in peace and quiet and enjoying a coffee once the kids are off is a celebration of it own.
Any time I let the world stop and appreciate the world through my toddlers eyes, back when things were simple, is still possible
Everyday warrants a celebration
I take care of my family, I have incredible kids, a wonderful husband. that should be celebrated 
My family’s health and happiness

I love that time after the kids go to bed.
Yes! Great job!
Do we have the same kids? lol!
Aaww, that’s so sweet.
That’s great! Home-cooked meals are the best.
Thank you!
Lol, that’s good to hear!
It’s nice having a little time to relax when you get home.
Yay!
Oh yes, that must be quite a challenge! I know getting one 4-year old out the door is hard enough for me.
That’s the best feeling!
Good luck!
I wish I could do that!
Ahh, I would love a full night sleep again!
Yes, waking up every morning is something to be grateful for!
Every breath and every new day is such a blessing!
Thanks!
Those special smiles are definitely worth celebrating!
Glad to hear he’s making progress!
I can only imagine!
I love watching my baby learn new things too,
That’s awesome! It’s so nice when they’re out of diapers.
That’s great!
Happy birthday to your son (I’m a little late, sorry!)
Definitely!
Good for you!
LOL. I don’t know, but I have 5 sons (3, 5, 6, 16, and 19) and none of them can seem to get along for long lol
I love that too!
Oh my, I don’t know how you do it!
Oh wow! Maybe it’s a boy thing. My boys are 5 and 7 and they fight constantly!
Just having all my family members healthy at the end of each day is reason to celebrate.
I think its definitely a boy thing, especially when they are close in age. My youngest 3 are all within 32 months. Yes, I had 3 kids in less than 3 years lol. Not sure if that means I am brave or just stupid LOL
When my kids do well on a test!
I just survived a Disneyland trip with a under 2 year old and 4 year old!
A great workout at the gym deserves a HEALTHY reward like YOPA!
Getting all of us (husband, self and 2 adult kids) together at one time for a sit-at-the-table meal deserves a celebration!
Do one thing on my to-do list
