What it is

The lowfat designation means it contains a reduced amount of milk fat compared to whole milk yogurt. It is often sweetened and flavored with various fruit purees or other additions, making it a popular choice for a quick snack or a light dessert. The blending process ensures a consistent texture throughout the container.
