Oikos Blended Greek Yogurt
What it is
This is a type of yogurt that has been strained to remove most of the whey, resulting in a thicker, creamier texture. It is then blended with fruit or other flavorings. The straining process concentrates the yogurt, giving it a distinct tang and a smooth mouthfeel. It is often enjoyed as a breakfast item or a snack. This particular product is made with milk and live and active cultures.
