Fruit on the Bottom Nonfat Greek Yogurt
What it is
This is a nonfat Greek yogurt with a layer of fruit on the bottom. Greek yogurt is strained to remove most of the whey, resulting in a thicker, creamier texture than regular yogurt. The nonfat variety contains no added fat. The fruit layer typically consists of sweetened fruit preserves or pieces, adding a distinct flavor and sweetness to the tangy yogurt base. It is a ready-to-eat dairy product.

Some people enjoy layering it with granola or fresh fruit for added texture and flavor.
How it differs from similar foods
