What it is
This is a thick and creamy yogurt made from nonfat milk. It has been strained to remove most of the whey, giving it a denser texture than regular yogurt. The flavor comes from a blend of mixed berries, which typically include strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries. It is a cultured dairy product, meaning it contains live and active cultures.
