Vanilla Low-Fat Yogurt
What it is
This is a low-fat yogurt flavored with vanilla. Yogurt is made by the bacterial fermentation of milk. The bacteria used to make yogurt are known as yogurt cultures. These cultures ferment lactose, the natural sugar found in milk, into lactic acid. This process gives yogurt its tangy flavor and thick texture. This particular yogurt is made with milk that has had most of its fat removed.
