Yogurt is a calcium powerhouse and a source of high-quality protein. Yogurt is an excellent source of vitamins and minerals for its calories rich because it is nutrient rich. Yogurt is a unique food because it is a cultured milk product, made by adding certain "friendly" or “good” bacteria called probiotics to milk, skim milk, and/or cream to produce a thicker and more textured product. Yogurt contains lower amounts of lactose than milk because the lactose in the milk used to make yogurt is converted to lactic acid by the bacterial cultures. Yogurt is also a very kid-friendly food. You can have children make fruit kebabs with vanilla yogurt dipping sauce for a quick and fun snack!
