Sidehill Yogurt Vanilla Lowfat

Sidehill Yogurt Vanilla Lowfat is a single-flavor, lowfat yogurt, and vanilla is the only flavor named in its details. Yogurts in this style usually have a mild tang with a rounded, creamy vanilla sweetness that sits between plain and dessert-style. Lowfat versions tend to taste lighter and slightly tangier than whole-milk ones, with a smooth, spoonable texture. Check the container for the exact texture, sweetness and ingredients, since those details aren't listed here. Serve it straight from the refrigerator. Cold is how vanilla yogurt is meant to be eaten, because chilling keeps the tang crisp and the texture set. A small bowl is the simplest choice. For layered parfaits, use a tall clear glass so the layers show. Vanilla yogurt works as a base for toppings. Granola adds crunch against the creamy texture. Sliced banana, berries, peaches or apple go well with the vanilla, and a spoonful of nut butter or a scatter of chopped nuts makes it more filling. For a quick parfait, alternate yogurt, fruit and granola in a glass, and add the granola last so it stays crisp. It also works in cooking and baking. Stir it into oatmeal after cooking for a creamier bowl, or blend it with frozen fruit for a smoothie. It can stand in for part of the sour cream or buttermilk in pancake and muffin batters, where the acidity helps keep the crumb tender. Mixed with a little lemon zest, it makes a light dip for fruit. Once opened, keep the container sealed and refrigerated, and follow the date and storage guidance printed on the package.
