what on earth is the point of...

..."fruit at the bottom" yogurt!?

I bought a few Liberte yogurt tubs with FPCs and it's absolutely delicious, but I don't understand why it's not pre-mixed for you! I can kind of see it for the individual serving containers but for a 500g container, I just have to stir it as soon as I open it. And as far as I can see on the container it doesn't state that anywhere. Just don't make sense to me.

(oh, and if this was twitter I think this is where I'd put in #firstworldproblems)

I have no idea why they have fruit at the bottom yogurt. When I was a kid, I would just eat the top and throw it out when I got to the sugary fruit at the bottom. You're supposed to stir yogurt anyway since it separates, similar to oil and vinegar salad dressing. My only idea is that you encourage your kids to stir it if the fruit is at the bottom, whereas the mixed in fruit might not encourage the kids to stir it before eating.

I like the fruit at the bottom as I don't like my yogurt too sweet, and this way I don't stir in as much fruit as they provide. Yummy!

Maybe it has something to do with maintaining the proper texture before getting to the consumer? I know that when I stir up yogurt in the container, it releases the water and then it needs more stirring prior to eating. When you first open up the pre-stirred yogurts, it's usually pretty runny already. It doesn't bother me too much, I just want good-tasting yogurt.

LOL -- I on the other hand LOVE the bottom of fruit and will dig down to get a good spoonful before mixing my yogurt (If I mix it at all LOL)

I guess I am just too used to my regular single portion cups that are premixed and don't separate too much

OP, they should put "fruit on the bottom" somewhere on the label, so people know.

I think you are right.
Liberte's website says they have not additives so this yogurt would separate if they have no additives.

I don't mix my yogurt and prefer the fruit bottom over the stirred.

I also prefer the fruit on the bottom... I don't like the stirred stuff

i hate the fruit bottom yogurts, I find them way too sweet!

[misstarbender]

I shake them before I open them up. then its all mixed together and no pesky stirring to ruin my day!!
