Lowfat Layered Mexican Dip

As Sweet Mama's caregiver, I have had to come up with a way to give her medicine since she cannot swallow a pill! The best way I have found is to mix the liquid or powered capsule in plain yogurt. Red bought me a large container of Dannon Plain Yogurt and when I opened in I found this on the lid! It sounds so good I thought I would share!
