Healthy, because
The layered dish is a good alternative to cakes and sweet bars: The sponge cake provides the sweetness and light carbohydrates, fruits score with vitamin C, and the yogurt mixture provides easily-digestible protein.
Even smarter
This layered dish also tastes great with fresh apricots, melon, peach, mango, or raspberries. You can also bake the lady fingers yourself or replace them with butter biscuits and save some sugar.
