Yogurt is a fermented dairy product that is packed with beneficial bacteria that aid in overall wellness. Food fortification is the process of enhancing food by adding additional nutritional ingredients. Yogurt fortification has been done in an inventive way to appeal to the customer for years, and yoghurt acts as an excellent carrier for the fortification process. Yogurt consumption has increased globally as people become more health conscious. So yoghurt fortification and improvisation are still in the works. By fortifying yoghurt with vitamins, minerals, fruits, vegetables, pulses, and other nutrients, it encourages consumption and improves health without compromising the Physico-chemical and sensory properties of yoghurt, which are comparable to standards and acceptable. In this review article different kind of fortified yogurt along with their properties and acceptability will be discussed.
