(Fat free) yogurt is cheap, tasty, healthy, lasts a long time in the fridge, and requires no preparation and only one utensil.

In addition to budgeting time, budget mental energy. Cooking may take a bit of time, but it doesn't take much mental energy once you've done it a few times. If you have a bunch of chores to do, don't batch them up completely; batch them into chunks and use those chunks as mental breaks. Just because cleaning isn't fun, doesn't mean it is as mentally draining as learning mathematics. (Too punchy?)

How, if at all, does fatty yogurt differ?

the fat contains the fat soluble vitamins.

Ànd it's tastier, too (IMO, of course).

Health benefits a bit mixed, but it does make a quick breakfast.

Can you be more specific? I didn't do any research, it's just low sodium, high protein, high potassium.

Often times low fat is compensated by high sugar, and some argue that the saturated dairy fat isn't as bad for you as it is made out to be. I'd go for full fat yogurt with some nuts and berries thrown on top, but I understand the paleo view of sat fat is counter-establishment.

This is an excellent dessert.
