About Icelandic yogurt

Icelandic yogurt, known as skyr, is a traditional dairy product from Iceland with origins dating back over 1,000 years. Made by straining nonfat or low-fat milk, it has a thick, creamy texture and a mild, tangy flavor. Skyr is rich in protein, often containing two to three times more per serving than regular yogurt, making it a popular choice for those seeking a satiating snack or post-workout fuel. It's also low in fat and packed with essential nutrients like calcium and probiotics, which support bone health and digestion. Often sweetened lightly or flavored with fruits, it remains a low-sugar option compared to many other yogurts. However, some flavored varieties may contain added sugars, so checking labels is key. Skyr is celebrated globally for its nutritious profile and has become a staple in healthy diets while remaining deeply rooted in Icelandic culinary traditions.
