About Skyr

Skyr is a traditional Icelandic dairy product with a creamy texture and tangy flavor, similar to yogurt but technically classified as cheese. Made from skim milk, it is low in fat yet incredibly high in protein, making it a popular choice for those seeking a nutritious, filling snack. Skyr is also rich in calcium, which supports bone health, and contains probiotics that promote gut health. Originating in Iceland over a thousand years ago, it has become a staple in Nordic cuisine. While generally healthy, flavored versions of skyr can contain added sugars, so opting for plain varieties and adding fresh fruit or natural sweeteners is a better choice. Its low-fat, high-protein profile fits well into balanced diets, making it ideal for post-workout recovery, breakfast, or even dessert when paired with wholesome toppings.
