Skyr Scores

Skyr

Skyr looks and tastes like yogurt, but it's actually a non-fat fresh cheese from Iceland. The ultra-thick consistency bears a particular resemblance to Total, the strained Greek yogurt. Each six ounce container packs a walloping 16 grams of protein. While plain Skyr was a bit pasty for my taste, I liked the vanilla version, which was lightly sweetened and studded with bits of real vanilla bean. $1.69 at my local Whole Foods.

Hallelujah! Skyr has finally made it to the states. While working in Iceland a few years back, I discovered that skyr made for a great breakfast... give strawberry or blueberry a try.
