Tested and Approved: Siggi's Skyr

Greek yogurt is all the craze these days, but what people have been overlooking is skyr. What is that you say? It is the traditional yogurt of Iceland that is made by incubating skim milk with live active cultures. This incredibly creamy and satisfying yogurt has 2-3 times the protein count of standard yogurt, which makes it a very healthy choice.

So onto my edible adventure. Josh was a fantastic house-husband this weekend and took it upon himself to go to the grocery store. He returned home with an unfamiliar yogurt -- Siggi's. The packaging was sleek and eco-friendly, which appealed to marketing-Lea and my general concern for the environment. We tried the vanilla flavor and to my surprise when we opened it I saw actual flecks of vanilla bean. Now, when have you seen that recently besides in your ice cream? Another point for Siggi's! The taste was just wonderful, not a hint of artificial flavoring. They actually only use milk from cows that are let out to pasture and are free of growth hormones. Ding ding! Oh yeah, and to sweeten they use agave nectar which has a favorable glycemic profile. Folks we have a winner!

I can't wait to try more of Siggi's products and I recommend you also hop on the bandwagon. Check out their website and read how this skyr came to life.
