Icelandic Provisions: The Skyr You Need in Your Next Grocery Haul

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at Wisconsin chapter.

The grocery aisle is filled with different yogurt options, but you can save yourself the time by just picking up Icelandic Provisions Skyr. Skyr is like yogurt, except that it contains a lot more milk, which results in a thicker product. Skyr has less sugar, more protein, and bolder flavor than your average yogurt and is truly a healthy snack alternative. 

The Taste  

Even though it has the same amount of sugar as other Skyr varieties, Icelandic Provisions has a stronger flavor. I have tried every flavor, and my favorites have to be coconut (which has real coconut flakes) and raspberry. 

Health Benefits  of Icelandic Provisions

Even though Icelandic Provisions is low in calories, it is loaded with protein. All of the Icelandic Provisions flavored Skyr have 15g of protein, and the plain has 17g. This high protein content will help keep you satisfied throughout the day. Skyr also has lots of calcium to keep those bones strong
