Skyr - more protein than greek yogurt
On Yahoo today they had an article about new superfoods. Skyr is one that they talked about.
From yahoo: "This Icelandic yogurt is technically a soft cheese, but its texture and nutrients are similar to Greek yogurt, and it includes the same basic ingredients: skim milk and live active cultures. Skyr is made using a centuries-old straining processes that removes the whey (liquid), which makes it creamy and thick (stick a spoon in it and turn it upside down – it won’t fall out!) without providing any fat. A single 6 oz container of plain, nonfat packs 17 g of protein compared to about 15 g in Greek and 8 g in traditional yogurt."
Has anyone tried this?? I looked online to try to find any places that have this. Whole foods apparently carries some. For 6 oz plain: 110 calories/0 fat/6 carbs/22 protein
Looks interesting. I love greek yogurt, so I would consider eating this if I ran across any. Let me know if anyone has had this before.

I love Skyr, and Whole Foods sell another good Icelandic yogurt, too, called Siggi's. They're both quite tart and thick, a lot like Greek yogurt.
Fruit flavored Skyr is the lowest sugar flavored yogurt I've come across that doesn't also have artifical sweeteners.
The only negative I can think of is the price!
