Store-bought yogurt often loses probiotics as it sits on shelves 🦠—but when you make your own, you’ll always know it’s fresh, alive, and full of good bacteria. 💚

Skyr is a traditional Icelandic-style yogurt that’s thick, creamy, and packed with protein. Although it’s technically a soft cheese, it looks and tastes like yogurt—mild, tangy, and rich. Skyr is typically made with skim or low-fat milk and cultured with beneficial probiotics, then strained to create its signature texture. You can use higher fat milks too! It’s a nourishing, gut-friendly food that’s been enjoyed in Iceland for over a thousand years. 🥣

Enjoy skyr yogurt for its unique blend of tradition, taste, texture, and exceptional nutritional value!
