Skyr Drinks - High Protein

Skyr: everything you need to know about the protein-rich treat

What is skyr, or skyr for short? Originally from Iceland, skyr is made from skimmed milk and is legally classified as low-fat cream cheese in Germany. Due to its creamy consistency it is reminiscent of skyr yoghurt or skyr yogurt, but is higher in protein and lower in fat.

While yoghurt contains an average of 3-4 g of protein per 100 g, skyr scores with around 10-13 g - almost three times as much. This makes it a smart choice for anyone who simply wants to increase their protein intake.
