Skyr Protein Drink: Five Flavors with 30 g of Protein per Bottle
The Skyr Protein Drink from LiveFresh brings Icelandic skyr in a ready-to-drink format: 250 ml per bottle, 30 g of protein⁵, no added sugar⁴, and preserved using high-pressure processing rather than heat¹. Skyr makes up about 45% of the recipe, with fruit puree and a hint of lemon juice added depending on the variety—or, in the case of the Ube Latte Style, coconut water and ube powder.
The original three varieties have now grown to five. In addition to blueberry, passion fruit, and cherry, there’s lemon and—as the latest creation—the Ube Latte Style, featuring the purple yam from Southeast Asia.
The five flavors at a glance
Want to try a few before you decide? The sample pack, containing 24 × 250 ml, combines several varieties. You can find the complete lineup in the Skyr Drinks – High Protein overview.
High in protein and low in carbohydrates⁶
30 g of protein per bottle is the core of the product. To put that in perspective: A conventional yogurt drink provides about 9 g of protein and 25 g of carbohydrates per 250 ml. The Skyr Protein Drink contains roughly three times as much protein with about half the carbohydrates⁶.
Protein contributes to an increase in muscle mass and helps maintain muscle mass.⁵ This makes the drink ideal for anyone who wants to meet their daily protein needs without having to mix powder or carry a shaker around.
No added sugar⁴
No sugar is added⁴. The sweetness comes from the fruit itself, rounded out with sucralose and steviol glycosides from stevia. The sugar listed in the nutrition facts comes from milk and skyr in the form of lactose, as well as from the fruit content.
What Else Is In It
All varieties contain a collagen hydrolysate blend. Since there are no approved health claims for collagen in the EU, we only list the amount: The Ube Latte Style contains 16.8 g per bottle.
One point we want to make clear: The collagen hydrolysate is derived from beef. The Skyr Protein Drinks are therefore not vegetarian.
When to drink it

- ✔ After your workout as a quick serving of protein that requires no preparation

- ✔ On the go, because the bottle is ready to drink and doesn’t require a shaker
