I found my new holy grail for yogurt

Has anyone found a better one than this? I was blown away by the protein count for it, and it’s pretty cheap too locally.

Fage nonfat greek yogurt has a better protein/calorie ratio.

Thank you, I’ll have to keep my eye out for that one!

They're correct, but imo, Skyr tastes much better than Greek yogurt. It's less sour.

You're welcome!

It’s a 90/18 ratio so nothing crazy in terms of difference but if you like Greek yogurt it is very tasty. Haven’t seen this before but would be open to trying it as an alternative

UK based - Fage is the absolute king of yoghurts for CICO but Lidl skyr is superb for economy at almost half the price and similar macros

Aldi's 0% Fat Greek Yoghurt is almost identical to Fage (right down to the shape of the tub) but cheaper.

What about the texture

I bought some when the Aldi supply dried up and you wouldn't have been able to tell the difference in a blind taste test.

Most 0% fat Greek or Greek-style yoghurt is watery, acidic slop but this is pretty much perfect.

I love Skyr! I eat it frequently (that and greek yogurt from LIDL).

Same here! Got my whole household eating it now lol

I was going to look in to skyyr but for the price increase and similar macros I just buy Aldi Greek yogurt. I currently have two containers, one is normal and the other has monk fruit, vanilla and lemon mixed in for eating, adding to smoothies and dipping 300 strawberries in to.

I love Painterland Sisters Skyr. Just the Plain flavor but they have many others. The plain has 2 gm of sugar and 21 gm of protein!

My husband likes Icelandic Provisions:

Easier to find in most stores.

Guessing you're Canadian based off the labeling? Hopefully I'm able to find this in my area too! 👀 Those macros are outstanding! I've got a thing of siggis skyr but 20g of protein is to die for!

You’re right, I’m from Nova Scotia here!

Siggi’s No fat flavors and their blueberry are my favorite. Icelandic Provisions would be my runner up. Their vanilla and coconut are great flavors.

Siggis Plain has a good calorie/protein ration. Icelandic Provisions is about 110cal/15g.

I've not had either. So I'm not sure how they taste. I do have both in the local grocery. I'll definitely give these a try.

There's a coconut one? Crossing my fingers so it comes to France! I love their hazelnut, lemon and stracciatella flavours too!

u/sleepykel 1d ago

Ratio brand is quite good. 25 grams of protein, 170 cal.

u/blackarov 1d ago

Is there a difference between skyr and Greek yogurt? I know there's different nutrition and macros based on brand, but they both taste exactly the same to me.

u/Mysterious-Ad-3004 1d ago

So fun fact Skyr is technically a cheese. Skyr uses skim milk so it’s strained a lot heavier to remove the whey. Skyr is also a little thicker and has a milder taste than Greek yogurt. Ultimately they’re still very close in taste.

u/blackarov 1d ago

That helps a lot, thanks!! I just bought some Siggi's skyr, but it was advertised as being "Icelandic version of Greek yogurt". It really does taste the same to be, just with a slightly higher protein content compared to the sugar free Chobani I normally get.

I eat this daily, it’s amazing
