Skyr is Hyr!!!



Yup, one of my favorite foods from Iceland is here. The best description of skyr, a dairy product, is that it's kind of like a non-fat, thickened yogurt. In Iceland it's used like we would use yogurt and also in alot of desserts. When I visited I had it in little tubs with fruit, and at restaurants in desserts with chocolate, caramel and toffee. It reminded me of guilt-free cheesecake filling. Whole Foods stores have been talking about carrying it for the last month or so and I finally saw it yesterday. If you have a Whole Foods near you, give it a try. You can find it in the food-to-go section, made into little parfaits with berries, granola and plain and berry flavored skyr. Yummy!
