Siggi's: Icelandic Style Skyr Strained Non-Fat Yogurt Tubes in Blueberry #Review
I've been fortunate enough to get to try a whole host of yogurts, Greek style, European style, Australian style...the list goes on and on. Some have been great. Some, not so much. A few are now in my regular rotation. Siggi's falls into that last category. You might not have heard of Siggi's, but you really should make a point of finding yourself some.
Siggi's is truly a different kind of yogurt. In fact, it called Icelandic Skyr, a protein-dense low sugar form of yogurt. Truthfully, they

had me at "low sugar". In the U.S.A., almost everything you can buy in the markets is salty or sweet. Overly so at that. Don't believe me? Take a look at almost everything in the middle of the market. Sometimes I think the FDA has revamped the 4 major food groups as salt, sugar, corn and soy. So when Siggi's skyr says it's not too sweet, I jumped in with both feet. It's got all the probiotics and active cultures of the best Greek-style yogurts, but the yogurt here is the star, not some syrup on the bottom or some packets of stuff in a sidecar either.
Here's another bone to pick: the tubed yogurt marketed mostly to kids is loaded with sugar. It's practically syrup itself . Yuck.
But not Siggi's. The yogurt you get in the cups is almost identical to the yogurt in the tube! Nice. And while it's not as thick as the cups, I'd assume to promote viscosity and ease of eating, it's not some runny mess either. Finally, something you and the kids can share, and not have them hopped up on a sugar rush later! I'm in love with a tubed yogurt? I am, and I have no shame admitting it. It's so good hubby made a tube or two a part of his morning breakfast routine.
I have tried only the blueberry tubes from Siggi's so far, but I'm a big enough fan that I have plans to immediately go and get the other flavor as well. You can also freeze them and have a healthy frozen yogurt treat!
This is a product unlike any on the market today in the U.S., and if you're like me a day you're fed up with all the sugar in everything, get some Siggi's today. You'll wonder how you ever ate yogurt any other way before.
