My first taste of Siggi's yogurt was this summer when I attended Blogfest. Siggi himself came to speak to us about how he started making this amazing Icelandic style skyr out of his NYC apartment.
His story was so compelling, that I was super excited to try a sample of his yogurt.
I haven't stopped raving about it since that day! If you haven't tried Siggi's yogurt, try it!!! You will be so happy that you did!
What is skyr?
Skyr is the traditional yogurt of Iceland. It is made by incubating skim milk with live active cultures. The whey, the water naturally found in milk, is then strained away to make for a much thicker, creamier, concentrated yogurt. So to make just one cup of skyr, with all that water going out, you need 3 - 4 times the amount of milk required to make a regular cup of yogurt. As a result of this process skyr comes out with 2-3 times the protein count of standard yogurt.
Sounds awesome, right?
I ran 2.5 miles at the track yesterday (1/2 mile warm up + 2 mile run = first 2 mile continuous run since December!!) and as soon as I finished I inhaled a cup of this fantastic yogurt. Runners ---> perfect for a post workout snack!

From traditional flavors like blueberry, strawberry and raspberry to exotic flavors such as Lingonberry & Strawberry, Pumpkin & Spice and Pomegranate & Passion Fruit - there are a delicious selection of flavors to choose from...
My favorite flavors!!
I love the creamy texture and delicious flavors of this yogurt, with a lot less sugar! It makes me feel good knowing I can give my kiddos a cup of Siggi's and they aren't eating a ton of sugar. #win

My whole family is love with Siggi's yogurt! I had to snap a picture of Jerold enjoying a cup as a appetizer before dinner...
And now the moment we have all been waiting for!! Siggi's has generously offered to give one lucky reader, a MONTH's supply of yogurt! How awesome is that?!!!
Good luck!
