Strawberry Icelandic Style Nonfat Yogurt
What it is
This is a thick, creamy, and tangy yogurt made in the style of Icelandic skyr. It is nonfat, meaning it contains no butterfat. The yogurt is flavored with real strawberries, offering a balance of tartness from the yogurt and sweetness from the fruit. It is a cultured dairy product, which means it has undergone fermentation.

People often eat this yogurt on its own as a satisfying snack or a light breakfast. It pairs well with granola, fresh fruit, or a drizzle of honey.
