During my travels over the last few weeks, I had my fill of restaurant food. For 12 days straight, breakfast, lunch, and dinner, consumed in a place other than my home sweet home. I know there are many people that would consider this a luxury, but eating out all of the time can get old fast. By my 6th day on the road, all I wanted for breakfast was a Greek yogurt, something I was used to having every week, if not every day at home. However, in our staff lounge, the convention center only provided “regular” yogurt. No matter how much I begged, pleaded, and flirted with our lounge staff, no one could seem to find a Greek yogurt within two miles. Sad, but true.
Little did I know what was waiting for me when I arrived home one week later.
While away, Scott called to tell me that I received several packages in the mail, one being a perishable package. Lucky for me, I arrived home to find a dozen perfect cartons of Siggi’s yogurt! Now I know Siggi’s is not “Greek” yogurt per se, but after tasting it for the first time that night, I can honestly say it is VERY similar to Greek yogurt, and maybe even better! Gasp!
Siggi’s yogurt is a type of skyr yogurt – the traditional yogurt of Iceland. It’s similar to Greek yogurt in that it is much thicker than regular yogurt because it’s strained several times. Because of the straining process, it has a significant amount of protein. But, unlike most Greek yogurt brands, Siggi’s skyr is comes in several flavors, including vanilla, grapefruit, blueberry, orange, acai, and more. Plus, Siggi’s is fat free and only flavored with real agave nectar – no sugar or artificial sweeteners.
So how does it taste? I have to admit, the vanilla and blueberry Siggi’s hold their own against any Greek yogurt I’ve tried, but the orange flavor is more of an acquired taste.
Although I am still partial to my Greek yogurt (oh how I still miss you!), Siggi’s is really giving Greek yogurt a run for it’s money.
This sounds like a great alternative. I am gonna have to ask the local store to bring it in. Thanks
maybe the one i tried specifically was bad, but i couldn’t eat it… i can eat the chobanis just fine, but i tried one siggis and one bite was enough to turn me off to it completely. :/
Oh Suki, that’s too bad! I really liked the vanilla flavor, but then again, I like vanilla anything. Maybe give that one a try and see what you think. 🙂
Seriously – traveling can be so hard! I’m on the home stretch of a 3 trip bit and have been trying to eat, move, rest while on the road. It’s been tricky, but it’s amazing how much better I feel. Thanks for sharing!
