Unfortunately I've moved to a rural area where Whole Foods is over 100 miles away. I found your blog while searching for a recipe for the yummy Icelandic granola. Guess I will have to wing it. The other Icelandic product I would love to find: Sirius chocolate. The bar we bought was heavy as a gold brick and tasted gloriously decadent. I was sad when we divided up the last tiny bit. Nice pictures -- I forgot all about the nifty folding spoons. Two years ago I also tried granola and Skyr while staying in Iceland, and eagerly awaited seeing the yoghurt like concoction in stores.

I know that not all the Whole Foods carry skyr, but it's probably the best place to look first (they may be able to special order it from another Whole Foods). Good luck--- Mariah,

Every morning while in Iceland i had a vanilla skyr with granola and bananas. I fell in love with the yogurt and brought some home for my family to try and the also really enjoyed it. I think the vanilla skyr was thicker or heavier than the yogurt I usually find in the US and the vanilla was not as sweet as most of the US yogurts. I have not been able to find skyr in Minnesota and am going through withdrawls! Where did you purchase the skyr yogurt in the US? Does anyone know who carries it here in the US?

I just wanted to put my word in for the yogurt maker - I have been making yogurt for the last couple of years and love it! I started with an ebayed 70s Salton yogurt maker with milk glass cups, but after breaking a couple I got <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Salton-YM9-1-Quart-Yogurt-Maker/dp/B00004SUHY/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/103-6392326-6366210?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden&qid=1177425873&sr=8-1" rel="nofollow">this one</a> from amazon.com instead. I make granola too and it's such a good combo! I just found your post while googling skyr – I tried it for the first time last night.

This is Icelandic fast food, so fruits and sugar are sometimes stirred in; the product itself separates in the container and needs to be shaken before opening. I'm fond of the consistency and the taste of the vanilla flavor, although I'll be happier when the unflavored is available and I can stir in my own vanilla sugar. I have not tried the strawberry or blueberry flavors carried at Whole Foods (I don't generally like the jammy fruit filling at the bottom of yogurts); mostly, I'm trying not to overindulge, although with 17g of protein (about a third of the recommended daily allowance) this is a nice power breakfast or snack, especially for vegetarians.
