If you haven’t tried siggis yet – get up and immediately go buy it! The Icelandic “Skyr” is a thick and creamy yogurt that is high in protein and has a great flavor. Siggis is B.Komplete Approved because the flavored varieties are still lower in added sugar. It’s the perfect breakfast or snack to take with you during the summer!
