Our take

CleanPlate review

Milk, milk solids and cultures, with 11 g protein

Milky Mist Skyr is a thick, strained yogurt made from pasteurised milk, skimmed milk, milk solids and live cultures. It has no sugar, flavour or stabiliser added.

CleanPlate scores it AA1. The A for nutrition reflects 11 g protein per 100 g; vitamin B2 and vitamin B12 are estimated from reference values and marked as not on the pack. The A for ingredients reflects whole or lightly processed ingredients (led by pasteurised milk and pasteurized skimmed milk), and almost no additives. The 1 for risk is low: sodium, free sugar and saturated fat are all modest (sodium 144 mg, free sugar 0 g, saturated fat 1.3 g per 100 g).

Common misconceptions

Myth: "Skyr is just Greek yogurt"

Both are strained; skyr is usually thicker and higher in protein per spoon.

Myth: "Only flavoured yogurt is tasty"

Plain skyr with fruit or honey added at the table gives you control of the sugar.
