| Siggi's Icelandic-styled Skyr Yogurt comes in 14 low sugar, zero fat flavors. |
Why Add Yogurt to Your Training Table?
Consumption of low-fat dairy products in general has been shown to increase the amount of fat excreted in the feces of study participants. This means that you can run leaner and meaner using dairy based proteins and their by products such as whey. Not only that but low-fat or non-fat dairy products give you calcium, protein and B vitamins for energy. Siggi's does this one better with their zero milk fat strained fruit yogurt which offers only 11 grams of sugar, but a whopping 14 grams of protein and only 110 calories per serving. The milk used in their Skyr comes from grass fed cows who are not injected with Bovine Growth Hormone. Live beneficial cultures help keep your digestive system in sync.

| Each 5.3 oz cup of Siggi's has 14 grams of protein which is about 28% of your daily allowance. |
Surprisingly rich! Siggi's Skyr has a texture nearer to sour cream but of course sweeter with the addition of fruit. It has a very pure, clean taste, with no added gelatin, artificial colors or preservatives. One 5.3 oz serving gives you 20% of your daily calcium allowance too which as the studies have indicated, can help you maintain both bone and muscle health. It is similar in texture to Chobani's Greek Yogurt so if you like that, you'll most likely enjoy Siggi's.

You can add lots of tasty things to your yogurt and take it with you on your bike or lunch bag. I like to add dried cranberries, walnuts, dried apples, etc. and put my yogurt in a little chillable container to take with me on the road. You can also use a little jam jar with a screw top and make your yogurt treat the night before. The next morning it's ready to grab and go. Here's a yogurt parfait recipe to go:
