While both skyr and Greek yogurt are thick, creamy and rich in protein, they are made quite differently. To make Greek yogurt, the whey is simply strained. On the other hand, to achieve its signature texture and high protein concentration, producing skyr involves cooking down large amounts of milk, Largeman-Roth says. Compared to Greek yogurt, skyr is less tangy and a bit creamier, too — so if you’re not a fan of Greek yogurt’s tang, skyr might become your new go-to.
