These Skyr Bowls are quick, delicious, SUPER customizable, and nutritional heaven! They are an ideal breakfast and one of my all-time favorite snacks as a dietitian. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do! 😊

This recipe is a combo of nutrient dense foods with a ton of flavor that comes together in one bowl and all you need is 2 minutes (maybe less!).
You can enjoy it any time of day so if you're looking for an upgrade of your ordinary fruit bowl and like a burst of flavors, give this extra creamy skyr bowl a try. 😊
This was inspired by my Whipped Cottage Cheese Bowls, another simple recipe. If you're looking for more nutritious snack ideas, try my Blueberry Protein Smoothie next.

Key Ingredient Notes and Substitutions
This Skyr Bowl uses simple ingredients. Below are some ingredient notes. Check the recipe card for exact ingredient measurements.
- Skyr - Skyr is iclandic dairy product similar to yogurt with a creamy texture. It has more protein than typical yogurt (similar to Greek yogurt) and also provides calcium and phosphorus. I use plain skyr for this recipe, but you can use your own favorite flavor! Vanilla skyr works great too. I like Siggi's or Icelandic Provisions brands.
- Oats - I suggest using quick oats because they mix in really smoothly with the skyr. If you prefer it more textured, use rolled oats! I don't suggest using steel cut oats because they won't soften. If you can't fathom eating raw oats, use granola instead!
- Fresh fruit or Frozen fruit - my favorite fruits to use are frozen blueberries or thin slices of apple. Bold tropical fruits work well too.
- Honey, Maple Syrup, or No Added Sugar Fruit Spread - to add sweetness.
- Seeds or Nuts - I add pumpkin seeds and walnuts to mine. Other options are chia seeds, hemp seeds, almonds, cashews, or flax seeds.
- Optional add-ins - peanut butter, almond butter, protein powder, coconut flakes, a touch of vanilla extract, or sea salt.
How to Make Skyr Bowls
Below are the instructions for how to make this Skyr Bowl recipe with some process shots that I hope are helpful!
- Step 1 - Add all the ingredients to a bowl or mason jars.
- Step 2- Give the skyr mixture a stir and add your favorite toppings.
Hint: I love using frozen fruit for mine because it adds texture and makes it cold to the point that the Skyr frosts a bit.
Dietitian Tip
Did you know that Skyr is a fermented dairy product from Iceland that becoming more popular globally? It's similar to Greek yogurt, but thicker and creamier with a less tart flavor. Nutritionally, skyr has slightly more protein than Greek yogurt and a high amount of calcium, an important nutrient for your bones, muscle function, and blood pressure regulation. Add Skyr to a bowl with oats and fruits like this, eat it plain, or use it to make dips and sauces! Since it's higher in protein, it's likely to keep you full longer. 😊

Variations
One of the best things about these Skyr Bowls is you can customize to your taste! Below are some ideas, but feel free to get creative.
- Banana Coconut - for coconut lovers, use creamy Icelandic Provisions Coconut Skyr and add shredded coconut and banana slices. Tastes like sweet coconut cake!
- Chocolate Peanut Butter - add a tablespoon of peanut butter, a touch of vanilla, and some dark chocolate to turn this into a PB chocolatey delight.
- Tropical Escape - turn it into pineapple skyr boat by adding pineapple and banana with crumbled graham crackers - like a tropical custardy pie!
Storage
You can make these Skyr Bowls in advance and store in the fridge for 1-2 days. Store in mason jars or another container with a lid.
Expert Tips
- If you use plain Skyr, it isn't sweet. If adding some jam and fruit isn't sweet enough for you, you can add another sweetener! Honey or maple syrup both work great.
- Feel free to adjust the ingredient amounts to your liking.
- I suggest using quick oats because they blend in better with the skyr and get creamy. You can use rolled oats if you don't mind a chewier texture!
FAQ
While healthy means something different to everyone, this is a nutrient-rich option. Skyr contains more protein than regular yogurt and it also provides other nutrients like calcium and potassium.
I like both Siggi's or Icelandic Provisions but you really can't go wrong with any!
