Fro-yo girl here. I was at Sprouts and decided to try Green Mountain Creamery’s Skyr yogurt. It was marked new. The retail price was $1.59 each and the sale price 5 for $5. The flavors are blended. My Sprouts was sold out of Strawberry Cream, but they had Vanilla Bean and Key Lime.
Available flavors: Strawberry Cream, Vanilla Bean, Salted Caramel, Key Lime, Plain
* Key Lime: Their key lime skyr had the usual key lime flavor. It was sweeter than I expected but had a nice tang. The texture was thick and creamy. I’m used to skyr having less sugar than Greek yogurt. I’m not sure how Green Mountain’s skyr is different from Greek yogurt. It seems too sweet for skyr.
* Vanilla Bean: It was nice to see the vanilla bean specks throughout the yogurt and to taste more vanilla than Green Mountain Creamery’s vanilla Greek yogurt. It was tangy but not sour and it had a hint of cream flavor. It was definitely richer than the Greek yogurt version, and better because it had more vanilla flavor. However, it was slightly chalky and pretty sweet for skyr (sweeter than Siggi’s). I also noticed they used thickeners: guar gum and corn starch. I prefer skyr made without thickeners.
Green Mountain Creamery Skyr is all natural, no RBST, gluten free, Grade-A strained, 3.5% milkfat, and has live and active cultures.
One serving of Vanilla Bean Skyr has 160 calories, 4g total fat, 16g total carbohydrates, 12g total sugars and 13g protein. Compared to their Greek yogurt, it has a little more protein, more fat (whole vs. nonfat milk), and a little more sugar.

3.5 out of 5 stars

Fro-yo girl here. I found Green Mountain Creamery Greek Yogurt at Sprouts on sale (5 for $5). Each cup is 5.3 ounces and fat free. The yogurt is manufactured in Vermont with all natural ingredients and made with rBST free Vermont milk. It’s sweetened lightly with sugar. The fruit flavors are made with real fruit and berries. Each cup has live and active yogurt cultures.
* Maple Greek: I really liked this flavor. It’s a simple flavor – just yogurt and maple syrup, but the maple syrup adds something special. The maple flavor is subtle but present. It’s fairly sweet but still has that lovely yogurt tang.
* Vanilla Greek: The texture was great – smooth, thick, creamy. I also liked how it wasn’t too sweet but the vanilla flavor was too subtle for me and it didn’t taste like vanilla beans (tasted more like vanilla extract). I didn’t see any bean specks.
Available flavors: Blueberry, Cherry, Coffee, Maple, Peach, Pineapple, Plain, Strawberry, Vanilla
Ingredients (Vanilla Greek): Cultured pasteurized Grade A Nonfat Milk, sugar, native corn starch, natural flavor, pectin. Contains the following live cultures: Lactobacillus bulgaricus, Streptococcus thermophilus, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidus, Lactobacillus casei.
