Thick skyr topped with berries and oats
🇮🇸 Reykjavík
Skyr is Iceland's ancient cultured dairy — technically a fresh cheese, eaten like a thick, mild yogurt — and it has fueled Icelanders for over a thousand years. For breakfast it is spooned into a bowl and topped with wild berries (bláber), a little honey, and toasted oats, protein-rich fuel for a cold northern day.
