Has anyone had skyr?

I am trying to find some new ways to get more protein in my diet and I have read that skyr has 2-3 times more protein than yogurt.

If you have had it, what does it taste like? Does it taste really close to yogurt? It isn't cheap and if it taste close pretty close to yogurt I won't bother trying it since I hate the taste of yogurt. I have tried so many times to force myself to eat it, but I just stand the taste of it.

I love yogurt but I *really* dislike Skyr. I don't even eat sweet yogurt (I eat Greek yogurt) but this stuff, to me, is just nasty. My friend's daughter, however, LOVES it. So, different strokes I guess. It is very similar to yogurt.

Huge Skyr fan here. It actually is cheese, I believe. So good. However, I have not been able to find it in the US. Where are you finding it?

I did read that it is considered a soft cheese.

Whole Foods carries it.

Does it taste like any type of cheese?

Most of my grocery stores now carry it: Whole Foods, Wegman's and Giant Food in Northern VA. It is sold under the brand name Siggi's. Whole Foods carries yet another brand of it.

I don't think it tastes like cheese at all. It tastes like a very concentrated, thick yogurt to me and not as sweet as even Greek yogurt. I tried to love it, I really did and I just can't. I'm surprised because I'm a big fan of yogurt and the plainer the better.

Another option: I recently read that quinoa has the highest amount of protein of any grain. Am trying to incorporate it more into our diet.

My dd in college ate it a lot on her trip to Ecquador. I'll have to ask her for her favorite recipes.
