If I were stuck on a deserted island and could only eat three foods for the rest of my life, they would be: peaches, chocolate, and Greek yogurt. I love yogurt – especially when it’s paired with raw oatmeal (try it – I swear it’s delicious) or crunchy granola.

 

I used to buy non-flavored yogurt and sweeten it with a touch of honey, but I fell out of the habit. Why? Well, I really, really like the taste of sweetened vanilla yogurt… so I buy it despite the fact that most brands are loaded with sugar (and despite the fact that I know I feel more energetic throughout the day if I don’t have a sugary breakfast). That’s why I was SO excited to get a chance to try out siggi’s Icelandic-styled strained yogurt. The tagline for the brand is "More protein than sugar." A flavored yogurt with less sugar and no artificial sweeteners? I’m in!

Read on for a siggi’s coupon and a granola recipe!

Just compare the siggi’s yogurt to my normal Trader Joe’s option:

That’s 14 grams of protein and 9 grams of sugar in siggi’s v. 12 grams of protein and 17 grams of sugar in Trader Joe’s brand. Crazy! And the siggi’s yogurt is really delicious – super thick and creamy, and the flavors aren’t overwhelming (think a yummy hint of strawberry or coconut, not like BAM! STRAWBERRYFAKENESS!).

siggi’s goes perfectly with this delicious homemade yogurt, which also has a lot less sugar than most store-bought granola brands. You can use it to make a yummy yogurt parfait!

Nuts and Coconut Basic Granola

 

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups rolled oatmeal (not the instant kind)
  • 1 cup sliced almonds
  • 1 cup chopped pecans

  • 1/2 cup coconut oil
  • 1/2 tablespoon vanilla
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup

Directions:

  • Preheat oven to 225 and grease a cookie sheet.
  • In a coffee mug, microwave the coconut oil for 30 seconds or until melted. Stir in vanilla extract.
  • In a large bowl, combine oats, coconut, and nuts. Pour coconut oil on top slowly, mixing as you go.
  • Spread out and press down into cookie sheet.
  • Bake for an hour. Stir every 20 minutes and press down again (
  • Enjoy!

Yum.

    I’ll definitely try that yogurt! My daughter and I eat plain, full fat Greek yogurt, but my husband likes flavored yogurts as a snack. I’ve long been on the hunt for something to replace his beloved Yoplait (26 grams of sugar in one little container?!) with something that will give him a lot of protein and not load up on the sugar. This seems like a great alternative! I love when sponsored posts are actually helpful to me 🙂

    This is so funny because I am eating a Siggi’s yogurt as I read this post. I LOVE the vanilla flavor.

    This sounds wonderful! Can’t wait to make some, just wondering how long does the granola keep for and about how much is a serving and how many servings?

    I discovered Icelandic yogurt on a stopover flight on our way to Paris. I grabbed some yogurt in the Reykjavik airport before we had to board our second flight and was amazed at how delicious, yet simple it was. I wanted to find a replication when we got home and was so excited when Siggi’s landed in our grocery store! I love the coconut one and have been wanting to try the Pumpkin, but my grocery store doesn’t carry it. 🙁

    I love vanilla yogurt too and so I mix it with plain in order to cut the sugar.

    Comparing Siggi’s to TJs vanilla is a stretch. If you like the yummy goodness of TJ’s vanilla, then you’re going to think Siggi’s is pretty tart. I’ve had booth, and both are good-they’re just two very different animals.

    Siggis has been a fixture in my fridge for the past year – love it!

    this granola looks amazing! all my favorite flavors rolled into one 🙂

    Yum I love yogourt!! This brand sounds great. I wonder if it’s available in Canada…?

    I’m Norwegian and have been eating Skyr since I was little. It’s a MIRACLE FOOD that I am shocked is not available most places here. Literally only one store in Toronto carries Skyr (and they happen to carry Siggi’s). So much protein, so rich and filling, 10000 times better than yogurt!

  • Kiara December 24, 2014, 9:15 am

    One thing though – I wouldn’t call skyr “yogurt”, I don’t think. They’re similar, but different products all together.
