Skyr energy drink whip

3 min · 26 g protein · 157 cals / serving

The protein snack that went viral in Germany: thick skyr shaken with a splash of sugar-free energy drink until it turns light, tangy and mousse-like. Two ingredients, one shaker and about 26 grams of protein. It does contain caffeine, so treat it like a coffee.

Ingredients

Steps

  1. Pour the energy drink into a glass and stir it for 30 seconds to knock out most of the fizz. Shaken straight from the can, it builds enough pressure to pop the lid off a shaker.
  2. Spoon the skyr into a protein shaker or a jar with a tight lid, add the energy drink, close it and shake hard for 30 seconds. Open it carefully, close it again and shake until completely smooth.Step 2, what it should look like
  3. Drink it, or pour it into a glass and eat it with a spoon. It is at its lightest in the first few minutes.

Good to know

How much caffeine is in it?

Most energy drinks carry about 32 mg of caffeine per 100 ml, so this half cup has roughly 40 mg, about half a cup of coffee. Use only sugar-free drinks, keep it to one a day, and skip it for children, during pregnancy and late in the day.

Which flavor works best?

Light, fruity ones (citrus, peach, tropical, the white varieties) taste like a fruit yogurt drink. The dark original flavors taste odd against dairy.

No skyr?

Plain quark or nonfat Greek yogurt behaves the same way. Something thinner, like regular yogurt, turns into a drink rather than a whip.
