Now, the Vermont-based company is venturing beyond Greek yogurt and is hoping to make the [Icelandic-style yogurt skyr](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/siggis-seasonal-tropical-yuzu-skyr) just as accessible to consumers. To do this, the company has launched a new range of [blended skyr products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bergeron-skyr) in indulgent flavors like Vanilla Bean, Salted Caramel, Strawberry Cream and Key Lime. The Vermont-style "gateway" skyr is said to be thick and creamy, yet mild in flavor. Simple products are at the base of the new dairy products, including pasteurized whole milk, cane sugar as a sweetener, non-GMO corn starch, natural flavor, plus fruit juices or vegetable concentrates for added color. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.7/10 - Popularity: 68% | Activity: 34% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Blended Icelandic Yogurts:** Creating a new range of blended skyr products that offer indulgent flavors could attract consumers who are unfamiliar with Icelandic-style yogurt. - **Approachable Greek Yogurt:** Continuing to make Greek yogurt approachable to consumers by expanding into other yogurt varieties like Icelandic-style skyr. - **Simple Ingredients:** Emphasizing the use of simple, natural ingredients in dairy products to cater to health-conscious consumers seeking transparency. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Dairy Products:** Incorporating blended Icelandic yogurts into the dairy product industry can attract consumers looking for new and exciting yogurt options with unique flavors. - **Health and Wellness:** Capitalizing on the trend of using simple ingredients in yogurt can create opportunities within the health and wellness industry by appealing to health-conscious consumers. - **Food and Beverage:** Expanding the range of accessible yogurt options can disrupt the food and beverage industry by tapping into the growing demand for innovative and flavorful products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Adult-Targeted Icelandic Yogurts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yoplait-skyr.md) - [Dessert-Themed Skyr Yogurts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/icelandic-provisions-salted-caramel-banana.md) - [Dairy-Free Icelandic Yogurts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oatmilk-skyr.md) - [Thick Plant-Powered Yogurts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skyr-protein-coconut.md) - [Free-From High-Protein Yogurts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/danone-skyr.md) - [Yogurt Retail Debuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/organic-skyr-yogurt.md) - [Skyr Yogurt Expansions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/norr-organic.md) - [Skyr-Infused Meals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/icelandic-provisions-skyr.md) - [Rich Goat's Milk Yogurts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bergeron-skyr.md)
