I drink about one glass of eggnog a year. One glass is all I really need to get my fix. This year I decided to create my own eggnog so I could control the ingredients and not waste half a container of the store bought stuff. So, I stepped into the Fitness & Spice test kitchen and gave eggnog a healthy shake. Ladies and gentleman I give you…

Eggnog My Whey

• 1/3 cup vanilla protein powder
• 1/4 cup Egg Beaters*
• 1/4 cup Blue Diamond Unsweetened Almond Milk, NuVal score – 90
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/4 t vanilla extract (or rum extract)
• 1/4 t nutmeg
• 3-5 ice cubes

Blend all ingredients together in your Magic Bullet or blender. Pour into a really cute glass, sprinkle with nutmeg, sip, enjoy!

* From the Egg Beaters Web site: Because they’re pasteurized, Egg Beaters are safe and convenient to use in recipes that require uncooked eggs.

Now I really must go whip up another protein mocktail. Two servings of eggnog in one year? Yes, I’m totally getting carried awhey!
