It’s the most wonderful time of the year and nothing brings on the holiday season more than a large mug full of warm Egg Nog on a cold winters evening… and an extra large waistline. Sorry to burst your bubble of season joy folks, but Egg Nog is not one of the healthiest holiday drinks of the season. Egg Nog is loaded with calories and fat!
Just check out these horrendous nutritional counts:

Wow what a great recipe! And I already have everything I need to make it–yay!
LOVE THIS! My hubby loves eggnog so going to try this on him!
Thanks so much for this recipe! Love that it’s made with vanilla almond milk! Haven’t tried the unsweetened version yet, but I bet it’s good! I like how easy it is to make this and how much better it is for you!
Use rum extract in place of vanilla for even stronger eggnog flavor! Yum!
What a cool idea. Almond milk is the bomb – love it for modifying recipes to be dairy free. And what a great flavor to add to egg nog!
OMG I AM SO HAPPY YOU CAME UP WITH THIS!!! EGG NOG IS MY FAVORITE!!!!!
