If you’re anything like me, egg nog is one of my favorite holiday flavors! It may be because I had egg nog every year for Christmas Eve at our family gathering…Or maybe because it’s because it’s the perfect beverage to cozy-up with while watching Christmas movies….Either way, I love everything about it during the holiday season! I created this version of my rich-creamy protein shakes (and/or milkshakes) to cure my ever burning desire for this oh-so ‘not healthy’ beverage!
Not only does it cure my cravings for egg nog, but it’s got the stay-full power of protein, so it works great as a snack and/or meal replacement! If you love egg nog, I can guarantee you will LOVE (maybe even be obsessed with) this creamy dreamy egg nog shake!
I use 1/2 tsp Xanthan gum in all my protein shakes to increase thickness/ creaminess. You can get this from most grocery stores, and it is usually found in the baking, health foods, or gluten free section. Just a pinch of it makes your shake very thick and creamy!

Hello! I don’t usually comment on posts, but I when I made this shake for breakfast just now I nearly cried. I have a sugar addiction that I am fighting and with the sweetener alternatives in this I’m allowed to have it. So I made it this morning and it is delicious! Thank you for having so many healthy and delicious food choices on your site. I visit it regularly. :)

So perfect for the beginning of Fall when I am starting to crave all those classically unhealthy, but totally delicious, holiday items. This tasted so much like eggnog! Drank it for breakfast and my husband is looking forward to his turn in the next few days. :) Awesome as always, Katie!

and if you dont want to make a shake..but more of a traditionally try a bit of vanilla soy milk and a tsp of rum extract…and some cinnamon/nutmeg/sweetener and it will be a light ‘egg nog’ drink! :)
