Rich, creamy and perfectly spiced, this dairy-free eggnog smoothie can be enjoyed, morning, noon and night!
Nothing celebrates the holiday season quite like eggnog. Just one sip has you dancing to Jingle Bell Rock. This year I’ve put a twist on traditional eggnog, to create a dreamy, dairy-free treat.
Eggnog in the morning, eggnog in the evening, eggnog at suppertime. Eggnog’s dreamy custard and spicy nutmeg flavors speak to my heart at Christmastime, but the eggs, heavy cream and sugar do not. And sometimes you want to drink said eggnog all day long while wrapping presents, checking your list twice and listing to Christmas music (but you know you can only stomach one or two glasses of the real deal).
