Raw Vegan Eggnog

December 18, 2012 by Cara

There are some traditions that should never be let go of just because you cannot consume a certain type of food. For me, that’s eggnog, hands down–probably my most favorite part of this season. I used to never say no to eggnog…

Raw Vegan Egg Nog. A healthier way to celebrate this season! 

Imagine my delight when non-dairy milk brands were coming out with their own version of eggnog in the stores last year. I bought almost every brand of vegan nog…yet felt disappointed with each carton. They were all missing the thickness that I love, not to mention the flavor of the milk, be it rice or coconut, completely overpowered the entire drink’s taste.

Lighten those calories this holiday with a healthy, raw twist on Egg Nog.

 

So yesterday I was sitting here on the blog, staring at the front page and well, my non-dairy raw milk recipe was staring right at *me* begging to be made into nog form.

So I obeyed and transformed it into my most favorite holiday beverage ever. I must admit, it’s the closest I have yet tasted to the real deal. So much so that I have already made 2 batches of the stuff. And downed all of it.

    Would a Ninja blender work for this? Or do you really need a Vitamix?

    • Cara

      November 18, 2013 at 4:02 pm

      Absolutely Lana! That is a high-speed blender and it will work just fine. In fact, I don’t even own a Vitamix, I use the Cuisinart’s version of the Magic Bullet and it’s one of my favorite kitchen appliances πŸ™‚

    LOVE x5! I screwed up a little tho lol I wanted this NOW! So I decided to use almond milk instead of the cashews (who has time to soak lol) So I skipped Ingredients #1 and #2 and just jumped in after that. Turned my blender on and noticed the coconut oil was clumped together with spices and thought, WTH! why isn’t there any liquid added here, what am I missing (rofl) then reread and thought DUH! πŸ™‚ So added the milk and LOVE! only prob was that the oil and spices were still clumped together but was actually kinda good when you got a chunk of it lol Not one of my better days but definitely one of yours! πŸ™‚

    I’ve recently discovered my own love for eggnog, never thought to make my own. I would love to try your version, but my blender is not high powered enough for cashews. Even with overnight soaking I end up with cashew bits, just doesn’t smooth out well. I am hoping Santa brings me a new one. Blender that is!

    Practically perfect in every way. If you don’t know that movie I may have to reconsider whether or not you should enter this contest and win a trip to Las Vegas. http://madejustright.com/contests I think it’s got like 5 more days to go, cookies and bars. What are you waiting for slow poke?

    Eggnog isn’t such a hit down here BUT I have very fond memories from when I spent a winter in the Rockies. I may have to give your dairy-free version a try – it looks scrummy!

    • Cara

      December 22, 2012 at 7:27 pm

      Well it sounds like you are going to embark upon the task of making vegannog a hit where you live now, doesn’t it? πŸ˜‰

    This looks great! And it doesn’t have all the weird chemicals that a lot of vegan milks have! Yay, Cara!

    This looks easy enough!

    My mother made eggnog “from scratch” when I was a kid. It was not thick! The stuff they sell at the grocery doesn’t work for me because of the thickeners they add.

    • Cara

      December 18, 2012 at 10:03 am

      Ha! That is too funny. Apparently I loved me some thickeners πŸ™‚ You just might find this somewhere in between with the consistency but tasty none-the-less.
