Need a naughty festive treat, but really trying to be good this year? Try this egg-nog recipe! It is actually something I concocted as a post-workout drink (or mini-meal/”snack”).
Ingredients
16 oz skim milk
1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon rum extract or “vanilla butter and nut extract”
1 scoop vanilla protein (or 1 pkg weight watchers vanilla smoothie)
1/4 tsp nutmeg
dash of cinnamon
Directions:
Combine all ingredients and blend in your protein shaker or blender or VitaMix! To enjoy, pour the eggnog into a glass or mug and sprinkle with nutmeg and cinnamon. Ahh…you’re taste buds will never know you’re still in your meal plan.
If You Like it Hot and More Decadent
Ingredients
2 eggs — separated
4 cups skim milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons rum extract
1-2 scoops vanilla protein (or 2 pkgs weight watchers vanilla smoothie)
1/4 tsp nutmeg

Directions:
Combine the egg yolks and milk in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat until the mixture coats a metal spoon. Cool.
Beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Add to the milk mixture, then add the vanilla, sugar substitute, extract and protein. Mix lightly. Cover and chill.
