    This high-protein eggnog shake is perfect when you need something quick, healthy and full of holiday flavor. This is a homemade eggnog recipe you don't have to feel guilty about!

    I used to love eggnog. It's creamy, sweet and full of holiday spices. Unfortunately, most packaged eggnogs (including the non-dairy versions) are also full of refined sugar, gums, coloring, or other processed food ingredients.

    Even homemade eggnog recipes are mostly dairy and sugar with a few eggs mixed in. It's basically melted vanilla ice cream with cinnamon and nutmeg. I created this eggnog shake to get my favorite holiday eggnog fix, without all the not-so-healthy ingredients.

    This easy paleo eggnog smoothie is perfect for breakfast or a quick snack. Using egg white powder for the eggs gives it extra protein. And using powdered egg whites gives it that classic holiday eggnog flavor without having to cook eggs for the eggnog. Look for an eggwhite protein powder like this one that's just dried egg whites, unsweetened, with no added ingredients.

    And of course, this eggnog smoothie is dairy free. I use cashew milk because it's mild, creamy flavor blends perfectly with the eggnog spices. Homemade cashew milk is super easy to make. Unlike almond milk, you don't have to strain cashew milk through a nut milk bag—using a high-speed blender will make it perfectly smooth without straining. (See the full cashew milk recipe here).

    Pro tip: save time by making smoothies when you make nut milk. Since the blender is already out, why not make a couple smoothies at the same time? That way you only have to wash the blender once! 🙂

    This healthy eggnog smoothie recipe tastes like an eggnog milkshake. You can even top it with coconut whipped cream and a sprinkle of fresh ground nutmeg to make it extra festive. And who doesn't want that for breakfast?

      This sounds really good, but I am allergic to eggs. Do you have any substitution suggestions for the egg protein?

        Hi Linda, you can try substituting gelatin protein for the egg protein.

      It's my new favorite shake.....it really hit the spot. I actually used whey as I do not have egg white powder. It was delicious.

      Hi Lisa, have you tried this with liquid egg whites, rather than powder? Would that work? Thanks! --Tara

        Hi Tara, I have not tried this with liquid egg whites. I think it would probably change the texture a bit. If you try it, let me know how it turns out!
