Egg Nog is the drink of the Christmas season, and one drink I absolutely can’t get enough of! Thank goodness I only have a few holiday parties this year! Just one cup of the real deal is usually 350 calories, 19 grams of fat, and 21 grams of sugar; so I created a FittChick alternative that will fill your craving and is crazy delicious! This is one protein shake I will be making all winter long! Happy Blending!
EGG NOG PROTEIN SHAKE
INGREDIENTS:
– 1 scoop vanilla whey protein powder
– ½ cup shaved ice (or to your liking)
– ½ cup vanilla unsweetened almond milk
– ½ cup egg nog flavored almond milk
– ½ banana (frozen works best)
– 1 tsp cinnamon
– 1 tsp Nutmeg
– 1 tsp Rum extract (optional)
– A few shakes of pumpkin pie spice
– Stevia to sweeten even more (optional)
– 1 Shake Xanthum gum for thickness
TOPPING:
– 1 TBSP milled flaxseed
– ½ tsp cinnamon
– 1 tsp Truvia
DIRECTIONS:
-
Mix all shake ingredients in your blender until smooth. Remember the longer you blend xanthum gum the thicker it gets. I usually leave mine running around 5 minutes.
-
Pour into a cup.
-
Combine “topping” ingredients”
-
Sprinkle topping on your shake and devour every last drop!
