I’m all about helping to make your holidays healthier and more delicious than you ever thought possible! I have the most amazing eggnog substitute to share – an almond cinnamon holiday nog that you’ll probably want to sip all year long.
Eggnog is a typical holiday beverage comprised mainly of milk or cream, eggs and sugar – and then often a healthy dollop of booze. I always thought eggnog was gross, but it recently became even more so when I heard it referred to as…wait for it… “Egg Milk Punch.” Eeeeewww! Right?
I’m sorry, but “egg milk punch” brings to mind images of oozyness that just don’t tickle my tastebuds.
What we usually love about eggnog isn’t even the egg bit or the nog bit, but the creamy warmth, combined with the winter warming spices of cinnamon and nutmeg.
Recently, I’ve been playing around with my brand new Blendtec Stealth, a holiday gift from my dear generous friends at Blendtecand so far this blender has inspired many a wonderous things.
My first set of experimentations was in exploring all sorts of new and awesome nut and seed milk variations which inspired this cheap and cheerful Milk It guide.
One of the recipes in that guide is my chai oat milk, which has become the base of so many amazing winter shakes, including my brand shiny new winter staple. Its December name is Almond Cinnamon Holiday Nog, and the rest of the year we’re going to call it Almond Cinnamon Date Smoothie.Print
Creamy delicious almond butter straight from the Blendtec Twister.
Ingredients
Scale
1 cup dry almonds
1 tbsp coconut oil
pinch of sea salt
Instructions
Place all ingredients into your Blendtec Twister and blend on high while turning the twister counter-clockwise. This will heat up quite quickly, so you may need to stop part way, clean down the sides and let it cool a little.
Blend until smooth.
Store in an airtight container in your fridge for 2 weeks.
You can also do this in your food processor, but I have to say, I have never gotten a consistency quite so smooth any other way.
I made my first batch of almond milk this week and my fiancé and I are in love! He said its a million times better than the store-bought kind and I agree. We were missing some of the ingredients, but your almond milk recipe with cinnamon, nutmeg, and fresh maple syrup was pretty festive!
I made this today with the Morning Chai Oatmilk – super delicious! And super nourishing with the oats, turmeric, cinnamon, etc. I may have added a splash of rum for some holiday fun, but even without, this is the perfect festive beverage…thanks Meghan for another winner!

Even worse then egg milk punch – chicken milk! My man loves eggnog, I think it’s the worst!

one word! wow! (well maybe two) delicious!
I have a question! to make the almond butter, can I activate and let dry the almonds first? Or do you do it with raw (not activated) almonds?
Thank you very much for your useful and professional information
