"Good for You" Holiday Eggnog

'Tis the season - and before long you'll be gathering around the hearth with loved ones to toast the season - except you wouldn't DARE dink that hideous concoction that comes in the peppermint decorated cartons from the dairy case - and the fixin's to make it from scratch would destroy your daily eating plan with only one sip...

What to do?!  What to DO?!?

TA - ta ta - DA!!!  The jolly old kitchen elf, St. Dave, has an answer for you.  A rich, thick, delicious  low calorie and LOW CARB eggnog that you can even make into a high protein shake.

5 cups very cold skim milk - or Almond milk or soy milk or moose milk..  Whatever you prefer

1 package sugar-free Vanilla instant pudding mix

1 teaspoon rum extract (or vanilla)

a grating of fresh nutmeg (or a shake from that tin in the cupboard)

Mix well and refrigerate for several hours.

Cook's Notes:  This just screams for the addition of a couple scoops of plain or vanilla protein powder for that extra healthy punch.

AND..  if you want to slip in a wee dram o' "the holiday spirits" that is up to you!
