Raw Egglessnog

Our holiday raw food recipe quest continues with dairy free, healthy “eggnog”. Christmas has always been magical for me. Every room of our home was decorated with beautiful garlands and Christmas cheer. My mother turned into the Christmas Angel and our home was stunning with it’s magical transformation. Along with the decorations, came the food and drinks. Tom & Jerry’s (made with vanilla for me), eggnog, dozens of different cookies. Christmas wasn’t just a holiday, it was a month long event.

 

Raw Food Recipe: Eggless Nog

 

I have continued this tradition for my family. Boxes of decorations and ornaments make their way out of storage and our home begins it’s own transformation. Pine garlands, lights, and wreaths on every door, inside and out. As the decorating starts, I find myself craving the traditional holiday beverages. But the traditional recipes are not exactly healthy. Milk, cream, sugar and eggs. Sounds divine but not for my heart or my waist. So, with the inspiration from my friend, Joanna from Fresh Blessings, I give you the raw food, healthy version of eggnog. Dairy free, sweetened with dates, a little agave, and loaded with healthy ingredients and nutrients. I have served this to my non-raw friends and they love it. Toast the holidays to health with this wonderful beverage.

    I have not tried this, but will this holiday season – looks yummy, would canned coconut milk work? I have a hard time finding young coconuts where I live.

    Also – I love this photo 🙂

    I’m enjoying your beautiful website. Can you recommend a substitution for the coconut flesh? I live in Canada and this ingredient is almost impossible to find in our city (probably easy in Toronto). We sometimes get non ripe or over ripe ones out of their green shell in the grocery but not often and not at all like the fresh ones I’ve tasted abroad. Thanks for the great recipes.

    New to high raw ratio eating and this will be my first holiday season since upping the ante to >90%. So, I’m wondering, liquor, liquers, etc. are considered not acceptable for the occasional holiday cup of cheer in terms of it gets heated too much? I really don’t know much, well anything, about how spirits are made. I thought they were mashed, strained and fermented kind of like rejuvalac. 🙂

    Any insight is appreciated!

      Hard liquor is distilled. Wine is fermented. While I will have an occasional glass of wine, I don’t touch the hard stuff. Personally it seems and feels like poison. But that is just my opinion.

    I just made this, having all the ingredients and needing something warm for a cold Ohio winter night. Delicious! I also saved the pulp from straining it and added a spoonful the next couple mornings to my raw oatmeal, and that was also really good!!

    I just made this recipe and OH MY GOD! This is the best raw eggnog I have ever tried/made!! The other recipes I have found and tried all had banana in them and when completed, had a banana flavor to it that stayed with you – did not like that. But THIS! No Bananas anywhere! And it tastes AMAZING! One note is that I was not able to find any rum extract in stores near me so I had to exclude that. I also used only 2-2.5 cups of water to make the taste thicker. YAH BABY!! Thank you Susan! I am so happy you made this available to everyone!!!!
    Happy Holidays!!
