Have a Cup of Cheer

RAW NOG!



Blend 'er Up:

3/4 C cashews (add more depending on the thickness you like)
1 1/2 C water
1 date, soaked for 15-20 minutes(use the date soak water for this recipe because it's sweet)
1 t vanilla extract
1/2 t cinnamon
1/2 t nutmeg
dash of sea salt

You can blend for a long time to heat it up some like a Nog Latte, or refrigerate for an original Nog experience. I strained mine, but that's up to you. I suppose real eggnog is pretty thick anyways. This makes 1 1/2 cups.

  1. Yummy! This sounds like a great holiday nog to me :) I'm not a big fan of the soy stuff. But I love cashews :)

  2. My BF is obsessed with eggnog (I call him a "nogger"). Wonder if I can convince him to try this...

  3. It's worth a try! And yes, I agree the soy stuff always does taste a bit off...
