Raw Eggless Eggnog

The following information is for education only and is not meant to diagnose, prescribe, or treat illness.

Eggnog is one of those traditional winter holiday treats that we must have on our Christmas dinner table.

While there are many vegan eggnog versions out there (you can even make carrot-nog or avocado-nog), the closest to the traditional nog in terms of texture, appearance and taste is the nut and banana eggless eggnog, seasoned with powdered cinnamon and sweetened with agave syrup, honey, or dates.

Cashews and banana make for a wonderful combination, giving the nog both the right texture and the right flavor. Almonds and cashews are loaded with healthy essential fats, protein and fibers that assist digestion.

A large, nut based eggless eggnog with bananas is a fiber rich, nutritional powerhouse that can even replace a meal. Magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, zinc and manganese are among the essential minerals you will find in this raw Christmas treat.

Moreover, almonds are believed to have a number of additional health effects, including in reducing the risk of cancer and improving complexion.
