'Tis the season to drink egg nog, fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la!

Except I can't drink dairy. So it is time to try a couple dairy-free alternatives. Both surprisingly work well enough to fill the christmas beverage void in a pinch, but there's room for criticism, too.

Silk Nog Original

Pros: relatively inexpensive, good flavor

Cons: watery. Very much the wrong consistency.

Califa Holiday Nog Almond Milk

Pros: better consistency

Cons: price

Other notes: almond flavor is quite pronounced. Some may object. Others may not mind.

Interesting! I have never liked egg nog! Lol!

HERESY!!!

But seriously, you're probably better off if this high-calorie beverage doesn't attract your interest at all.

Lol! My husband doesn't care for it either!

Isn't there some egg nog that have alcohol?

Yes, eggnog is sometimes served as a cocktail with brandy, spiced rum, bourbon, or other brown-colored spirits. I have not yet tried that, since I don't tend to drink spirits and do not have them on hand. Should I buy some cheap booze and see how they blend into these beverages?

I have also recently discovered an intolerance for all things dairy as well. Crazy considering the copious quantities I've consumed up until now. Glad to see I can still enjoy the nog during the holidays. Since my discovery, I'm kind of partial to the almond milk myself. I also don't have a great relationship with soy, and I can't stand the taste of that pea protein milk called Ripple. Almond milk is where it's at.

I do tend to prefer almond milk over the soy and rice alternatives, but this is quite strongly almond flavored. I prefer blending the two, really. But I agree, the decision is easy of soy isn't your thing. Let me know if you find any other alternatives, too!

we'll these are interesting... might actually try these if i see them sometime thx for sharing

gave this a resteem, as i'm sure a few of my followers maybe interested
