A few days ago I was asking about eggnog recipes. I kept seeing the silk soy milk eggnog. I bought some this weekend and OMG it is really good. It is thinner in consistency wise but tastes just like eggnog. It is 90 calories per serving. I drink it in my smallest glass I have so I won't be tempted to drink a full glass of it. But it does satisfy my eggnog craving!! I thought about adding vanilla protein powder in with it.

Does it have sugar in it? I need to stay away from sugar. I've been satisfying my cravings with a vanilla protein shake with sugar free egg nog syrup in it. I add a little sugar free sweet Italian cream creamer and it's delicious.

Yes it does have sugar in it. It is 12 grams I think. It is a lot less than the other eggnog's I have seen.

I tried the Rice Dream brand eggnog - kinda high in carbs too (16g) but it'll do for a nog craving! I like Tazz's idea of the sugar-free eggnog syrup though....

That sounds good. I kick my craving by making a Vanilla Protein shake, adding Pumpkin Pie Spice Torani Syrup, French Vanilla Syrup and some Pumpkin Pie Spice sprinkled in and shake shake shake w/milk. SO GOOD!

Here is one from a fellow WLS lady. Linda use to be very active on OH and has her own recipe site.

NO SUGAR ADDED, NO EGG EGGNOG

1 cup fat-free half & half

One 1-ounce pkg (four 1/2- cup serving size) sugar-free instant vanilla pudding powder (Jell-O brand works best…see note)

5 cups 2% milk

3 tablespoons Splenda granular

3/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

2 teaspoons brandy or rum extract

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

.
Whisk together the half & half and pudding powder until smooth – this will be very thick. Slowly whisk in mil****il smooth. Whisk in Splenda, nutmeg, cinnamon, and extracts. Allow to chill for at least 2 hours. Serve with whipped cream and a sprinkling of freshly grated nutmeg. Makes approx twelve 1/2-cup servings.

Per Serving: 82 Cal; 4 g Protein; 4 g Tot Fat; 7 g Carb; 0 g Fiber; 5 g Sugar; 155 mg Sodium

**Jell-O brand works best for this recipe. I love them, but the generic brands are sometimes bigger packages and will make the drink too thick. Then you have to add more milk, and it just ‘waters’ it down. Go with Jell-O!
