Protein Punched Eggnog

Eggnog is a classic holiday staple for many. For a bariatric friendly version, consider using a protein shake instead of the traditional high calorie milk, cream and sugar combination.

Ingredients:

• 2 11 oz. Vanilla Premier Protein® Shakes
• ½ cup liquid egg substitute
• 2 Tbsp no calorie sweetener
• 2 tsp rum extract
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ½ tsp + 1 pinch ground nutmeg
• ½ tsp + 1 pinch ground cinnamon

Directions:

Combine 2 Premier Protein® shakes, egg substitute and sweetener in a heavy sauce pan. Heat over medium for a few minutes, stirring continuously, until the mixture thickens slightly. You do not want your mixture to reach a boil. Add vanilla extract, rum extract, ½ tsp nutmeg & ½ tsp cinnamon. Transfer to a heat safe container and refrigerate for 3 hours or until thoroughly cooled. Stir eggnog before serving and garnish glasses with a sprinkle of nutmeg and cinnamon. Enjoy!
