Egg-Less Nog Protein Shake
Hi friends! Hope you’re having a wonderful morning. Today I have a delicious eggless eggnog protein shake recipe for you to try!Yesterday was a great day. Liv, P and I met up with Jess and her daughter at the aquarium,
(Liv is obsessed with her black boots)
came back home and made dinner,
(this stew is AMAZING. We were out of quinoa so I added cooked brown rice. I almost always made it in the slow cooker and add the quinoa and olives after it’s finished cooking. It’s so easy, and always delicious.)
and took a BODYPUMP class at the gym.
I’m starting to ease myself back into my usual teaching classes, especially since I start teaching in a little less than 2 weeks. My first week back, I’m teaching two Spin classes and two barre classes. I’m trying to lessen the shock on my body by slowly building up strength and cardio, but I know that first week back will be a kick in the reals.
Eggless Eggnog Protein Shake
Today I have a new smoothie recipe for you! I’m liiiiive for eggnog – my aunt and the Pilot both have incredible nog skills – and since I spent 5 weeks without dairy (and 4 without eggs), I was still looking for a way to infuse some eggnog flavor into my life.
I made a protein smoothie with lots of nutmeg, the sweetness of medjool dates, and creaminess from soaked cashews.
This would also be fantastic with some coconut whipped cream! It was a delicious and protein-packed variation of the beloved recipe. (The recipe the Pilot follows is here if you want to make some of the real deal this holiday season! My vegan version is here, too.)
Here’s the mix if you’d like to give it a try!

Those boots are fab! I’d be obsessed too 🙂
Love her hairstyle as well.
Eggnog isn’t a thing in this part of the world,
but I’m tempted to try your recipe!
Nog is a major YAY for me. It’s just so HOLIDAY, love the addition of dates too! Have a great day, Gina! 🙂
Oh wow this look incredible! Soaked cashews are amazing for thickening recipes. I’m not a fan of eggnog, but I could certainly get down with this.
let me know if you give it a try!
I am thinking of getting certified in spinning next year some time what do you think?
yes! i think you would love it
Love her hairstyle and that stew looks awesome.
Cool idea!
I’m not much of an eggnog fan, but we made it (so easy: eggs + milk + sugar + spices) for our holiday cocktail party and people went crazy for it. I like just a taste here and there—it’s a nice little treat.
Yuuuuum I bet the cashews made it sooooo creamy! That’s clever I would have gone with coconut but that gives it a coconut taste. For Livi, I’m obsessed with my black boots too 😉
🙂
Cute boots, Liv!!
I bet you’re excited to start teaching again! When are you going to start teaching yoga?
i’m not sure! it might be a little while. my boss said she wants me to start subbing here and there and see how it feels
YAY!!!!! I’ve been loving the diary free egg nog this year!
so good 🙂
Have you tried Califia Farms Almond Milk Holiday Nog? It’s SO yummy! http://www.califiafarms.com/products/almondmilk/holiday-nog1
Not an egg nog fan, but I appreciate a hot cup of cocoa if it ever getts cold here. Today’s high 73F. What???
I have to say I just had this smoothie this morning for breakfast and it was so so yummy. Thanks
i’m happy you liked it!!
Young coconut would indeed be perfect for a smoothie like this! Do you have any source for them besides cracking the coconut yourself? I’ve done that, but can’t get into it on a regular basis.
sometimes costco has the meat in the freezer section!
It looks so tasty! Thank you for sharing such amazing recipe :)! I will try to make it when i come back home :)!
Hey. I love protein shakes. I like your protein shake recipe. I always look for a different taste.
I tried the Eggless Eggnog Protein Shake recipe. It tastes awesome!
Thanks for sharing the recipe!!
