I love egg nog, but it’s so bad. It’s thickness can be a little gross and I picture people drinking raw egg like body builders in the movies. The calories are horrible too, depending on the brand it can have 400+ calories a cup.
We bought Vitasoy brand Holiday Nog the other day, and I have to say, it will substitute the real stuff just fine for me! It’s sweet, and more the consitancy of soy milk than egg nog. The calories are around 60 per 1/2 cup so I don’t feel as bad having it. I hear they make a chocolate peppermint flavor too. I should buy that too!

Love soy nog! I usually get Silk’s. I love the flavor of nog but I’m not so fond of the super thick texture and loads of calorie. Yum! I think they do a peppermint chocolate soy milk too– I don’t remember if it was Silk or Vitasoy. Totally yummy in coffee.

I’m with you lot, the thickness and mucous generating power of real egg nog is too much. This soy stuff has the flavor and a much more enjoyable texture.
