Today is Eggnog Day! Creamy, sweet and delicious, homemade eggnog is a real treat at the holidays. Spiked with a dash of rum or whiskey, it's a cocktail and dessert rolled into one. Unfortunately but not shockingly, eggnog is also pretty high in fat and calories. After all, it is essentially a rich custard mixed with whole milk and egg whites. Cook with skim milk instead of whole or 2% milk. Your nog will be just as creamy, and you’ll save up to 70 calories. Lactose intolerant? Swap rice or soy milk for the regular milk. The nog won't be as creamy, but it will still be delicious. Traditional eggnog has 226 calories and 13 g fat. Serving size=3/4 cup (6 ounces or about the size of a hockey puck) These eggnog recipes have fewer than 100 calories per serving. Find more healthy desserts and sides here. Eggnog or egg not? What do you think? Are you an eggnog fan? My boyfriend, Fred, is a HUGE fan and makes the creamy stuff for every party we throw. I'm not a milk drinker, so I buy the Silk brand nog. |
