Skinny Jeans Eggnog

The festive Christmas drink that has all the feels without the drama (sugar)

I love the idea of a Christmas cocktail that is also highly nutritious and not full of sugar. Enter the skinny jeans eggnog.

The base of this cocktail is loaded with lots of fat soluble vitamins that will keep your immune system up this Winter. Using the best possible ingredients and swapping out the sugar for monk fruit sugar, means no guilt. Because this drink is made with egg yokes and heavy whipping cream, you get a big shot of fat vitamins like A, D, E, and K. These are the backbone of your immune system and hormones. So it’s basically vitamins in a glass!

If you’re headed out to a Christmas party this weekend or sitting by the fire, give this a try.

Ingredients

• 6 largest egg yolks

• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 2 cups whole milk of almond milk
• pinch of salt
