Trader Joe's is making egg nog more accessible with the debut of its new Trader Joe’s O’ Nog.
Though egg nog has been popular for centuries, it's almost always made with dairy-based ingredients. Now, there's a dairy-free option for consumers looking for a tasty alternative.
Trader Joe’s O’ Nog is a non-dairy beverage "that calls on the power of oats to deliver the same creamy, satisfying, nutmeg-and-ginger profile, but with all vegan ingredients." This means that even though there's no dairy or eggs in this, you'll still enjoy the cool creaminess of a fresh glass for serving, Trader Joe's suggests adding a splash of rum, using in a bread pudding, or just enjoying it on its own.
