If you enjoy celebrating the holiday season with eggnog, but have dietary restrictions or adhere to a very specific vegetarian lifestyle, this vegan eggnog recipe is the one for you. The healthy raw recipe from the Free People blog is spicy, sweet and contains all the comfort you've come to expect from the seasonal beverage.
Both dairy and egg-free, the festive drink requires a high speed and high quality blender. Using ingredients like coconut milk, cashews, pecans, pitted dates and seasonal spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and even vanilla), the vegan eggnog means you don't have to be excluded from this aspect of traditional holiday cheer despite your nontraditional diet. For a little extra cheeriness, you can also add a splash of rum to make a classic Christmas cocktail.
