Vegan Blueberry Nog

Who is ready for a cozy winter night with a warm vegan blueberry nog mug? Yes, you read it right! Traditionally, eggnog is made with whole milk, cream, sugar, spices, and…eggs. But I always like implementing innovative new ideas! My homemade eggnog is free of animal products, dairy-free, and an egg-free alternative to a traditional drink. It’s creamy and unusually blue, a.k.a conversation piece, perfect for holiday gatherings! It resembles a traditional recipe in taste and is spiced with the season’s stars, nutmeg, and cinnamon.
