Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

When the holiday season rolls around, one drink immediately comes to mind: eggnog. Creamy, rich, and perfectly spiced, it’s a treat that feels like a glass full of holiday spirit. But let’s face it—traditional eggnog is loaded with sugar, calories, and sometimes booze, so it’s good for a rare indulgence at most.

But that smooth, creamy, rich flavor… Wouldn’t it be wonderful if you could have all the comforting flavor of eggnog, but in a way that fits into your healthy lifestyle? Now you can!

This eggnog protein shake brings you the best of both worlds: it’s simple to make, tastes like holiday cheer, and fuels your body with high-quality nutrition instead of a heavy belly followed by a sugar crash.

Made with BioTRUST Low Carb Vanilla Protein Powder, this recipe is packed with creamy goodness, festive spices, and wholesome ingredients that will keep you feeling good and energized. Best of all, you can whip one up to enjoy any time—for breakfast, after your workout, as a quick afternoon pick-me-up, or for an after-dinner treat.
