I LOVE egg nog at the holidays! Okay, I can drink it any time, really......problem is, it is definitely not that healthy for you! So, I went searching and found some really great low-fat and healthy egg nog recipes! Enjoy!
Low-Fat Egg Nog
6 cups of skim milk
1 cup of Egg Beaters (or your favorite comparable product)
Sweetener to taste
2 teaspoons of real vanilla extract (Rub a little behind your ears and live a little!)
2 teaspoons of rum extract
Ground nutmeg and cinnamon (or you can use a bit of pumpkin pie spice)
Heat the milk, Egg Beaters and sweetener in the microwave on high until thickened, stirring every minute or so. You can also use your stove if you prefer. Remove from microwave or stovetop and stir in the remaining ingredients. Next, cover the mixture very tightly with plastic wrap and chill. Sprinkle with additional nutmeg and cinnamon if desired. You can even add a dollop of nonfat, sugarfree topping for an added treat!
This recipe for Holiday Egg Nog makes about six – eight ounce servings for about 100 calories each.

I really like this. I usually get the pre-made egg nog in the carton. Now, I am going to try these recipes. Great job.
