Ingredients

  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup almond milk
  • 1 scoop IsoPure Zero Carb Vanilla Protein Powder
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons Swerve confectioners sweetener
  • ½ teaspoon glucomannan (optional)
  • ½ cup ice

Instructions

  1. First add the ice to a blender.

  2. Next add in the cream and almond milk. Then add the rest of the ingredients except the glucomannan.

  3. Blend on high until the ice is crushed and it's mixed well. Then turn it on the lowest setting and pour in the glucomannan if using until it's blended into the drink.

  4. The glucomannan will continue to thicken when in the refrigerator so if you want it thicker, just refrigerate it for 15 minutes.

  5. If making into a cocktail, add 2 oz of rum, vodka or bourbon and the end. Garnish with grated nutmeg or cinnamon. If making into a dessert or cocktail you can add whipped cream.

Recipe Notes

The nutritional information for 1 serving is: 286 cals / 23.9 fat / 3.7g carbs / 1.2g fiber / 14.3g protein = 2.5g net carbs

  • This recipe can be used as an eggnog flavored morning smoothie or cocktail.
  • To make a cocktail just add 2 shots of rum, vodka or bourbon to the blender. This recipe makes 2 servings so one shot per serving.
  • If you want to eliminate the protein powder add an extra ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract and more sweetener to taste. The protein powder adds protein, flavor and sweetness so you make up for that.
  • I used heavy cream to make this more decadent but if you want to shave some calories off, just use almond milk in place of the cream.
  • I also used glucomannan to thicken the shake but it's entirely optional. 
  • You can use your favorite protein mix but I suggest IsoPure Zero Carb Vanilla. Just make sure the one you use is low carb and vanilla flavored.
