Skinny Eggnog - Quick and Easy image

My very favorite holiday treat is eggnog, which is probably the most fat and calorie laden of all.

Ingredients

1/2 gal milk, 1%, 2%, or skim, your choice, can also include some ff half & half
1 pt eggbeaters or other brand egg substitute
2 pkg small size sugar free vanilla or french vanilla instant pudding mix
1 tsp nutmeg, more or less to taste
1 tsp rum extract, optional

Steps:

1. Put all ingredients in blender and mix until smooth and creamy. If you prefer your eggnog a little sweeter, you may add some additional sweetener but this has always been sweet enough for me. Use the rum extract if you like the flavor of rum, I usually skip it. Not as skinny, but you can add real rum if you like!
2. Please note: Eggbeaters are double pasteurized and safe to drink. They are not raw eggs.
3. Please also note: Nutmeg is a strong spice and will become stronger as it sits. Better to add more later if needed. I love it and start with a teaspoon, taste the next morning and adjust if needed. My mom starts with a half teaspoon. If you want to drink some right away, add a little extra to your glass instead of the entire batch. If you prefer boiled custard to eggnog, omit the nutmeg altogether.
