Vegan Holiday Nog Creamer
Making plant based milks and creamers at home is so easy. Not only that but it’s much more affordable than store bought and helps you minimize processed foods and added sugar in your diet. Most store bought plant milks and creamers contain so much sugar and additives it’s hard to even call them food. This is why I make mine at home.
One of my favorite things to add to my morning ritual during the holiday season is special edition holiday creamers for my coffees and matchas. I have always loved buying them but I stopped once I realized how much sugar and unnecessary ingredients were in them. I learned to make my own at home just using a few simple ingredients including dates as the only sweetener.
This egg and dairy free Nog Creamer is one of my favorites for the holiday season. You can add this to and morning beverage or your hot cocoa too!
I used my Vitamix to blend this up and then I strained it using this strainer here. This helps me make the smoothest and creamiest plant milks and creamers at home.
