Healthy Eggnog Recipes You’ll Feel Good About on Breakfast Television
If you love the cozy, nostalgic flavour of eggnog but don’t love the heavy cream, refined sugar, and holiday energy crash that usually comes with it, you’re in the right place. On Breakfast Television, I shared three Healthy Eggnog Recipes. They capture the classic flavour you crave while keeping things light, balanced, and completely dairy-free. The segment originally aired on December 3, 2025. Watch it here.
Why I love these Eggnog Recipes
Traditional eggnog is nostalgic and delicious, but it’s usually loaded with cream, sugar, and alcohol, which can leave you feeling sluggish. These recipes don’t contain any actual eggnog. Instead, they use wholesome ingredients and warming spices like nutmeg, cinnamon, and vanilla to recreate that holiday magic in a healthier way. Each recipe is balanced with protein, fibre, and healthy fats to avoid the classic holiday energy crash.
Whether you’re baking for a cookie exchange, planning a festive brunch, or looking for a nutritious Christmas morning breakfast, these Healthy Eggnog Recipes will keep you feeling energized, satisfied, and totally in the holiday spirit. They are also free from common allergens.
