I still remember our dairy-free days like they were yesterday. Although I enjoy raw dairy now, there are some dairy-free recipes that I have grown to love. This yummy, high-fat nondairy raw eggnog recipe is one of them. It’s a great way to start your day whether it’s the holiday season or not!
It is very simple to make, too. I find it tastes best with ingredients that are very fresh.
I love to use raw almonds that I soaked overnight, and fresh coconut straight from the shell (the brown coconuts). I blend them up right before making this so I have a super fresh coconut and almond milk eggnog to enjoy.
For straining freshly made nut milk, I LOVE this nut milk bag. Since I make coconut milk all the time, it is essential to have a high quality nut milk bag. I’ve been through several different brands and have had the unfortunate luck of them bursting on me after just a few uses. This nut milk bag is BIG and STRONG, and will get the job done without disappointing you!
