For plant-based eaters, store-bought vegan eggnog can frankly be more terrifying than the thought of eating dairy or eggs when it’s laden with chemicals and refined sugar.
For health-conscious and plant-based eaters alike, the holiday season can be tough. Walking into a grocery store during this time of year can be torturous looking at all the holiday treats that are off-limits.
But fear not, this healthy and vegan take on America’s favorite holiday beverage will put you in a jolly mood (whether you spike it with a splash of soul-warming Kentucky bourbon or not).
