Why This Recipe Is So Easy

Busy holiday schedules call for simple solutions, and this Vegan Holiday Nog is as easy as blend, heat, and serve. With just a blender and a saucepan, you can prepare this festive drink in under 10 minutes.

JOI’s Milk Concentrates eliminate the need for pre-made, store-bought plant milks—just mix the concentrate with water to create the perfect creamy base on demand.

Why Use JOI in This Recipe?

When it comes to clean eating, JOI is your best friend. Unlike many store-bought plant milks that rely on emulsifiers, gums, and preservatives, JOI’s flagship paste concentrates are made with just one ingredients— almonds or cashews or hemp. Here’s why JOI shines in this recipe:

• Nutrient Dense: Almonds and cashews are rich in healthy fats, protein, and essential vitamins, making this nog as nourishing as it is delicious.

• Convenience: The concentrate format lets you make fresh, creamy plant milk in seconds. Add the water yourself and adjust the consistency to your liking.

• Sustainability: JOI helps you reduce food waste and packaging waste.  Shelf-stable concentrates use less packaging than cartons, and making only what you need reduces spoilage.

• Better for the Planet: The concentrate format minimizes shipping weight and volume, reducing the carbon footprint of your drink. Read more about plant-based sustainability benefits.

Substitutions and Customizations for This Recipe

One of the best parts of this Vegan Holiday Nog is its versatility. Here are some ways to make it your own:

• Sweetener Options: Swap maple syrup for agave, date syrup, or coconut or maple sugar.

• Spice it Up: Love bold flavors? Add a pinch of cloves or a splash of rum extract for extra holiday flair.

• Nut-Free Version: Use JOI’s Oat Milk Powder or Oat Creamer for a nut-free alternative. It’s just as creamy and delicious.

• Protein Boost: Blend in a scoop of your favorite plant-based protein powder to turn this into a post-workout treat.

Tips for the Perfect Vegan Holiday Nog

• Heat Gently: When warming your nog, keep the heat low and stir frequently to maintain its creamy texture.

• Top It Off: A dollop of vegan whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon take this drink to the next level.

• Batch It: Hosting a holiday gathering? Double or triple the recipe to serve a crowd. Your guests will thank you!
