Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup chilled eggnog (traditional or dairy-free, store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 frozen banana (sliced; adds creaminess and natural sweetness)
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt for a lighter, tangy boost)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (plus more for garnish)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1–2 teaspoons maple syrup or honey (optional, to taste)
  • 1/2–3/4 cup ice (adjust for thickness)
  • Pinch of sea salt (optional, enhances flavor)
  • Whipped cream (optional, for topping)

Method
 

  1. Chill your base. Use cold eggnog and a frozen banana. Cold ingredients blend thicker and taste brighter.
  2. Load the blender. Add eggnog, frozen banana, Greek yogurt, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, and a pinch of salt. Start with no added sweetener.
  3. Blend until smooth. Begin on low, then move to high for 20–30 seconds. Add ice and blend again until creamy.
  4. Taste and adjust. If you want it sweeter, blend in maple syrup or honey 1 teaspoon at a time. For thinner texture, add a splash more eggnog.
  5. Serve cold. Pour into a chilled glass, top with whipped cream if you like, and finish with a dusting of nutmeg.
