THE PULSE

There’s nothing more synonymous with the holidays than eggnog! It is creamy and full-of-spice flavor; we know it is hard to resist. However most packaged eggnogs (including the non-dairy versions) are full of refined sugar, coloring, and other processed food ingredients.

When that craving for eggnog calls, why not whip out this version instead? Great for a post-workout recovery, an easy afternoon snack, or an evening treat cuddled up by the fire. This Eggnog Protein Shake checks all the boxes, without all the not-so-nice ingredients! Get your Nogg fix and keep your fitness goals in the mix.
