If that doesn't sound like an oxymoron...
About a week ago Jane bought a quart of Silk Eggnog. We've enjoyed the Silk Coffee-Milk and Silk Chocolate Milk, so Jane figured we'd give this a try for the holidays.
One of our guests to this blog, Shannon, commented that this product is amazing. So, once again, I had high hopes. Well, Shannon is right. It's really good, and while I can't say I'd want it every day, I certainly expect we'll be having more of it over this holiday season.
Caveat to the reader: I was never one for traditional eggnog, I always found the rum to be too overpowering. I remember having some one year waaaay back when, in my adolescence, sans booze, that was really good - but my girl cousins wouldn't have more than a glass, too many calories.
The Silk product isn't going to help you out if you're dieting, but it's probably a whole lot lower in calories than those traditional egg and cream concoctions!

Home Made Almond MilkAll I can say is wow. This stuff blows away what you can buy in the store. Jane received a Soyabella Milk Maker for Christmas this year. So far, it's been amazing. The milks you can make are far superior to what you can buy, as is often the case...
Skim Milk / Lo-Fat Milk Linked to Prostate CancerAnother reason to go vegan: Non-fat/lo-fat milk consumption has been linked to an increased risk of prostate cancer. Two separate studies showed a correlation between non-fat or low-fat milk consumption and the risk of prostate malignancies. The...
Lentil Loaf - Day TwoIt was lentil loaf for dinner again tonight. As I mentioned in last night's post, not my favorite meal. However, it was better tonight. Jane made my favorite iteration of brussel sprouts to accompany the loaf. This is the same recipe for brussel...
Trader Joe's Chicken-Less StripsHi everyone. It's Jane writing tonight. Lane and I realized that he's hogging all the spotlight, so tonight I'm getting the byline. To tell the truth, we often collaborate on these posts. I tend to spend time in the morning researching what...
It's Not SplendidWe must fight against the spirit of unconscious cruelty with which we treat the animals. Animals suffer as much as we do. True humanity does not allow us to impose such sufferings on them. It is our duty to make the whole world recognize it. ...

I also tried the Silk eggnog and really enjoyed it. Unfortunately, it’s not available at our local grocery store and I only purchased one container while shopping at a store 2 hours away from my home. It was so good I finished the container in just 2 days! Agh!
Hi Melissa,
More bad news… The Silk eggnog is seasonal. We’ve only seen it at our local Whole Foods and they didn’t have any more in the store. We asked the stock person and he said they wouldn’t have it again until next Christmas season. There was some Vita Soy Eggnog which we picked up. Haven’t tried that yet, but one of us will post about it after we’ve had some.

I cant find this anywhere!! Ugh!! I want it, I want it, I want it.
Hi Crystal,
I don’t know when they start carrying the Silk Nog. Their website lists it as a seasonal product, and that season is right around the corner. So… soon!
I use this nog in my coffee, throw in a dash of cinnamon and you have a yummy egg nog latte!
Hey Wendy,
What a great idea. Thanks for sharing!
