My friend, Jeannie (different from this Jeanne who I’ve posted recipes from in the past), gave me this eggnog recipe and said she often gives it to her teenage sons to get extra protein in them for their growing bodies. This is much more natural and better for you than any powdered “protein drink” you may have had in the past.

I had to adjust her amounts a little because this made too much for my blender. (I found this out after an unfortunate experience…)

I love how this recipe includes whey. I’ve heard of some drinking it straight for health reasons, but I doubt I could do that, so this is a great way to drink some whey! (Oh, that was really bad…you can tell I’ve been on the computer too many hours this weekend trying to get the new site up!)

Jeannie’s Healthy & Tasty Eggnog

• 5 egg yolks (from a local farm with pastured chickens, don’t eat grocery store eggs raw)
  
• 1/2 c. maple syrup
• pinch of sea salt
• nutmeg to taste (I did one shake of it into the blender – 1/8 t.?)
  
• 1 or 2 T. whey (if you have it)
• 1 T. lemon juice, organic if possible
  
• 3 c. raw milk (or pasteurized whole milk, NOT ultra-pasteurized!)
  
• 1 c. raw cream (see above)
  

Beat or blend eggs until thick. Add syrup, salt, nutmeg, whey and lemon juice. Add milk and cream. Beat until frothy. Enjoy!
