Eggnog isn't really in my weight loss plan. But I decided that this would be one of my treats this year. But first I wanted to at least try to make it fit into my diet. Over the river and through the woods to Google we go! Which is how I found this great photo that really sums up my relationship with eggnog:

I found a lot of great low-carb recipes. But the one I am try this one wit Egg Beaters. Using raw egg gets me all skeeved out. Egg Beaters are pasteurized, so I'm a little less sguidgy about it.
- 1 carton (16 oz each) Egg Beaters® Original
- 1 pkg (3.4 oz each) Sugar Free vanilla instant pudding mix
- 3-4 Splenda packets
If you want the alcoholic version, add a few shots of rum...or you know, the whole bottle if I'm coming to the party.
For a non-alcoholic version you can use:
- 1 oz each rum extract
- 1 oz each vanilla extract
- water
all to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 quarts fat free half-and-half
- 2 cups Reddi-wip® Fat Free Dairy Whipped Topping
- Whisk together Egg Beaters, pudding mix, sugar, extract and nutmeg with whisk in large bowl until sugar is dissolved and mixture is blended.
- Add half-and-half gradually while stirring constantly. Gently stir in Reddi-wip until blended well.
- Cover and refrigerate 2 hours or until chilled. Stir just before serving. Sprinkle with additional nutmeg, if desired.
Serves 22 people.

If I had planned better for this, I would have done a Medifast version of eggnog. But to be honest, it JUST dawned on me how I could have done it. So here it is:
Blend packet with water (following directions on packet) and some ice.
If you'd like a thicker eggnog, use a 1/2 packet of Medifast Vanilla pudding and 1/2 packet of French Vanilla pudding.
If you want to be bad, add a little clear rum. If you want to be good, ignore that last sentence. :)
Supposedly clear rum is carb-free - but since I cannot find any info to back that up, I won't lead you to believe that it is. Rum is made from sugar so common sense tells us that it should have carbs. Can anyone tell me the real deal?
I hope everyone enjoys their treats responsibly this holiday season.
Happy holidays everyone!
