Comments: Not so long ago eggnog was made by blending raw eggs and cream together to make a very rich, thick beverage. Rum and nutmeg were often added to the adult drink. Today, food safety experts discourage drinking or consuming raw eggs at any time. (Purchased eggnog contains pasteurized eggs to eliminate any safety concerns.) Here, though, we've used soy drink and bananas, making a delightful taste while dramatically boosting the nutrition. Try it!

Soy drink is a lactose-free, milk-like product that has been fortified with calcium and other nutrients to make it fairly comparable nutritionally to cow's milk. It smells and looks slightly different than cow's milk, so don't be surprised when you first open it! After opening, you need to use it within 7 to 10 days.

“Food without wine is a corpse; wine without food is a ghost; united and well mitched they are as body and soul, living partners.”
