Sugar Free Eggnog (2024)

FAQs

Which eggnog has the least sugar? ›

Plant-Milk Eggnogs Can Be Lower in Sugars and Saturated Fat

'Nog made from nut, oat, or soy milk will give you the flavor of the season, and it tends to be lower in calories and saturated fat because it doesn't contain cream, eggs, or milk. (That means that these types of eggnog are lower in protein and calcium too.)

Beverages such as soda, punch and eggnog contain high amounts of sugar, which will also raise your blood glucose. To ensure you're staying hydrated while also keeping blood sugar levels in mind, choose water, herbal tea, coffee or diet soft drinks.

Without the sugar and the dairy milk, eggnog is very low in carbs - just 1 g net carb per serving.

If it's too sweet, you can mix in heavy whipping cream and/or any kind of milk to dilute it. As often done in traditional eggnogs, you could beat egg whites until foamy and stir that in. It'll add a frothier texture and more volume to the drink so that it's not as sweet.

If you are really looking to knock out some calories, consider purchasing soy nog or rice nog. These alternatives to regular eggnog contain less fat and nearly half the calories of regular store-bought eggnog. Vanilla chai tea is also a great holiday alternative for those with non-dairy diets.

But be aware that a single cup can pack in 400 calories and 40 grams of sugar. So, if eggnog is a daily indulgence throughout the holiday season, it pays to find a better-for-you nog that you truly enjoy. Fortunately, there are a few lower-sugar eggnog options out there that taste pretty good, too.

Per 1/2 Cup: 120 calories; 1 g sat fat (5% DV); 85 mg sodium (4% DV); 21 total sugars. 81% less fat and 33% fewer calories than regular eggnog (Regular eggnog: 8 g fat and 180 calories per serving.

It really is the best dairy free eggnog. Made with almond milk and the classic eggs, sugar, and spices, you really can't go wrong. No trick or weird ingredients. Just dairy free and creamy with all those warm holiday spices that you live for!

Shaking eggnog with ice dilutes it just a little. This helps turn the volume down on its inherent sweetness and thins it so it's not tacky thick, and viscous. It gets your eggnog nicely chilled too, which helps the store-bought stuff taste less sticky sweet.
