A classic holiday beverage made vegan, gluten-free, paleo, top-8 allergy-free, and sugar-free! This Homemade Vegan Eggnog, aka “Hempnog”, will be a standout drink recipe to include this season! Even the non-eggnog drinkers will fall in love!
Just when you thought I couldn’t get any crazier with my recreations! The classic and traditional Christmas holiday beverage was just begging to be made “free-from” and enjoyable for all! Let me start off by saying I’ve always hated eggnog for as long as I can remember (even when I wasn’t egg-free). My brother always loved it growing up, still does, but me? Heck no! But eggnog is SUCH a holiday “thing”. My grandpa would always offer us eggnog the moment we walked in the door at my grandparent’s house on Christmas Eve (I always denied the offer, haha!)
The thing is, vegan versions of certain recipes are actually 100x more appealing and delicious. And a perfect example is this “eggnog”, or what I like to call “hempnog”. This nifty little drink recipe is 100% homemade. How you may ask? Well, let me introduce you to one of my new favorite appliances. The NutraMilk is a one-of-a-kind appliance that is about to make it SO easy for you to create your own alternative milks and butters right at home in minimal time! I used The NutraMilk to make my own hemp milk turned “eggnog” and was blown away by how easy it was!
The NutraMilk is not a “blender” and it only takes 3 simple steps to to make virtually any alternative (nut, seed, legume, grain) milk or butter. It’s cost effective, perfect for us dairy-free and vegan folks, and doesn’t require the messy clean up of “nut milk bags” you’d need with your typical blender. I remembered seeing The NutraMilk’s Kickstarter campaign last year and thought it would be pretty nifty to add to my kitchen appliance collection. So glad I got my hands on one and now you can too! Pre-order now through 12/8 and use NUTRAMILK50 for $50 off MSRP and receive a free bonus storage container! Units will ship at the end of November (while supplies last)!
So you can say I am now obsessed with making my own alternative milks and butters! It’s so easy now (no going back to the old methods)! Since the holidays are upon us, I knew I had to take this opportunity and make this obsession useful, i.e. the NOG had to happen! You and I, we can all partake in the “nogging” festivities this year. Don’t worry, if you never liked eggnog before, like me, I guarantee you will LOVE this version!
This “hempnog”, vegan eggnog, is a combination of fresh hemp milk, Japanese sweet potato (for extra creaminess and sweetness!), and some cozy spices and sweetener. It’s the perfect level of creaminess and smoothness, with just the right amount of sweet, but also warming and cozy with those seasonal spices (hello, cinnamon and nutmeg)! There is no gluten, soy, nuts, dairy, or eggs in right here, making it perfectly vegan, gluten-free, paleo, and top-8 allergy-free! If this isn’t a Christmas miracle…I don’t know what is!

The way Wikipedia defines eggnog (they call it milk punch or egg milk punch) is “traditionally made with milk, cream, sugar, whipped egg whites and egg yolks”. No wonder that wasn’t ever appealing to me! But guess what guys, this “hempnog”/vegan eggnog has none of the scary things and is perfectly fresh, healthy, and delicious! With the ease of The Nutramilk, you’ll be making “hempnog” more than just a seasonal thing! Now, who’s ready to get the holiday festivities started?!
So tell me:
+ Eggnog, fan or not a fan?

You need to use your typical choice for a granulated sugar.

I’m not really a fan of eggnogg, even though I have tried different ones. (I don’t like eggs.) What I like most about this recipe is that it is a vegan alternative, not using eggs. It makes me curious to know if I would like this alternative. I might have to try it.
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Eggs are gross, haha!
Mark
The world is coming around to the Vegan lifestyle. I’m glad to see more Vegan recipes.

I am a HUGE fan of eggnog and I’m sure would love Hempnog too.
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
This is the only way to have it!
Debra
How would you suggest making this without that NutraMilk gadget? A blender and nutmilk bag? Or do the hempseeds grind up in a high speed blender? Sounds delish!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Yup! You’d have to go old school with a blender and nutmilk bag.
Janice
Awesome recipe! I have been looking for healthier recipes. I will defitnely try this!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
I know you’ll enjoy it!
