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!
Homemade Vegan Eggnog (Hempnog)
- 1 Cup Raw Hemp Hearts
- 1 Cup Mashed Japanese Sweet Potato Flesh (loosely packed)
- ¼ Cup Erythritol
- ½ Tsp Pure Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla Extract
- ½ Tsp Cinnamon
- ½ Tsp Ground Nutmeg
- 4 Cups Cold Water
- Add all the ingredients (except the water) into The Nutramilk.
- First, use the "butter" function and let blend for 3 minutes.
- Now add the 4 cups of water to the unit, set to mix for one minutes.
- Now simply dispense the liquid from the unit.
- Top each glass with extra nutmeg or cinnamon if desired!
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?

Tis the season for yummy eggnog!
Gotta have it!
That machine is genius! I’m definitely ordering one. I’m like you, the vegan nog is so much better than conventional.
It is! So much fun to use, haha!
Vegan all the way!
Super idea!! Love it!!
Thanks!
I am not a fan of store-bought egg nog, but yours is calling my name! It looks so creamy and delicious.
This is THE best 😉
This sounds amazing ♥️🎅🏼🌲⛄️
Thanks!
I absolutely love egg! What a great recipe to try. Love the blender too!
Thank you!
Great alternative and the recipe looks delish!
Thanks!
Living in the UK where eggnog isn’t really a thing, I’ve never actually tried it, but this creamy, spiced drink sounds absolutely delicious!
Well, don’t worry 😉 You didn’t miss out on the “real stuff”!
Looks like simple and tasty recipe. Hemp is best in all way!
It’s a great seed for milks!
Yum! Need to try this!

Yes you do!
Great recipe! Thank you… I’m sending it to my sister in hopes that she will make it for me!
Haha, make it yourself!
Can this be made without the Erythritol?
You need to use your typical choice for a granulated sugar.
I’m 100% with you – eggnog alternatives are WAY better than regular eggnog! I’ve never considered using hemp milk before though, so I’ll have to give this one a try!
Yes! Honestly, all vegan versions of foods/drinks like this taste 10000x better!
Hi, thanks for sharing this dairy free alternative. Egg nog reminds me of Christmas holidays in America
More like “EGG” free alternative 😉
I’m definitely an eggnog fan! I wasn’t as a kid though. I’d love to try a dairy free version!
I think you’ll LOVE this one 😉
With you on the eggnog – I’ve never had it but just the thought of it makes me cringe… barf in a glass! Can you tell I’ve never, ever liked eggs? LOL! Your festive smoothies does seem so much more palatable!
Eggs are the devil, haha!
I’m not sure I’ve ever had an eggnog, but I’d be happy drinking one of yours. It sounds delicious.
This is the only one you’ll want!
I gotta have eggnog this time of year!! Thanks for sharing!!!
A holiday essential!
The NutraMilk is an awesome appliance! And this homemade vegan eggnog looks so delicious!

I have never had eggnog, but would love to try it after reading your post and looking at your photos!
Well this is a great non-eggnog to try!
My husband LOVES eggnog – I think I’m going to have to make this for him! Thanks for sharing 🙂
You can trick him with this nice healthy option 😉
Looks delicious, have not tried anything similar, thanks for recipe xoxo
Thanks!
What an interesting recipe! i love hemp milk. I don’t really like ‘regular’ egg nog but bet I would love this! 😉
Exactly! The “real stuff” is not so “nice” 😉
Never wanted to try eggnog til now! You’ve converted me. 😉

Thanks! Hope you give this one a shot!
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.

Eggs are gross, haha!
The world is coming around to the Vegan lifestyle. I’m glad to see more Vegan recipes.
I’m more concerned with food allergies here on Strength and Sunshine 🙂
I am a HUGE fan of eggnog and I’m sure would love Hempnog too.
This is the only way to have it!
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!
Yup! You’d have to go old school with a blender and nutmilk bag.
Awesome recipe! I have been looking for healthier recipes. I will defitnely try this!
I know you’ll enjoy it!
This is a fun recipe I could make with my family. Thank you
Enjoy!
How exciting. Never heard of “hemp nog’ before!
Well, how could you?
This looks SO good. I haven’t had actual eggnog in foreverrr, but this recipe sounds really interesting to try! 🙂
Thank you! This will be a new tradition!
I know what my girlfriend is going to be making now! Yummy!
Haha, fantastic! Enjoy!
So pretty! Great holiday party drink.
You bet!
This looks delicious! I’ve never thought of making my own eggnog!
Well this way you can!
My husband and four children all love eggnog. I don’t like it but maybe I’ll love this version.
You will be enjoying along with them this year!
This looks delicious! It’s so hard to find allergy friendly recipies that look good.
Thank you!
