a joyous union of eggs and nogs.

it's day two of december, and as you can see below on my bucket list,
i have officially checked off two items.
score.

and now ladies and gentlemen...

i would like to formally let you all know that not only did i find dairy-free eggnog,

i found two different types of dairy-free eggnog!

...so obviously i had to buy both and do a taste test.

the competitors:

'SO DELICIOUS' Dairy Free Coconut Milk "Nog"

vs

'Silk' Soymilk "Seasonal Nog"

i typically try to steer clear of most soy products, due to health reasons, so i have to say:

 i entered this challenge with a bias.

i tried the coconut 'nog' first hoping it would be the winner.

it was definitely 'noggy'. it had the right taste, and it was just as thick as normal eggnog.

however, i usually water down my eggnog with milk to make it less thick, 

so i tried thinning it with almond milk, but it didn't mix well. yuck.

it also had a super strong after taste. 

if you've ever had coconut milk products before, you know what i mean. 

it leaves a 'thick' aftertaste/feel in your mouth. i am not a fan of that.

next was the soymilk 'seasonal nog'.

for me... it was love at first pour.

it was thinner than the coconut nog, 

and the perfect consistency for a watered-down-normal-nog-lover.

i was just as pleased when i tasted it. it had the perfect balance of the eggnog flavor, 

without being overwhelming and without the yucky aftertaste.

there you have it folks. the soy-nog wins the prize...

and my holiday devotion.

is it sad that these are the things i get excited about these days?!
