  • eggnog shake for breakfast!!!

    quick and easy!

    I've always hated eggs, I've tried so many times...
    over and over I sat with a plate of eggs and I couldnt push them down...

    but, they're fast, and easy, and cheap!!

    so, for a few days I've been making myself an eggnog shake, and I really love it.
    I thought I wasn't going to like the texture of it, but it just feels like a nice creamy shake.

    I put a few eggs in the blender, and whip them up by themselves. I like that better than hand-beating, because it ends up more smooth and liquidy. then a splash of heavy cream, a little splenda and... the part that sells it for me is a little vanilla.

    it's great. I've made and consumed breakfast in about 5minutes, where scrambled would take me longer to cook, and even longer to eat.
    it's been keeping me honest about having breakfast instead of finding an excuse.

      It really sounds good. I don't worry about fresh eggs any more. If the store has them under refrigeration and has a lot of traffic, they are fresh. Right now that recipe sounds good. I'm going to try it for breakfast

            What an awesome idea. I just made one with a small modification. I added ice cubes to the before blending and made it frozen...yummy. Thanks for sharing. Thanks for sharing and I love eggs.

              Wow...this sounds yummmy!!! A couple questions - how long do I blend the eggs in the blender? How many eggs do you usually use?

                well, I'm reeeeeeeeeeeeally loving it, I think I'm a new convert.
                I've had breakfast every day this week, and that's a great accomplishment for me.
                I've been trying to have a big breakfast and a smaller dinner (it's usually backwards for me) so I've been having 4 eggs every day.

                and I dont think there's really any way to make this wrong. I put them in the blender and blend for a few seconds, i think the more you leave it the frothier it gets. and I haven't measured anything all through the week, and they taste great.
                today I did try to add a little less splenda in and have a clear idea of how much I put in, and I used 1 and a half teaspoons.

                it's crazy how excited I am by this, it totally makes this way of eating much more sustainable for me!!

                I've never been much of a breakfast lover, and having something heavy, or that took a lot of cooking made sure I just skipped it altogether!

                  That sounds completely gross too me. Someone else who thinks that sound gross should make them and let me know what they think.

                    I know...
                    it messed with my head too
                    when i was about to take the first sip i actually expected to gag...
                    and then I didn't!
                    i was actually surprised! then i tried it again, and couldn't believe i actually liked it!
                    oddly enough, the shake doesnt make me think of eggs in the least! it doesnt smell eggy, it smells like yummy vanilla. it doesn't feel slimey! it feels like a creamy shake, it doesn't even taste like egg!
                    who would have thought!
                    the first try I did, i used a single egg, a lot of cream, and a lot of splenda.... and loved it. I've been moving little by little into less fillers

                    maybe one of these days you'll take the plunge and try it....

                            I would so have to use some pumpkin or allspice in mine to be able to drink it. I hate plain eggnog. I am going to try it today though.

                              Had one for breakfast this morning and it was great! Thank you so much!!!! I thought if I ate another egg I was going to lose my breakfast!
                              besides I've always been fond of drinking my breakfast!
